"I can understand that," Cicada nodded as she looked at the door. It had a nice sign on it saying closed, "Looks like it is closed for the day."

"Yeah, just thought I'd show you." Phoenix smiled softly to her, turning to completely face her. "Anyways, pick a direction. We'll go whatever way you pick." Holding out his hand holding the coffee, he pointed out in a random direction.

Cicada thought for a moment before she pointed forwards, "Thanks for showing me where it is, but let's keep going forward. It'll be more fun that way."

Nodding curtly, he pulled her along slowly in the direction she had asked. "Alright, onward we go!" He hummed out, glancing over his shoulder to her.

Cicada laughed at his statement and she was smiling. She lifted up her free hand as she followed along, "Onward we go!"

Smiling brightly, he knew this was going to be a fun night. His coffee slowly started to kick in, waking him up from the school-work lull he had fallen in. "I'm not sure exactly what's this way, but I'll remember as we go."

Cicada was just becoming more awake with every sip. She had a big smile on as she walked with him, "Then this'll be fun. Me discovering and you remembering."

"Let's just hope we don't get lost." Phoenix snickered, positive they wouldn't really get lost. Even if they did, there were other ways to get back. "We should probably come back no later than 9."

Cicada laughed as she looked at the clock on her phone, "Yeah. 9 sounds good. So let's go get lost in the city!"

Chuckling softly, he drained off the last bit of coffee before tossing it in a nearby trashcan. "Not too lost, I hope. Being lost in the dark sounds unpleasant."

Cicada took another sip still having a little bit left in her cup. She had a grin on, "Of course not too lost, but being a little lost is always fun."

"I guess that's true. As long as you don't get lost forever." He snickered, coming around the back of the library. "Let's figure this place out, shall we?"

"We shall," Cicada responded as she started to pull him along. She had a mischievous smile on, "Let's get lost in the city."

Sighing softly, he shook his head back and forth with a soft snicker. "Are you leading now?" He asked teasingly, watching her with a soft smile.

Cicada looked at him and she stuck her tongue out just slightly. She had a bright grin when she pulled it back in a smirk and sassy voice, "Maybe. You weren't moving fast enough."

Raising a brow, he let a smirk of his own settle on his lips. "You wanna make that a challenge, missy?" He asked her, expecting a yes in return. Of course, he hadn't known her very long, so he could be wrong.

"Hell yeah," Cicada responded never one to turn down a challenge. She was still in her heeled boots, but that wasn't going to stop her from whatever he was suggesting,

"Fine, I'll race you to the pizza parlor down the block. It's not hard to find, it's called Leroy's." Phoenix hummed, giving her his most innocent look. He wasn't lying, but he had a plan to beat her.

"So it's got some big flashy sign? Got it," Cicada responding her face mustered up in determination. She didn't bother to act innocent, Phoenix was doing that enough for the both of them.

"Good luck." He hummed, getting into a running position. "You ready to go, or do you need a minute?" Phoenix asked, stretching out just a bit.

Cicada got into a ready position after stretching her legs for a moment. She shook her head and pulled it back into a ponytail, she always had a hair tie on her. She had a smile on, "Ready whenever you are."

"Alright, then on three." Phoenix hummed out, stretching his back and fingers before readjusting himself. "One…Two… Three!" He called out, starting off at a rather quick pace.

Cicada took off when he called three. It was only a block away, there was no need to hold back. As long as this was the direction the pizza parlor was, Cicada wasn't worried.

As soon as she passed him, Phoenix ducked off into a second pathway. Leroy's was the only place he remembered exactly where it was. Sprinting through the alleyway, he skipped over some stray items knocked over.

Cicada didn't notice him ducking into the alleyway. She really should have, but she didn't. She continued to run dodging anyone that was wandering around, which was like one person. Her eyes were looking for anything that would tell her way Leroy's was.
