"You'll have to tell me when you are." He told her in a light hum, not even sounding like he was trying for anything. Not on purpose anyways. "So I can prepare myself for when you might pull me into a trap."

"Oh definitely," Cicada nodded a little trying his tone. She would tell him two days after her birthday, so he would have warning, but also wouldn't know her birthday, "But I'll make sure you've got nothing going on first."

"Mm, thanks. That's greatly appreciated." Phoenix smiled, resting his chin on his palm with a light sigh. "Though, make sure it aligns with your plans as well. Wouldn't want you drunk before you go out."

"Oh definitely," Cicada let out another laugh as she dug further into her plate (bowl?) of noodles. She kept looking up at him, "I wouldn't think about being hangover and needing to go out."

“Alright, just making sure.” Phoenix hummed, his stomach quite satisfied as he continued to eat. “That could be bad.”

"It would be bad," Cicada corrected him. She felt her stomach getting full and she was grateful for it, "Hangovers are a bitch."

"Mm, guess so." Phoenix hummed, smiling a little as he set his fork aside. "I'd agree, but even when I drank I never got drunk." He told her with a light laugh.

"Oh then this is going to be interesting," Cicada let out a laugh. She looked at him resting her head on her hand pausing for her moments, "Your first time being drunk is also going to be you getting absolutely wasted."

"Well, sure will be interesting." Phoenix hummed with a light smirk. "Let's just hope we're both in one piece by the end of this." He mumbled, running a hand down his face with a yawn.

"Yeah," Cicada nodded as she watched over at him. She ran a hand through her hair and studied Phoenix for a moment, "Do you need me to drive back to the campus?"

"Hmm? Oh, no." Phoenix hummed, shaking his head back and forth. He didn't want to make her drive, she was probably just as tired as he was. "I don't mind, I'll be alright to drive back." He insisted, perking up a little bit.

"Okay, if you say so," Cicada replied with a grin as she leaned back in her seat. She didn't completely believe him, but she wasn't going to ask him to stop.

Sighing a bit, he finished off his food and pushed his bowl aside. "Well, I'm full." Phoenix mumbled, picking up his water glass and sipping from it. "How 'bout you?"

"Same here," Cicada said pushing the empty bowl away from her smiling. She took another sip of water humming a little, "Should we start making our way back?"

"Oh, probably. Do we wanna see if there's anything out here, first?" Phoenix asked her, starting to get up from his seat. "We won't come out here often."

Cicada followed after him standing up as well. She messed with her hair again, "Nah, I can come out here on my own. If I find anything interesting I'll let you know."

"Alright, if you're sure. Thought I'd offer, at least." Phoenix hummed with a light smile. "Ready to head out?" He asked her, holding a hand out to her.

"Yep," Cicada replied happily as she took his hand. She started towards the door, "And yeah I'm sure. I'm sure you've had enough adventure for today."

"I mean, if you wanted it, I could muster up the ability to have more adventure. I'm able to do that." Phoenix told her with a light smile. Though he wasn't opposed to just going home.

"No, no. We've got an hour drive to get back to campus," Cicada laughed as she made her way through the front entrance, "I'm getting tired. You're getting tired. Let's just head back."

"Mm… sounds like a good plan. If I had the money, I'd just books us a room at a hotel for the night." He laughed lightly, letting her pull him along. "But then again, I dunno how comfortable we'd be with that."

"Um," Cicada felt her cheeks go alight as she blushed again. She took a deep breath and let her cheeks turn to normal, but they kept a pinky tone, "Not at the moment no. Either way I would offer to pay for the hotel room, but anyway let's go back to campus."

The idea seemed to have set her off, so he knew he shouldn't bring it up again. "Yeah, let's do that." Phoenix hummed, unlocking his car so they could both get in. "After you, m'lady."

Cicada stepped in smiling at him. She grabbed the bear and pulled it onto her lap while she sat down, "Why thank you."

Smiling softly at her, he shut her door before walking around to his own. Ducking in, he started it with a light hum. "Homeward we go. Can you pull up the directions just in case I start veering off course?"
