Jude sat down at the table and smiled at Nyx. "So," He said, folding his arms on the table, "What did you think about the zoo? –And the city, so far."

"I loved the zoo!" Nyx replied happily. "Can we go to another one soon please?" He asked, squirming in his seat a little bit as he looked up at Jude, a wide smile on his face.

"Mhhh," Jude sighed, wrinkling his nose as he looked at Nyx, elated, "Yes…but no, but yeah, we'll definitely go…but soon?" Jude smiled, he couldn't say no. "In the future? Yes. In the next week? Uh. Mayb– probably not."

Nyx blinked slowly, trying to make sense of Jude's jumble of words. "So that's a maybe?" He replied slowly, blinking at Jude.

"It's a yes," Jude said with a slow nod, "But over a few weeks, or…months." He wore a small, hopeful smile, "Besides, there are too many other places for me to show you."

Nyx nodded. "Oh. Okay." He replied with another happy smile. "Like where?" He asked, raising his eyebrows curiously.

"Well…" Jude said with a coy smile, looking up as he began to list the places, "There's the Statue of Liberty, Chelsea Market, the Botanic Garden in Brooklyn, Broadway, maybe Times Square, Luna Park, um…" He paused, raising his eyebrows at his next thought, "…Coney Island."

He looked at Jude. "I don't know what any of those places are." he said, blinking and cocking his head. "So what are they?"

"Places," Jude grinned, resting his chin in the palm of his hand, "Monuments, malls, gardens, famous streets, sights, parks…" He sighed happily, thinking about all the lights and colour and smiles, "…Amusement parks."

"What's the difference between a park and an amusement park?" he asked, tipping his head slightly as he looked over at Jude.

Jude smiled, "A park is…well, a park, with trees and paths, y'know." He softly chuckled, "But an amusement park is way busier– with rides, and games, and overpriced treats, and is just…great."

Nyx nodded. "Oh. We can go to both?" he asked, glancing around for a moment, then over at Jude, smiling happily.

"Mhm," Jude nodded with a little smile, "There are lots of parks in the city, besides Central Park, which isn't too far away. But Coney Island– that's in Brooklyn and 's a bit of a drive."

"Oh. okay." he replied with another little smile. "How long until the food gets here? i'm hungry." he said, looking at Jude.

"It'll be here in a minute– I can see it from here," Jude said, craning his neck to see their meals waiting to be brought over. A waitress skimmed over to the counter and skillfully balanced everything on two trays, turning to walk out to the outdoor tables.

Nyx nodded slightly. "Oh. Okay." he replied, bouncing one leg a little as he waited for the food to arrive. He looked up at the waitress, saying thank you when she dropped off the food.

Jude thanked the waitress and sighed at the crowded table before him. Grilled cheese, juice, and a latte. "Ooo-kay," He smiled, his eyes flickering excitedly as he picked up his sandwich and took a bite.

Nyx looked at his food for a moment, then cautiously took a bite. He smiled a little bit, and kept eating happily.

Jude let out a satisfied hum as he chewed, sighing happily as he leaned back in his chair. "Mm, what do you think?" He smiled, taking a sip of juice.

Nyx blinked. "It's really good." he replied after swallowing, looking over at Jude and smiling softly.

"That's good," Jude said with a nod, taking another bite of his sandwich and glancing at the cup of coffee excitedly.

(Nyx as the kombucha girl hmm..no, well- um maybe– no. no. well..)

Nyx kept eating, smiling softly as he ate. He didn't say anything, though, preferring to just quietly enjoy his food.

(lol gtg soon btw)

Jude ate his grilled cheese with a happy sigh, breathing in the cool, semi-clean air and smiling as a toddler and his family walked past the little restaurant, the kid turning to his mother and mumbling on about how he wanted a grilled cheese.

(Gtg soon sorry)

Nyx frowned slightly as he saw the kid. He thought for a long moment, then looked at Jude. "Jude? I have a question?"
