When Anastasia arrived she saw Markus waiting for her
"Hey Markus, what ya thinkin about?"
"Oh nothing"
"Alright. Want to do something today?"
"Sure, what do you have in mind?"
"Oh, forgot about that part. Uhh.. we could just walk around?"
"Sure, that'll work."
Anastasia smiles and starts taking the lead of the walk, not sure where she would be going, out of curiosity Anastasia asks Markus a random question out of the blue
"So, what school do you go to?"
"I go to St. Petersons."
"Ah, cool."
They continue their walk around town just talking or walking in silence. Yes they met a couple days ago, but Anastasia feels a comforting feeling around Markus. She guesses it's just how much they've been hanging out, or his type of personality.
"Oh! A dog!"
Markus points out to Anastasia and they see the dog
"I wanna pet it."
"Then ask"
"No thanks."
"You scared? Hm? Chicken?"
"Yeah.. I am.."
"Alright"
As the person and their dog walks by Anastasia with ease starts talking to them. Markus found it quite impressive how Anastasia could just easily talk to random strangers.
"Excuse me, sir. I was wondering if my friend could pet your dog"
Anastasia smiles as she approaches the man with his dog, the man gets caught off guard, as he seemed not very present in reality
"Oh, yes. Of course. I don't mind."
"Thank you"
Markus slowly walks up to the dog and starts petting it.
"His name is Duke, he loves people."
The stranger says in a happy tone. Markus seemed to block out everything around him but Duke. He was so happy petting him, Duke seemed to be just as happy. Markus finished petting Duke as he backs up
"Thank you"
Anastasia says and the stranger nods and walks away with Duke.
"Did you have fun or something?"
"Heh.. yeah.."
A light tint of pink comes up onto his cheeks
"Sorry. I blush when I'm embarrassed"
"I assumed as much"
The two continue their walk around town.
"Hey, I'm hungry. Wanna get something to eat?"
Anastasia turns around to face Markus as he thinks of an answer
"I'm not sure if my family will be home or not to make dinner, and I would rather not risk it."
"That's alright, maybe next time"
They continue on walking and Anastasia spots one of her favourite stores.
"Oh, Markus. Have you ever been here?"
Anastasia points to a building and Markus shakes his head
