Another day spent with Alga, Azka heads out to visit her after yesterdays movie night.
He entered the cafe. The bell above him rang as he opened the door.
"Good evenin' Alga!"
"Good evening to you too Az!"
the two waved at eachother.
Azka went to grab a seat near the counter. It was 5 PM at the time, and he just got home from college to visit her.
"So how'd college go today?"
"Tiring as usual. You know how it is." he sighed in tiredness.
"Hey, thanks for inviting me to that movie yesterday. Really appreciated it"
"Oh, well that came out of nowhere, you're very welcome Az!"
"Although I can't help but feel that I left something before going with you... I can't quite put my finger on it though..."
Alga looks towards Azka's diary that she forgot to give. But decides to keep quiet. "...Maybe you left your phone uncharged?"
"Could be... but I coulda sworn that thing was still powerfull enough... Eh, its probably not too important." He shrugs to himself. "Well, guess I'll order a medium glass of tea while I'm here, and a few cookies to go on the side please!"
"You got it! Give me a second while I whip up your order"
"Ay thanks for doing so!" Azka smiles lightly.
The two of them chat for a little longer when Azka mentions something that he recognized...
"Hey, that yellow scarf. Isn't that the one I gave you years ago?"
"Hm? this? oh! yeah, it is! I still think its very soft and warm!"
"Awh, glad you liked it! you don't wanna know how much time I spent making it." Azka chuckles to himself.
"You made it!? Why'd you never tell me? It makes this scarf even more special!"
"Well gee- uhh, I guess I never got to, heheh. But better late than never am I right?" He smiles at the thought of giving the scarf to her for the first time all those years ago.
"hahah! yeah, thanks again for making this, even though that was so many years ago. Oh! and also, heres your tea and cookies! Hot and fresh! just for my special customer"
"Alrighty! heres the money, and uhh, keep the change. I'll be headin' off now! I'll see you tommorow!" Azka waved at her as he exited the door and she waved back. The two of them were slowly but surely moving forward to be closer with one another.
