After an entire evening of flitting all over the Arena like a butterfly on crack; Gabby?s mood finally plummetted into something resembling a bad mood, thanks to what she called ?negative energy? all over the place. Mostly it was due to a falling out between herself and King over something ridiculous. So, she chose to ask a total stranger to go have dinner with her since she thought King was ditching her.
---------------------------------
"Hey, dude...what's your name anyway?" Gabby inquired.
?I'm Rix. Sorry, thought you knew!? Holding his right hand out to her. ?Thought I heard you were Gabby??
"Well met, Rix. Yeah I'm Gabby. You hungry? I'm starvin' and can prolly eat an entire friggin' cow right now. Wanna go get a burger or somethin'?"After leaning over to shake his hand, she grabbed her bag off the floor as well as her bottle of rum and stood up.
?Sure! Though I'll have you know that they close buffets when I show up. I haven't figured out why.? As he hopped up. ?I tip well!?
G called out, "Hey Gab. Don't do anything you might regret later, 'kay?" Just helpful, friendly advice, having been like, paying attention.
"They usually stare at me like I am some sorta weirdo. I can eat a lot." She laughed a little then looked over to G. "I never regret eating." Not getting what he was hinting at since she had no ulterior motive; just plans to go eat and not do it alone now that King seemed to want to ditch her.
?A lot? What's a lot. I usually get like, 5 plates. I don't think that's a lot. But I'm still a growin' boy!? Rix exclaimed.
Gabby stared after King as she left then shook her head and looked back towards Rix. "I can eat that much! We should bet cupcakes on who can eat the most. I might surprise ya."
?Ooooh, that's an unfair deal. But you're on!? Grins as he starts for the door. ?We should hit up Penny's. There's usually some brawls or stabbin's there for entertainment.?
"You're still growin'? You are a friggin' giant, dude. Gawd what does your mama feed you anyway?"
A last lingering glance was given King as she walked up those stairs then she sighed heavily and just nodded at Rix. "Sounds fine. Brawls are hella fun to watch. Maybe we can get into one. I feel like hitting sh*t right now."
?Well, I feed myself. It's usually junk food. And milk.? Nodding, he was behind her but since he was so tall, could reach the door over her to open it first for her. ?Sure, I don't see why not! Winners eat free!?
"I can scrap if it means free food!" Why had she never heard of this place before?! "Thanks," she ticked a grin his way and moved through the open door. "Do they have biscuits? I love biscuits with honey. And lots of butter. I like gravy too and potatoes. Chicken fried steak and hamburgers. Chinese food...especially General Tso's chicken and eggrolls. And pasta...pasta rules. With marinara or alfredo sauce...actually, both...I don't wanna choose. Onion rings and crinkle fries....tater tots. Chili cheese fries....really, I will eat almost anything edible. Sometimes stuff that isn't edible too. Like once...I ate paste just because some kids dared me to do it. I like marshmallows too...a lot. I dip them in red food coloring so they will be pink. You said you liked pink Easter eggs...so maybe you'll like pink marshmallows too...." She continued to chatter randomly, allowing her anxious mind to release some steam because she felt like she was about to explode.
?Yeah, I think that's what they call the grand slam triple double touchdown goal hat trick special... and I think it has some inedible stuff in it too.? Nodding along to her chatter.
