Outside Luke's diner (lunchtime)

Paige stood outside the diner waiting for Boone, she hoped he'd not forgotten, she was looking forward to catching up with him and she only had an hour.

She was looking forward to spending a little time with him out of classes, they'd not done that in a while.

((feel free to use this post for any diner stuff and Boone mun I'm about til 8pm EST so whenever you're ready))

"Hey," Boone greeted easily as he approached, shivering slightly - his well-loved jacket was comfortable and familiar, but not good against the late November chill.

Paige smiled when she saw him, she knew he'd not let her down, unlike other men she could mention.

"Let's get inside, I don't want you catching cold,"

As she opened the door she turned to him, "here's okay right? Deb's isn't open and I'm...kinda barred anyway,"

"It's great," he answered, unable to keep the note of mirth out of his voice. "How'd you get kicked out Deb's?"

"erm long story, but the short version...evil soul, posession, you know the usual!" she smiled, "well usual for here anyway."

She walked towards the tables but decided on a booth instead, just so they could talk a little more privately, no really!

"I figured it'd be quieter here," she tells him as she slides into a seat.

"It's nice here," he commented, sitting across from her. "I've never been here before, actually." He grinned at the warmth of the diner, shrugging out of his jacket.

"I've been here once," she says pausing dramatically, "with Beethoven" she shakes her head laughing a little, "I've dated Geoff Chaucer and had dinner with Beethoven, this place is just the weirdest place ever."

She pulls out a menu just as a waitress comes past to tak their orders, "I'll take a diet coke," she says turning to looking at Boone

"Pepsi," he added, meeting her eyes impishly.

She glanced at the menu turning away from his gaze, it felt worrying right, she took a deep breath before looking at him over it.

"So what are your plans for thanksgiving?" she asks, this was clearly a leading question, she wanted to spend it with the people she cared about most, Maia would be there, but she has no idea about Sawyer.

"I don't have any," he answered, glancing at the menu, though his piercing blue gaze lingered on her for a moment more.

"You wanna come to a friend's friends for dinner? That's what I'm doing. I'd like it if you came."

She bites her lip and looks down a little, "I'm not sure if Sawyer'll be there or not, I don't even know if he's staying,"

"Sure, that sounds better than instant ramen alone." He grinned, "Might anyone else I know be there?"

Paige shrugs "I dunno, I'm not sure who's going other than me and Maia, I think most of people are going to the hotel, but this just sounded more...cosy, I guess."

She looks down at her menu again, "Any thing catch your eye?" she asks as she reads the list of salads

"I don't know," he shrugged. "I'll probably end up just getting a cheeseburger." He smiled slightly. "What about you?"

"I'm thinking maybe the caeser salad, I've been bingeing of ice cream a little, so I figure salads my best bet," she look at him with a slight frown, "we'll just ignore the really fatten dressing okay?"

"But if we ignore I'll have nothing to tease you about," he pointed out, grinning.

Paige laughed and put the menu back, "yeah okay good point." holds up her hands "come on then I'm fair game, there's probably actually more calories in the salad than the burger, but I'm having a diet coke, so you know it even's out right?"

"Still, Pepsi always wins against Coke." He countered, eyes bright.

She nods "yeah I'll give you that, diet Pepsi just doesn't have the same ring to it though does it?" she smirks a little as the waitress comes over with their drinks, she orders the salad and starts to stir the ice around in her glass.

He gave her a wary glance, "You're not going to take all of the ice out, except for three ice cubes, then slowly stir in Splenta are you?" He regarded a packet of the artificial sweetener with disdain.

Paige raised an eyebrow, but smiled "I wasn't planning on it, no, I just get a fidgety sometimes. I'll stop now," she told him sucking the diet coke through the straw.

"It's all right," he reassured, taking a sip of his Pepsi. "It's just my sister used to do that with her iced tea, no matter where she was, and it would drive me insane." He grinned slightly at the memory.

She nodded, she'd never met his sister, but didn't like the sound of her much, she'd clearly used Boone most of his life. "oh right okay."

She cokced her head at him a little, "so how are you anyway?"

"I've been pretty good," he murmured, looking into his drink. "How are things with Sawyer?"

Paige sighs, she was getting used to hearing him being referred to as this, but she was just upset about stuff right now. "I'm not sure I think he might be mad at me cos I want to protect him from...stuff"

She looks up, "and I've been having nightmares about stuff happening to him."

((have to go to bed about now and we pick up tomorrow?))
