Wiley makes loud clanking sounds with his glass.
"Could you please not?" Raez asked.
"No not," Wiley said.
Raez tries to see if Rai has extra headphones.
Offline
Dion was tempted to play music just for himself.
Offline
Dion should feel free to do so as long as it's not too loud or something.
The waiter comes around saying, "Here are your egg rolls and noodles!" He places all three dishes down, somehow where each person ordered them, and told Rai, "Sorry, your order will just take a little longer!"
"It's fine," Rai said with a slight smirk. "I can wait as long as one of the others doesn't finish quickly and try to steal from me."
The waiter glances at Wiley out of instinct before just slightly nodding, possibly not coughing for dramatic effect due to overall hygiene. "Got it! Thanks for your patience. Did you all need anything else, though?"
Offline
"Thank you," Dion said politely and smiled to the waiter.
Offline
He smiled back. "No problem!"
"I don't think we need anything else for now, but thanks," Rai said.
"Alrighty!" He shot a quick look at Wiley and Raez before just nodding. "Let any of us know if you need anything!" He took off again.

"Is this what restaurants in this sect are like?" He commented to the others. "The service is really good."
Offline
"I dunno, but it seems this restaurant doesn't lack in quality. By the way, think about what desserts you want, if any," Rai says.
"I'll...I'm good," Raez says, eying one eggroll like his last meal.
"I'll just add sugar to the water," Wiley declares, holding a packet up for emphasis. "Also, we all should go wash our hands. Mandatory."
Meanwhile, another waiter takes the menus politely but leaves one in the small book-like storage place next to the table's number card.

"I prefer hand sanitizer. About dessert, do you think they serve lemon ice cream?"
Offline
"Too bad," Wiley says, "you're gonna go wash your hands or you're not going to eat."
"Hand sanitizer isn't as effective as soap and water," Raez says, considerably in a gentler manner.
Offline
"Fine," he grumbled, but surprisingly, stood up to obey. "I'll be right back."
Offline
Rai gets out of the way to let him through. "You two can go with him. I'll look over the food."
"'Kay," Raez mutters, getting up. Wiley jumps up like there's a spring underneath him and takes off for the restroom.
He stops with a "Don't steal my noodles," before going off again.
Offline
"Lead the way; I don't know where to go now."
Offline
"Well, towards the curtain over there," Wiley said. "That's usually where Chinese restaurants have their restrooms. By the way, the person symbol with the triangular bottom is the men's restroom."
Rai's making small keysmashing noises in the distant background.
Offline
((my goodness--))
"Alright, I'll follow you."
Offline
"Nah, you gotta learn dependency. You find it first," Wiley said with all seriousness. "We'll follow."
While Raez has also never used for a Modern Sect restroom (or any public restroom, in all honesty), he's a bit more skeptical and it kind of shows on his face, but he's also uncertain. Downsides of being W.I.P.'s friend, you don't know if he's being actually helpful or pulling out all the bullcrap. In this case, he's pulling out the bullcrap.
Offline
Dion actually believed it. He followed Wiley's instructions, stopping at the entrance to check on the symbols.
Offline
Oh, how convenient, the "men's" restroom is the first one.
"There's only two sinks anyways," Wiley is saying to Raez, who is still doing a semi-skeptical squint at him but doesn't do anything otherwise. "Let's wait for him to finish first."
Offline
Dion went in to wash his hands as directed, He inspected the sink.
Offline
Well, the sink's a sink. There's a lot of soap in the dispenser. The soap actually smells quite nice. The water is automatic motion-sensory. There are no towels, just blow-dryers, and unlike other "men's" restrooms in malls, there aren't any chairs or whatever. Since it's the "men's" restroom, there are no urinals and stuff. Just the stalls. No one's in there.
(I typed "soap" as "soup" and fixed it last second o.O)
Offline
((soup dispensers in bathrooms-- gotta love those))
He played around with the soap for a couple seconds, mostly just enjoying the smell and feel of it. Don't really question how he washes his left hand--he knows how to do so.
Anyways, because he hasn't ever been to a mall or a place like that, he doesn't really see anything majorly wrong with the place.
Offline
The door creaks open sloooowwlyyyy.
Offline
Dion turned his head to see what was there.
Offline
One might not say so much as 'what' as 'who'. It's another person, with dim eyes and startlingly light hair, opening the door a bit and peeking in.
Well, that's not Wiley or Raez.
Offline
Dion looked back down at his hands and sped up his washing process.
Offline
(We stan Dion's handwashing skills)
Well, they're kinda standing there, not doing anything more than peering in, and in fact the door is slanting more towards closing.
Offline
He didn't feel very comfortable just being watched. Dion hurried to the blow-dryer in order to finish up his 'task'.
Offline
"...a..." They spoke. Actually they're a her, not a they. "...um..."
Offline
Dion pretended to ignore and moved his hands faster around the air in hopes that they would dry quicker.
Offline
Well, at least his escape route is blocked, since she has a death grip on the door.
Offline
He almost bit his lip, except that he couldn't really talk like that. "Excuse me... I need the door..."
