She was silent as she stepped inside. The rain was beating her, and beating her hard. She had naught but a messenger bag, and her jacket. No umbrella, and it wasn't hard to tell that she'd likely be soaked beneath the denim jacket she wore. She sighed lightly before looking outside again, not wanting to head out there. She knew she wouldn't be able to wait out the rain though.

Sure enough, a couple minutes later, one of the employees approached her.

"I'm sorry miss, but you can't stay here unless you're ordering something." They told her. She sighed and nodded.

"All right." She said, obviously not the most impressed by it, but understanding the reasoning. She approached the location to order, looking over their menu, before placing an order. Or ... at least trying to. When her card was declined for the payment, she sighed, changed it to something far smaller (a muffin) and paid with what little cash she happened to have on her at the time. With her muffin in hand, she made her way over to where she could sit.

Taking a seat, she realised she didn't have long in there, only about twenty minutes, before they would be ushering her out. She'd take what she could get for the moment, at least. If nothing else, she was out of the weather for a few minutes.

As she sat down though, the one across the way got a good look at her face, and how thin it was.

The one that was there was silent... taking in what he saw.

He was a thin person, himself, but his face wasn't nearly as thin as this girl's. It looked... almost unhealthy.

He then sighed, and made his way to the front cash. He looked at the menu, before one of the staff approached him.

"Can I help you, sir?" they asked.

"Yeah." he replied.

"Could I get the Chicken Ceasar Wrap with a side of sweet potato fries, the spicy mayo for a dipping sauce, and a bottle of water?" he asked. "And deliver it to the young lady with the muffin." he finished.

After paying, he went and sat back down, looking at her again, and then outside.

The rain was pounding down, and it didn't look like it was going to be letting up anytime soon. He loved this kind of weather, but he could tell that SHE probably wasn't enjoying it very much, given her clothing.

'Wonder how this'll go...' he then thought, taking a drink of the coffee that he had.

As the order was brought to her, she just sighed lightly.

"Thank you." She said to the one who brought it out to her, knowing that she really couldn't do anything. It was b ought and paid for, and obviously the one who had gone up there - as she could see the till - didn't want it.

She looked over to him, nodded her thanks, before almost hesitantly starting to eat some of it. She was hungry, but she also hurt. There was hope in her being able to stomach the entire meal for the moment, and she knew that. So she'd eat what she could and hopefully be able to take it back to her dorm.

The man raised an eyebrow for a moment when he saw that.

'Eh?' he thought.

'Wait a minute...' he then thought further, seeing very slight tinges and twitches.

"...is she... in pain...?" he wondered aloud, but barely above a whisper.

He then sighed and looked at the worsening weather once more, before getting up and making his way over.

"Ah, hello there." he greeted.

"Pardon me for potentially being too forward or sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but are you all right, young lady?' he asked her.

She sighed as he approached and said what he did. She just motioned for him to take a seat.

"I'll survive." was he ranswer.

"And thank you." She added. "I really do appreciate it. What can I do in return for your kindness?" She asked, ehr voice curious, level, and calm. he could still pick up on the pain though.

It almost seemed like this was par for the course.

"Ah, I'm not expecting anything in return." he responded.

"It's all right, really." he said.

"Though, I AM curious..." he went on.

"You look like you've been out in this weather for a bit, and you don't have the proper protection." he continued.

"Can I help you get someplace?" he asked.

"Whether I give you a lift, call a cab for you, or even supply you with bus fare?' he offered further.

"Nobody should be out in this downpour without proper clothing. Not for long periods, anyway."

She just sighed lightly.

"I know." She said, agreeing with his comment about how she shouldn't be in the downpour.

"I'm not going anywhere specific for the moment, though." She added.

"I'm more just ... wandering. Trying to avoid going back to school." She said with a shrug. That was something that, in theory, wasn't odd. Someone avoiding school and all.

The man just smiled.

"Ah, yes." he responded.

"School can be hell." he commented.

"Just gotta grin and bear it sometimes, though." he continued.

"But you sure you're all right?" he asked.

"Forgive me if I overstep boundaries, but you look rather tired." he told her, understating it massively.

"Almost to the point you seem a bit weak."

"Well, that happens." She commented.

"I'm not sleeping the best due to my studies." She continued before sighing.

"My professor is really anal and it's taking its toll." She added, hoping that he would believe her well enough. It wasn't entirely a lie, but it also was.

"Ahhh, I see." he responded.

"Well, I might know of some places that you can go, that won't force you out after 20 minutes, or require you buy something." he told her.

"I know school can be hard, been through it myself." he then chuckled.

"If you need something like that, let me know if you're open to options." he offered.

"Some of 'em can be pretty quiet as well, good for studying and working."

"That... is definitely good to know." She said after a moment or two.

"I would appreciate knowing where I can go to study, if you would be so kind." She added.

"A brief reprieve from the hell I endure back at my dorm would be lovely."

He was about to respond, when he paused suddenly.

"Hell at your dorm?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked her.

He then looked around, before looking back at her.

"Also, mind if I take a seat?" he then inquired.

"The staff here might hassle you less if it looks like you're here with someone." he reasoned.

She just motioned for him to take the seat he requested.

"Yeah. I'm... Not the popular kid in school." She told him simply and honestly.

"And young adults with money can be... Absoktelg horrible people."

He felt a wave of anger wash over him, but he kept it quiet, and managed to keep his expression unchanged.

"...indeed." he muttered.

"Hm." he then mumbled.

"Where DO you go to school, anyway?" he asked.

"And what are you studying for?" he asked further.

He hated people, that much was true, but he felt like someone trying their best, with the talent and perseverance to succeed, deserved to succeed.

She just sighed, not answering him for a couple of minutes. She was weighing whether it jot it would be such a good idea to tell him tht information, but in the end decided it'd do no harm.

"Harvard." She told him honestly.

"law."

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"Oh, wow." he said.

"Good for you. That's a hell of a program." he commented.

He then paused for a moment, before shaking his head.

"And I realise I haven't even introduced myself." he said.

"Rene Calder." he then said, proceeding to correct that little 'slip-up'.

"Kalin Kiczys." She responded with after a couple of seconds, and with a soft smile.

"And yes. It really is, as you put it, a hell of a program. I am thoroughly enjoying it. My classmates on the other hand, I am not."

Rene paused when he heard that,

"Kiczys?" he asked.

"That... sounds familiar..." he mumbled.

"Regardless, why are your classmates so hellish towards you?" he asked her.

"Surely they're there to graduate, like you?" he went on.

"Especially since it's Harvard, and their Law program."

Kalin just sighed, again.

"They don't like an eighteen year old coming and up staging them." She answered honestly.

"it's primarily because I'm younger than they are that they don't like me. I've heard it said that if they want to let highschool ears into the school, then they will act like it's a highschool"

Rene just growled lightly.

"I see." he said.

"And what of your professors? The school administration?" he asked.

"Surely they have an issue with their students behaving in such a way." he reasoned.

"Their reputation is everything, after all."
