CJ raised an eyebrow when he sat down beside her, shifting her gaze back to her own ice-cream as she nibbled on it, occasionally licking around the part where the ice-cream met the cone. She didn’t want it dropping onto her hands, though she knew it was inventible. When he spoke, her gaze shifted back to him; Nocturne. Interesting name. She gave a wry smile. “I’m CJ,” she said after he’d offered his own; CJ was her day-to-day name, and what most people knew her as, though she couldn’t remember the last time she’d used her full name. The thought tried to bring her down, but she shook it off, and instead raised an eyebrow again as Nocturne spoke about his adventure with ice-cream flavours.
“I haven’t tried the watermelon,” she said after a moment of thought. She couldn’t remember how she had even come to her current combination; only that once she’d tried it, it had stuck. She loved each of the individual flavours by themselves, but honestly, all together was a wonderful tastebud explosion. Perfect for cleansing the palate after some of the less tasty things she’d been exposed to.
“Its not really a favourite of mine, though. And banana is gross.” That counted as conversation, right? CJ wasn’t sure, and her awkwardness was shining through with the unfamiliar terrain. She didn’t really talk to many people, and when she did, it was normally surrounded by sex; before sex… during sex… after sex… She wasn’t sure how to navigate the current situation.
