She'd barely gotten to know Billy when he was there and when he was gone, she couldn't help but frown. I should have spoken up more, she thought to herself. Wishes are too little too late, aren't they. It sure seemed like since she'd arrived that she'd wanted to do... a lot of wishing.

Rinoa still didn't quite know where she fit in and being faced with solitude for however so long it would be granted to her, it was difficult not to feel a little lonely. A bit like an island. She wondered idly if Nida ever felt the same way. Perhaps not. At the end of the day, he was still a child of the Garden.

The day that Loki was to arrive, however, happened to be a fortuitous one, considering it kept Rinoa from falling too deep into that rabbit hole. She had been considering visiting the cafe, though it wasn't for work purpose, and instead she was greeted by someone... who was not Billy at all.

"Uhm," she began as she looked up. And... up and up. Because when next to one another, Rinoa was a decent bit smaller than... well. The new companion who certainly didn't look like he fit in. "...Hi!"

Sticking out her hand, she smiled brightly. "Are you lost? Can I help you find something? Someone maybe?"

"In chivalrous duty," Rinoa parroted, unable to keep herself from grinning. Maybe because his was so infectious. "Sounds like something a prince would say." She bounded past him, evidently more than a little excited for the opportunity to go out and about. Not that she couldn't go out on her own, but rather that she recollected Squall's preference that she not do such. At least until she had a weapon. Or maybe better control over her sorceress powers. Either way, Loki was just going to have to play bodyguard this time out.

Hopefully he wouldn't mind.

Just outside, she waited for him as she considered their options on where to go. "There's a cute variety of diners all over the city if you want to check one of them out. There's honestly more bars and cafes than there are restaurants. There's also a grocery store, which... is kind of useless to us both since we don't cook, but they probably have stuff there we can eat too." That wasn't raw, of course. "I'm going to guess the diner is our best bet."

After a moment, she paused, "I guess because you're a prince you might be used to really fancy things. If that's true, I have to warn you that the diners aren't fancy at all. I hope that's okay."

"Really? Imagine that." Rinoa was indeed a curiosity, but there was an energy about her he recognized. It may be new to her, but she desired something very similar to himself: acceptance. The longer he was in this place, which had so far been admittedly short, the more the reality of it was sinking in. He was trapped here, but when last he'd been aware he'd died at the hands of a monster, and now this?

And so, as he joined her outside, he was all smiles and flippancy, the perfect way to disguise anything untoward, and he laughed.

"The diner it is, then. I've already accepted slumming it." And he offers her an arm. "Shall we?"

She remained utterly oblivious to the thoughts whirling about in his head and though Rinoa tended to be an occasional good judge of character, even as she eyed him, she couldn't even make a remote intuition observation about him.

Yet most of her thoughts to do so went out proverbial window when she found him offering his arm. Brightening up, and completely unaccustomed to that kind of behaviour, she was immediately charmed. (Not that she'd ever been uncharmed since Loki had arrived, in truth.) With a distinct kind of pleasure, she loosely curled a slender arm about his.

"Yeah! Let's go~!"

...Maybe she was a little too happy.

Wrapping this here is good. Loki now has a love of bacon. :)
