[i]"Mmph." Natalie sloppily tied her laces, then she was out the door.
She brought Star downstairs from the room and cut through the lobby, brushing her way towards a coffee shop in the downtown district of the city just a few blocks away. She ordered her usual (a French vanilla with a blueberry croissant) and exited the shop, sitting at a small table out front where she began to wolf down the food. [/i]

Star followed her all the way to the table and sat down on the other side of Nat with her own black coffee. "Now can you talk or are you still a zombie?"
-
[i]After a quick chug of her coffee and a rough placement on the table, Nat would gather herself once more. "Yeah... screw mornings." [/i]
-
"I can tell you're not a morning person..." Star giggled. "Cute. You remind me of a friend. He'd bash your head in if you tried speaking to him before he has had a cup of coffee."
-
[i]"You haven't met me on a Monday morning," Nat said in response. A light smoke arose from her hand, which was generating enough magical heat to keep her coffee scolding. "Tell me about this friend?" [/i]
-
"He's one of the fastest people I've ever seen. Bit hyper after he has had said coffee in the morning. Not like the cartoonish hyper, but the more energetic and go getter kind. He also may or may not have an extensive criminal record." Star sheepishly smiled. "A lot of my friends have records..."
-
[i]"You say that like I can judge them," Nat jokingly said. It was a statement loaded with truth, which could be easily discerned by the actions of yesterday. "I take it you know a lot of people who do awesome stuff often?" [/i]
-
"Awesome stuff? If that's what you want to call it....And yeah, I do. I know a lot of people like that. Despite being a goody toe shoes as they put it, I have done a few things myself." Star looked around before leaning in and whispering. "I j-walked a couple of times."
-
[i]"I think I need to call the police," she responded, a loud laugh joining her. She carried it for a few seconds and took a sip from her drink. "That can't be the worst thing you've done though, can it?" [/i]
-
Star got a bit uncomfortable and her face got real red as she sat back. "Uhh....I-I did one lil thing, but it wasn't what it seemed...." She sighed. "I'd rather not talk about it."
-
[i]"Awe, come on. I'll tell you something I did if you tell meee~" Natalie responded, her tone growing lighter and more friendly. She didn't know any Charm spells, though hopefully she could try to pry something out. [/i]
-
Star grinned a little, easily broken down by the pleading. "Fiiiine~. I slept with a judge during a tournement....I SWEAR I WASN'T CHEATING! He just...the lighting...that smile....ugh!" She slammed her face into the table and mumbled nonsense.
-
[i]"Ohoho, I like your style madam." Natalie chuckled in astonishment. She never would've thought Star would be the type to do something like that, despite only knowing her for a day. [/i]
-
"Thanks..." Star looked like she was about to cry, but hid it behind a smile. "That ruined my career."
-
[i]"Hey, at least you had fun, right? That's all that matters," Nat said, trying to help her hold back the tears as well as she could. [/i]
-
"He kicked me out with just a sheet into the hallway full of those camera people...no fun. Worst. Day. Of my life." Star sighed again and took another sip from her coffee. "So, what about you?"
-
[i]"Let's see - There's the time I stalked my ex to slash her tires, the time I ran into my other exes bathroom and hid there for a weekend, the time I hunted down my childhood dog on an aircraft carrier... There's a lot of bad stories." [/i]
-
"You sound like a questionable ex to have...." Star teased. "Happen to have another girl that may fall victim in the future to stalking?"
-
[i]"Not particularly, though I haven't been crossed by many of my exes, so it may happen one of these days." [/i]
-
Star suddenly began to snicker at seemingly nothing. "I just realized I attempted to flirt while looking like a homeless person. Good job, me."
-
[i]"Well, could've been way worse. You could be wearing a clown costume." [/i]
-
"True. If I was wearing my old sport armor the colors wouldn't be far off from a clown. All the sponsors covering the armor make me a walking parade."
-
[i]"You played sports?" [/i]
-
"Why do you think sleeping with a judge ruined my career? I did a lot of sports, most having something to do with shooting...I accel at shooting. I'm pretty famous for it."
-
[i]"And to think I was being flirted with by a marksman. That's basically like a princess and a knight, y'know," Nat jokingly responded, chugging the rest of her coffee. [/i]
-
Star pretended to be offended. "Wha-are you calling me a princess? There were a lot of physical sports that I won at, you know."
