Lunch Break (Open)

[Leon Regaros]

Leon had been a bit confused with how things were going on considering the botched job a few weeks back.  He made his way down the side walk, casually making his way through the crowds of people who were walking through the sidewalks of the city.  He wore his usual almost business like attire of the blue button down dress shirt that has a black dress vest over it.  The blue shirt was tucked into his black slacks, which he wore a black leather belt around his waist, to which he fashioned a make shift way to hang the device from it so he could keep an eye on it at all times.  Slung over his shoulder was a gray and red messenger bag, and it rested against the side of his waist.  The top flap would move some as a small yellow creature tried to peak out from inside to gaze at the world outside.  Hearing a small charm rattle from the bag, he looked down quickly and spoke in a hushed tone.

"Careful, Rias.  We don't need you being seen in a crowd like this," He said quitely, adjusting the flap to make sure she was hidden from sight.

A small growl of discontent came from the back as she tried to rustle the flap away momentarily.  Looking up at him with a small yawn and slightly opening her eyes to gaze up at with pleading blue eyes. "But I'm hungry and I can smell food.  Can't we get something to eat?  Please?" She said in a hushed voice so as to not bring too much attention.


Giving a small smile, he couldn't help but shake his head lightly as he thought it over.  "Fine," he said glanced across the street and saw a local deli and sandwich shop.  Ever since Rias mentioned it, food was starting to sound pretty good.  Considering it was only noon and he didn't eat anything that morning before heading out. Reaching up with his right hand to brush back some of his loose falling hair, giving his head a slight tilt.  This caused his neck to pop a bit.  "Then how about a sandwich?  I hear they make pretty good food."


Hearing this idea, Rias couldn't help but begin wagging her tail inside the bag.  It was only slightly obvious from the outside of the bag, but you could hear the impact of her tail against the canvas of the bag.  She didn't even have to say it as her answer was pretty apparent from her wagging.  "Yeah!  That sounds good!" she joyfully answered from inside the bag.


"Okay, that's lunch then," he said and gave a small chuckle.  Resting his hand against the bag to let her know that she needed to remain quiet while he got food.  "Not a word, okay?  I'll get us food and find us a place to enjoy our lunch." Without further word, he began walking down towards the cross walk and waited along with the crowd of people who were waiting for the signal to give them the okay to cross the street safely."

After waiting patiently, the signal changed and began giving off it's signal chirping. As the crowd began to move around him, almost like a river, he moved along with it, staying within the crowd as he made his way passing the line of vehicles that sat waiting for the people to finish crossing.  He pulled out his phone to make it seem like he was making a phone call.  He knew well that he couldn't talk to Rias openly with all those people around.  "Hey, how about we go to a park after we pick up lunch?" he asked, his question directed to Rias as he finally stepped up onto the sidewalk, turning towards the direction of the deli.


She gave a sound of approval, wagging her tail inside the bag as she kept her voice down.  "That sounds good.  Maybe I can get out of this bag for a bit then?" She asked eagerly, wanting out of the bag and to have her freedom back.


"We shall see," he said as he gave a small smile and made it look like he hung up the phone.  He continued down the sidewalk for a few more feet before turning to place his hand on the door of the shop, glancing around quickly to assess who was inside to see if there would be any trouble or if he could get his food peacefully.  He would then push open the door, hearing a ring come from a bell that was placed above the door, meant to announce the arrival and departure of customers.  The guy behind the counter looked up and asked him what he would like, but feeling unsure he looked up at the menu they had on display.  


"Uhm... I'll get two of the italian specials, on wheat please," he responded after it caught his eye.  He began fumbling into his pocket to pull out the money to pay for the food.  Placing just slightly over the amount that was due onto the counter, plus a bit extra to cover a tip.  "Use the rest for a tip, okay?" He said as he made his away to the side some to wait for the sandwiches to be ready, and for the next person in line to order.

During all of this, Rias was inside the bag, wagging her tail as she could already smell the food.  She was beginning to drool a bit as she was eagerly waiting.
