[OPEN] Silence, Soul...Solitude?

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance scoffed. "Tj and Tk." He shook his head in amusement, standing. "Food huh?" He hadn't eaten. Food or blood, licked at his lips.

"Well c'mon." He rubbed at his throat, clearing it again as he led her back to the truck and offered her a hand up into the passengers seat.

Climbing in on the other side, he revved the thing ti life, taking another swallow of water and tossing his towel in the back.

He pulled out, turning the monster smoothly and heading tiwards the nearest food joint in silence.

Taaron gave a nod at his last words, before following him to the truck. Hesitantly, she took his hand and hopped in the truck. In comparison, she looked like a tiny bug. No bothering to fasten her seatbel, her eyes glanced to Tj before starring out the window absent mindedly. Many thoughts running through her head.

Her pupils moved side to side as she looked up and down the street with the movement of the trunk. Then the movement stopped, her head turning quickly to see that they had pulled into a parking spot. Without waiting for Tj to get out of the trunk, she pushed the door open, and hoped down, landing lightly on the ground. Gymnastics did come in handy Tk smirked, walking around the truck to Tj's side.

"Not much of a talker, are you?" She asked looking up at him as the began to walk toward the door of the food place.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance decided he may as well grab something to eat while he was here. "Not since..some shit happened." He shrugged. "Not who I used to be." Biting his lip some, he honeastly didn't care if she wanted to be left alone, ordered a cheap meal, murmured to the woman that he would pay for the girl behind him, and slid his credit card her way, telling her to just put it on his tray of food before he left to go fill his cup with soda.

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

Taaron nodded, listening to the guy not go in to detail. Oh well, she didn't want to hear his life story anyway. She sighed, and stepped up, looking at the menu. "Um.. just give whatever number four is.." Her hand went to her jacket pocket, pulling out her wallet, but the waitress stopped her and said the man had paid. She rolled her eyes, and looked toward Tj. "I have money, you know."

She took the cup from the woman, and walked over to where the drink machine was. A buzzing sound rang into the air as she filled it up with ice and then switched to a single countainer to put sweet tea in her cup. Plucking a straw from the pile, she ripped the plastic off and slipped it in her drink. Tk walked over and took a seat at a booth that was close to the front counter. Her eyes starring down at her drink as she stirred the ice around with her straw.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance glanced over at her. "And?" He chuckled. His order was called and he headed back for the counter, pulling his wallet out to put his credit card back inside, pocketing it again. Balancing his soda precariously on the tray with everything else, he dropped down on the other side of the table, then, with a mocking accent, raised an eyebrow in challenge. "'ello miss, do you mind if I sit my fine ass 'ere wit' you?"

A playful smile passed his lips, and he realized he hadn't acted like that since...well, since the incident actually. It felt good, trying to be himself again for once instead of so quiet.

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

Her head perked up as her order was called. Her eyes glanced toward Tj as he spoke. A giggle slipped passed as he called himself fine. He was indeed fine. "Oh, I would be honored." Taaron gave a smirk, and scooted her sit back. Walking toward the counter, she grabbed the trey and thanked the woman before returning to her seat across from Terrance. "Thanks for the free meal." She scooted the trey around the table for a bit, before picking up a fry and eating it.

She felt like asking him, why he even wanted to be seen with her. Most guys of his 'standards' acted as if she was invisible, especially since she dropped out. "So, what year of college are you in?" She asked, not sure of what else to say except for something he migh mistake as a rude question.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

"Ah," He paused, swallowing a gulp of soda. "Only part time sophomore. When..my mom died, my father became real alcoholic. I forgot college to help him out then started when he was a bit better. Uh, I ended up in the hospital a few months ago, put my money towards fees for that, fell behind further in college." He shrugged a bit.

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

"Well, aren't you just a sweetie," Taaron laughed lightly, but she meant it. It was nice of him to take care of his father like that. A small frown wiped across her face as she thought about her family.. How much hell it was at times. "I dropped out of high school." She began, "But I got my G.E.D and I start at the college in the fall." She wondered if that would make him change his impression of her, for most people it did.

But most people judged her on her looks, and then thought worse of her when she told them she was a drop out. "You know back at the field.. What was your first impression? Just wondering." Studying people seemed to be a habit of hers. It was fun to her. She wanted to know as much about people as she could, even if most got on her nerves.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

"Yeah," He scoffed. "He wasn't." He rubbed a his scarred chest absently through the shirt, eating quietly as he listened. A faint smile passed his lips. "Cool you're tryina get back into the motion of things. Something that's hard as hell to do." Nodding absently, he shrugged, then laughed softly.

"Dread," He complained. "I didn't want to talk to anybody." He shrugged. "Don't judge people much, honestly. I hate being judge for my looks." He frowned at the words, she didn't know about the scars. "About my past. So I shouldn't look for such flaws in others, hm?"

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

"School just wasn't for me at the time," Tk smiled. Her eyes surveyed his face, watching the muscles underneath his skin tighten and loosen as his expression changed from one to another. She had an interest in people, and why they acted the way they do, but she wasn't to fond of them. "No, but that doesn't mean you don't." she shrugged, acceptingly.

Picking up a napkin, she dusted her hands free from crumbs and placed the folded napkin on the plate before pushing it away. "It's human nature.. almost seems like a reflex. I judge people by their looks.." Taaron paused, her eyes switching from him to the table, "But I give them a chance to show me who they are."

"Thanks for the ride and everything," She didn't exavtly remember if she had already said thanks, but it never hurt to say it again. Chewing on her lip, Taaron looked up from the table top. A small smile crossed her lips as her gaze conected with Terance's eyes for a few seconds.
