Atari was at a loss for words as his eyes widened and mouth hung open. When he closed his mouth, he gulped real hard, feeling parched even though he just finished a whole water bottle. His lack of a reply was due to his inner struggle between accepting such an offer and refusing it. Convincing himself that it was not right to accept, he stuttered, "W-Why w-w-would I go and do that?!" Turning his gaze away, he rested his chin in the palm of his hand, which also covered part of his face. Even though he refused, the idea of Elizabeth changing and displaying herself for him alone made the boy heated.
In an attempt to preoccupy his mind with something else, he looked around the food court and noticed the time. He was about to say something, but he was still restless (and embarrassed) from their conversation.

She let out a small giggle at his response walking around the table she patted his head saying, “how about a compromise, take me out to just get one outfit and I’ll leave you alone about it, let’s say this Friday?” She didn’t have time to wait for a response as she noticed the clock her heart skipping a few beats as she started to panic. Going back to the other side of the table she grabbed her things in a hurry and yelled behind her at Atari, “you better hurry up I’m not going to be late because of you.”

He sighed at the girl's constant teasing. The color in his face returned to normal slightly as he watched her pack up her items for the next class. She was a few feet from the table as she yelled at him to hurry. Atari sighed again, picking up the empty dishes and placing them by one of the tray pick ups. Returning and grabbing his messenger bag, he hurried off after Elizabeth. Surprisingly, she did not run that far, and he caught up with her in no time. "You're always early. We won't be late," he said in a calm manner, looking forward as they headed to their next destination. As they walked, he glanced at her for a short time before staring straight ahead. For a few seconds, he wondered if he should reply to her earlier question. 'If I don't say anything, she'll get mad. And she said it's just one outfit... I guess it wouldn't hurt.' He turned his head again towards Elizabeth and cleared his throat. "About Friday... I'll go with you," said the young male who turned his gaze forward right after his reply.
They arrived at the classroom; its door was closed, but it wasn't locked. Atari took initiative to open the door for his companion and insisted that she enter first. At this motion, a few college students that saw the scene started to whisper. Some of the girls in class swooned at the sight, thinking how gentlemanly he was. Honestly, if they knew him, they would know that he wasn't really a gentleman to everyone.

She could feel her face go red as he held the door open for her, not expecting something so... chivalrous from him. She darted inside the door knowing they were getting stares she took a seat near the front thinking to herself, had she heard him correctly he agreed to go out with her on what practically could be called a date. Her mind racing with thoughts such as, "wait if he held the door for me, AND he wants to go out on a date now..." As Atari took a seat next to her she asked still a bit shocked, "did you really say you would go with me Friday?" Hoping she had not misheard him, and just wanting to hear it again.

Ignoring the stares and whispers were easy since they never bothered him. He followed Elizabeth and sat down beside her, not noticing her odd behavior. When she asked if he really agreed to go with her on Friday, he replied with a short, "Yeah." He didn't really think anything of it except for the obvious. Placing his messenger bag down, he settled into his seat and turned to look at Elizabeth out of curiosity. As if it was second nature, he gave her a charming smile that even impressed the rest of the classroom.
Within a few minutes, a young looking man barged into the classroom with a bunch of papers flying out of his hands. He looked quite disoriented as he struggled to pick up all the loose paper. After a good amount of class time passing by, the man finally relieved himself of his papers and bags at the desk and stood at the chalkboard. He introduced himself as the professor. Atari looked at him with amusement and surprisingly paid attention through the entire syllabus. Similar to their first class, this one ended prematurely. Everyone began packing their bags, putting away their syllabus, and exiting the classroom. Since Atari only received a syllabus, he carelessly shoved it into his bag and stood up, waiting for Elizabeth. "Where do you want to go? We have a few hours again since class ended really early."

Packing her stuff away she was excited for Friday, but in her excitement she felt he stomach grumble. She blushed a little and said, "I guess something to eat would be nice, my stomach seems to have forgotten your... meal." As she gathered her things and put carried her bag of things she tried to avoid any staring eyes from other people as Atari had opened the door for her again. As they made their way back to the food court and she ordered a plain burger she told him, "we could always go outside, it looks nice and sunny I know you like your cat naps." She looked at the bag holding her precious food trying to not let her stomach grumble again thinking Atari would jump at the chance to have another of his naps.

"That's a good idea. Go outside and find a spot. I'll come and find you," he stated, heading off somewhere. As he walked out, he bumped into someone familiar. Neither of them recalled how they knew each other and just briefly passed by with a short apology. The guy that he passed by was in a rush to meet up with his companion, a girl with long raven hair and a beautiful red dress. She scolded him, and before long, they had departed from sight. Atari had continued to walk to the refreshment stand and ordered a tea for himself and another drink for Elizabeth. It didn't take too long, and Atari walked outside to look for her. Spotting her underneath the shade of a tree, he hurried towards her and handed her the drink. "This spot looks great. We have some time, so I'll take a nap later. How's your work doing?" he asked, trying to make conversation. He took the chance to drink his tea while he awaited her response.

She took the extra drink from him thanking him. Taking a sip she smiled and said, "how did you know this was my favorite drink? And work... it's not so bad mostly ignoring lawyers arguing with each other over testimonies of a zombie. The worst part is when I revive them to well and they think they are still alive and want to go see their families." She ended it there still not comfortable with that fact taking another bite of her burger and putting the other half of it in the bag it came in to throw it away. Taking another sip of her drink she waited for his response watching as random people went about their business enjoying the sunlight and short classes.

Once he passed her the drink, she asked him an honest question. Atari answered her by saying, "I saw you order it a few times." He listened intently to her talk about work, still finding it very interesting that she could raise the dead to such an impressive state. When she stopped to put away her burger, Atari couldn't help but ask, "You're done?" He reached over to grab the bag out of her hand and took the remaining half of the burger out. In a couple of bites, he finished it and licked his fingers clean. He wiped his hand against his jeans to get that final sense of cleanliness (even though it wasn't really an efficient method). Readjusting his body so that he could lie on the ground instead of resting against the tree trunk (or Elizabeth), he stretched his arms and placed them behind his head as he slept on the ground. Although his eyes were closed, he was still not asleep yet.
Before he could sleep, some random guy approached them, trying to pick up Elizabeth. Her refusal only angered the annoying flirt, who turned out to be a combatant of the Seraphim tournament. Without a second thought, the guy declared, "Let's fight then!" At those fighting words, Atari quickly accepted it before Elizabeth could reply. Standing up with enthusiasm, his metallic claws shown in the sunlight readied for combat. The threatening look put off the challenger as he tried to weasel his way out of it by stating that, "You weren't the one I was challenging!" With an amused look on Atari's face as he cracked his knuckles, he replied to the statement in a matter-of-fact way. "You didn't say who you were challenging. Since I was right next to her, you could've been challenging me to fight. That doesn't really matter because the fight's been approved..." In a swift motion, he lunged forth past Elizabeth and collided with a flame blast. A bit of Atari's hair was singed, but he was fine for the most part. The fighting excited his blood more than it ever did, making him grin like a madman. He straightened himself and played with the tips of his hair. In a sarcastic tone, he said, "Ahh... you've really done it. I don't really want to cut my hair at all. Well, at least I know now. You're a fire mage." A light glimmer hanging around the mage's neck caught his eye. The other male noticed Atari's gaze at his trinket and quickly tried to hide it within his shirt. This made Atari chuckle, and without wasting anymore time, he sped towards the mage, dodging the fireballs thrown at him. One of the fireballs came close to his head, but fortunately, it was dispersed by a swipe of his glove. 'Honestly, this guy's magic is weak.' Atari punched the guy once he was close enough instead of using his claws to shred him. The mage flew a good distance away. The battle was mostly over, seeing as the mage was knocked unconscious. Picking up the trinket dangling around the guy's neck, he crushed it in his hands. In its place was a ring and his opponent's name. He pocketed it, and went back to Elizabeth.
Putting his gloves back into his waist bag, he picked up his messenger back and offered his hand towards Elizabeth. His expression returned to normal, and he seemed calm and collective. There might have been a hint of anger (or jealousy) towards the male flirting with his friend. "Let's go, Elizabeth," he stated, still offering his hand out to her.
OOC: I had decided that if you fell asleep by the time I posted this, I would add in a fight scene! Enjoy it!

Elizabeth frowned at him taking the remainder of her burger wondering just how much he could really eat had he not bet filled from his last meal she wondered. Her thoughts were soon interrupted when a boy approached her asking her out flattered she turned him down, which must of hurt the boys feelings before she knew it there were fireballs being thrown as Atari had jumped up and taken his challenge. One of the fireballs thrown about had not only Singed Atari’s hair, but had singed the edge of her dress she felt the heat as it had passed by her leg. It was over shortly after it had begun, waiting for the Serephim to restore their surroundings her dress was not fixed which really pissed her off.
She wanted very much to kick the boy several times picking up her things around her she took Atari’s hand holding on a bit tighter than she normally would trying to keep herself from running over and take her frustration out on the boy’s unconscious form. As her and Atari rounded a corner she leaned her back up against the building arms crossed trying to take steady breaths, trying to calm down, and not really sure why this incident was bugging her more than most incidents they came across. She growled out, “Is one normal day too much to ask for?” She didn’t want an answer.

As they turned the corner, Elizabeth had released his hand, thus causing him stop and turn around. Her entire aura burned with rage, and a comical sweat drop formed on Atari. It was at that point when he finally noticed the burnt part of her dress. He sighed again, scratching his head while he thought of what to say. Without much help from his thoughts, he tried to calm the girl down by saying that, "I'll pay for your outfit on Friday. It probably can't replace this one cause you said it was tailor made... but think of it as a gift. (And apology...)" The last part of it came as a whisper. Other than offering to cheer up the girl, he didn't mean anything else by it. "Anyway, let's go find a spot so I can nap before the next class," he exclaimed all of a sudden, grabbing the girl's hand again and leading her away.

Trying to relax she calmed down as they walked knowing she could just have the dress shortened a little more than she would prefer but would still me a decent dress. Letting out her frustration as they walked she talked to Atari, “you know it’s not just the dress, just lots of things, just this constant fighting...” She let the conversation get quiet until they found a place for Atari to nap, thinking of how he jumped up immediately to take on the challenge so she wouldn’t have to. She pat his head thinking he was asleep whispered, “thanks.” She relaxed letting her thoughts stray as she continued to pet his head.

Elizabeth did not struggle as he pulled her along to find another shady spot to rest under. She even allowed him to rest on her lap without complaint or embarrassment. It really did appear as if she was tired of the whole competition. As she pet his head, he thought to himself with his eyes shut, 'The only way for it to stop would be to lose your powers... but saying that to you... I don't even know how to start.' Atari knew that he could give her a way out. Should he even offer such an answer to his friend? He was lost in thought and forgot that he was resting on her lap. As he adjusted his arm, he brushed against her leg instead of placing it under his head. Confused, he opened his eyes to stare at the obstacle, massaging the area in his hand. His eyes went from Elizabeth's leg to her chest to her face before he realized that he was massaging her leg. "U-Uh..."

Distracted watching some birds fly around she slowly noticed after Atari had shifted he was moving around a lot. Looking down at him she blushed realizing his arm was slightly under her dress and he was massaging her thigh, bordering closely to her inner thigh. Meeting his eyes there was the awkward silence when he said, "u-uh..." She didn't know what to think, pushing her hands down pinching her dress between her thighs so he couldn't get any further, not wanting to make a scene she whispered harshly down at him, "what are you doing!" Her face crimson red hoping nobody around them had noticed.

He realized what he was doing, but he did not move his hand due to the initial shock caused by the realization. Frozen in that position, he heard Elizabeth whisper to him harshly. Immediately, he moved his hand and sat up beside her, looking away. His own face turned a deeper red than the color of his eyes. "S-Sorry about that... I-I forgot where I was... u-um... l-let's go to our next class!" Atari stuttered all over the place and even attempted to change the topic. He sat there obediently and waited for her to respond.
