Hey... I, uh... I like this place too... for... for drawing.
Oh hi! I didn’t notice you there, sorry if I made you uncomfortable
No no, it's fine, I-I'm used to being alone... avoids eye contact
Well you’re not alone anymore
S-so, um, do you... draw here often?
Yeah pretty often, I come here whenever I need to get away from everything else going on. The drawings aren’t really important to me as much as this place is.
H-huh? Really? This place... is s-special to you too?
Yep, it’s kinda my haven. Whats your name? extends a hand for a handshake
takes TaWacky's hand and shakes it softly R-Raven. That's my name... Nice to meet you... T-TaWacky, right?
So... um... w-what do you usually d-draw here?
Whatevers on my mind honestly, today its these old rusty rides. They stand so still and quiet like they’ve seen so much but now tell their stories quietly to the wind. Do you paint or draw too?
Um... n-not really... I mean, I can try... nervous chuckle But I'm not very good... I'm more of a... uh... bike guy...
Is that so? I bet you got some cool stories though. Some maybe even funnier than the rides.
Um... funny stories? Me? Uh... I guess... sometimes... I mean, I have my moments, I guess... looks down, fidgets with a wrench from his pocket
How come every time you stutter your voice drops an octave? Your cute by the way blushes
blushes harder, stammers Th-thank you... y-you're c-cute too... mumbles, looking away
Cute pokes Ravens cheek, what would you say to grabbing lunch sometime?
Lunch? With me? Uh... sure, why not... I mean, yeah, lunch sounds good... stutters Where do you want to go?
You ever been to Tim Hortons?
Tim Hortons? N-no, I've never been there... B-but if you go there often, then I'd love to... um... g-go there with you... stutters
Great! Well also be my plus one for prom, will you go with me?
Prom?! With m-me? Y-you serious? eyes widen in disbelief
gulps nervously W-well, I mean... I've never been to prom before... But... I guess... I'd love to go with y-you... If... If that's okay...
Of course it’s ok. I’d love to go with you. You wanna head out to that little parking lot next to the school? There’s a small diner there
smiles brightly That sounds perfect. Let's go. Lead the way, TaWacky.
Ok starts walking with raven following closely You know all those restaurants near school? And some even farther, their Chinese food, sushi, etc? All my mom’s cooking
curiously Wow, your mom's cooking sounds amazing! Can I try some one day?
Of course, anytime. Now I know theres probably a bunch of things you wanna ask me about since your a curious guy, shoot!
Um... actually... there's something I've always wondered about... W-what's your favorite place to ride your bike?
By far my favorite place is down by the shore on the coastal trail, the ocean breeze on your face while driving through forests near the ocean? Theres nothing better
That sounds absolutely incredible! I've never been to the shore before... but maybe someday, I'll get to experience that with you...
Hey, have you taken a ride along the Trans-Canada Highway during sunset? The colors are so vivid, reds and oranges and yellows. Just try to not look down into the valleys and look forward into the horizon
nods eagerly No, I haven't, but it sounds breathtaking. Maybe you could teach me how to ride a motorcycle someday?
Sure, when do you wanna go for a ride?
H-how about this Saturday? We could meet up early in the morning and go for a long ride together. What do you think?
