[h1]Lunch Time[/h1]
[b]"Alright, now you just apply remainder theorem here to factorise."[/b] Alto said as his teeth crunched into his taco, the sauces dripping into his mouth as he chewed. Sal was demolishing a pile of pancakes as she sat next to him, having lost interest in Sefia's homework quite a while ago; Sefia sat directly across from him, staring at him with a dubious expression on her face; and Con was sitting beside here sipping her drink while looking whimsically out the window as always. [b]"Oh come on now,"[/b] Alto said, [b]"This is only my third taco."[/b]

They were at a restaurant that had opened recently, it sold mostly breakfast food but had some nice lunch options. He needed to help Sefia with some of her homework, the place had some nice tables, and he was feeling tacos, so off they went.

[b][color=orangered]"...Don't you have a meeting right now?"[/color][/b] She said, hand still hovering over her page.

[b]"Nah, I got Theo taking care of it."[/b] He said, shoving the rest of his taco into his mouth. He chewed thoroughly, savouring the delicious taco, before picking up another one from his plate as he swallowed his mouthful. [b]"We both act the same during company meetings and he knows everything I do so he may as well be me. During company meetings anyway."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"...Right."[/color][/b] She returned to her work, but he could tell she was still distracted. Suddenly, he heard a [i]clang![/i] next to him as Sal dropped her eating utensils with a sigh of relief.

[b][color=orange]"Done!"[/color][/b] She exclaimed loudly, throwing herself back into her seat with a [i]thwump![/i]

[b]"Oh, nice job."[/b] Alto said, high-fiving Sal as he bit into his taco again, [b]"Ten pancakes by yourself."[/b]

Con sighed as she stared, she was doing that more often recently. Sefia was looking up at him again, mouth curved into a slightly perplexed  frown. Perhaps now would be a good time to ask a question that he had been curious about for a while now.

[b]"You know,"[/b] He said, crunching on his taco, [b]"I've never seen you smile before, is that just how you are or do you only never smile when I'm around?"[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Well...[/color][/b] She seemed to regard the question for a few seconds. Her eyes narrowed as she stared off into space, and he could see her eyebrows curving inwards to an angrier expression as she thought about it more.

[b]"Yeah, alright, nevermind then."[/b] He said quickly, finishing off his second taco.

Sefia went back to her work, still with the angry expression. He turned as he picked up another taco only to see Sal regarding them with a sparkle in her eyes.

[b]"What?"[/b] He asked as he began to eat his last taco.

[b][color=orange]"Oh, nothing."[/color][/b] She replied.

Alto looked back the other way, there really wasn't many places to stare off into space as he ate his taco.

[i]I wonder how Theo's doing?[/i] He thought.
