Shin didn't have to wait long, as Reimi showed up not too long after having finished what he was typing, [color=lightblue]"I haven't been here long, actually. I only just got my drink moments ago."[/color] he replied. He noticed her stuttering, apparently he had accidentally flustered her in some way. He tended to do that to her quite frequently, perhaps it was the way he worded things? That was most likely it, after all, she didn't exactly speak like everyone else did. Her speech was formal, and he knew it threw others off. He heard what they called her behind her back, when they thought she had no friends at all. She was ostracized by her peers, her juniors avoided her, and the entire school called her Robot Girl. It sickened Shin that people could be so cruel, but then again, that was probably why he approached her in the first place; they were both alike in some way. Sure, he was popular among the junior girls, everyone knew that. But he never associated himself with any of them, always preferring to sit alone and keep to himself. Of course, just like Reimi, he had been ostracized. However, his was different, those who used to be his peers now look at him with disgust. It was 'her' fault, 'she' spread lies about him, and like hungry savages, his former friends gobbled it all up and believed every word. Trust. That was a big thing now for Shin. [color=lightblue]"Yeah, go ahead and order."[/color] he said, giving the girl a genuine smile.

While he let her order, he reached into his pocket, his mind going over what he had typed. He wasn't about to connect to the net, and saying it out loud...well, one of their classmates might show up and overhear them. That was the last thing he wanted. He'd rather continue receiving the looks he got, than to have someone interject and fill Reimi's head with lies about him. No, she was the one friend he would protect from their influence. Once Reimi had her tea, he slowly pulled out his cord and set it on the table, [color=lightblue]"I...don't want someone overhearing our conversation...so I brought this."[/color] he said, his face turning a little red. It was embarrassing to even say something like that; everyone knew two people using a cord in a cafe like this were assumed to be a couple, even if that weren't the case, which it wasn't in the case of Shin and Reimi. [color=lightblue]"D-don't get the wr-wrong idea, I just...there's something I want t-to send you, b-but I'm not comfortable c-connecting t-to the internet h-here. I-it's in relation t-to what w-we'll be t-talking about..."[/color] he stuttered. He needed to get a grip and quickly, otherwise he was likely going to start freaking out Reimi...if she wasn't freaking out already.
