He did want to explain, but did Betty know what espers were? How would she take it? Or really, how would she react to him having a mechanical second form? When asked if she could put ice with her coffee, the boy only shrugged. [color=7F2A3C]"I-It isn't really. Some people prefer iced coffee. Haven't exactly tried any but who knows."[/color] He explained. Like Betty, the boy caught glimpse of a young girl(?)...exiting the men's restroom. Okay, as confused as he was, there had to be an explanation for it. Though some weren't exactly good, they didn't seem to have drugs or any sign of conflict. Were they an esper too? From what he gathered some esper forms can be drastic enough to change their age and gender. Seemed like the most likely case, but it didn't reassure Fable completely. Probably was some creep as far as he was concerned... He turned his attention back to Betty. The white-haired girl had offered to let him watch a bit of her performance. Guess his theory about her being the violin player was correct! Fable tilted his head when she mentioned having stage anxiety, and her mother. [color=7F2A3C]"Hey, stage fright is normal. I'm not judging on the other part too, just means you got a supportive mom. Er, not that I'm assuming anything!"[/color] He quickly clarified. Then she asked of his moniker. Before Fable could answer, he noticed the same feminine fellow they spotted approachingthemandgrabbingBetty'schair- [color=7F2A3C]"Eek-?!"[/color] Fable quickly reached out to stop Betty from going through the sudden portal, or to stop the other youth from portaling her away. A moment too slow. His eyes were left widened. Where the hell did they put her. Without moving a muscle he looked the the...duo?? That sat down in Betty's place. Mary didn't seem to acknowledge his presence or the fact that they put Betty between a rock and a hard place. Instead they spouted out some confusing stuff revolving gender and color. What. But for the far former, the puppet did. The puppet was alive. Atleast it seemed to be. But still. What. Despite his unamusement at Denny calling him handsome, he listened to their request. [color=7F2A3C][sub]"Ze, Zir...?"[/sub][/color] Despite his subtle confusion, atleast that cleared something up. But why would ze turn to him? Was it cause he was the only other kid in the diner? Or... Gah, whatever! The sooner this passes, the sooner he can go look for Betty! Fable looked back to Mary, figuring out what to say to zir. [color=7F2A3C]"Guess we're all having rough days, hm? You wanna talk about it?"[/color] He politely asked. However the boy casually stuffed a hand into his hoodie's pocket, where he carefully held his pocketwatch. Just in case. He couldn't let his guard down yet.
