[ Moving to a new city has its disadvantages. For one, it's her birthday today, but nobody -- aside from her family, but that didn't really count, did it? -- even knew.

She's trying hard not to mope, so Sayaka's bought herself a tiny slice of cake at a local bakery. But as she sits down in the quiet cafe area, she can't help but look just a little forlorn. It's just not the same without friends, after all... ]

[Well. Shirou can't help but notice the cute girl sitting nearby with a slice of cake, alone. He's never seen her before, so he surmises she must be a new customer. His "SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE" senses buzzing, he approaches.]

Hey. Want some company?

[untiltheveryend]

[ She looks slightly dazed as she stares up at him. For a moment, his words don't click completely.

Then they do.

And she doesn't want to seem depressing in front of a stranger, so she smiles brightly up at him. Shove her teenage angst under a carpet and forget about it; she's good at that... ]

Sure! I mean, if you'd like. There's a free seat.

[ Arms stretched out toward the chair across from her ]

[Man, depression was the reason why Shirou came over here. Even if there's no physical danger, he feels obligated to help someone in a negative emotional state.]

Of course. That's why I asked.

[He takes a seat.]

My name's Shirou. What's yours?

[untiltheveryend]

Sayaka.

[ A beat. Then she realizes it's probably rude to eat all by herself in front of him, so she pushes the cake over to the middle of the table. ]

Would you like some?

[wontdieifkilled]

It's nice to meet you, Sayaka.

Eh?

[He looks at the cake. The slice that she got was pretty small.]

Oh, no thanks. I don't want to deny you your own cake.
