So it was as he'd expected. Rather empty and none too exciting. Well at least he wasn't alone in that place. He offered a smile in response. Wow, it's good thing you pointed it out. I might have missed it. He teased back, his eyes flickering from her and to the TV. Nothing of interest on. Though that wasn't anything new. He took a few more steps into the place, figuring she wasn't too crazy or anything to that effect. Besides, he was still hungry. Food could wait a moment. He hadn't felt so social and a while and he was going to take advantage. I'm Matt Might as well introduce himself rather than standing there looking like an idiot. Not that he didn't do that well enough. (NT) -- Matthew , Mon, Nov 22 2004, 8:03pm PST
