Namine had gone out without Zidane. She wanted to see everything this new world had to offer. She couldn't do it if he was hovering over her like a cloud. That being said, she didn't stray far. She had gone to a shop, finding herself in a tea shop. She liked the warm substance. She wondered if they had it on Gaia before it was destroyed. She held the small cup in her hands, relishing in the warmth of the cup against her skin.

Jack had just finished to inspect one of the many district of the Lower city, if just the lower part was so big he didn't want to think how big the upper one would be! It took a whole morning to see just one district and it was getting hotter, too much hotter for him to be able to continue his search. Moving his look around Jack spotted a tea shop, the only place in the area where he could sit and have some rest. Even if he wasn't fond for tea especially hot tea his sore feet were asking for a break and even him couldn't continue without a little refreshment.
Sitting down in a table in the shade, Jack ordered some tea moving his look on the shop's guests. Not a lot of people actually but still some interesting faces. Once his tea arrived Jack touched the cup, freezing it immediately and making cold almost frozen the liquid in it. "Much better.." he chuckled taking the cup with one hand and playing with some frozen tea cubes.

Namine curiously looked over at the boy who sat in the shade. She blinked in surprise when she realized his drink was no longer warm but freezing cold. She glanced down at her drink. Was she drinking it wrong? She liked it warm though. She set her cup down on the table and quickly averted her eyes so he didn't catch her looking his way.

Jack was taking a sip of his tea when a girl caught his attention: she seemed really interested in his tea, moving her look from her cup to his. Jack couldn't help but smile to himself: couldn't she tell the difference between hot and cold? Or maybe she wanted frozen tea too? Shaking his head sightly Jack placed the cup on the table, moving his look to the girl who had just moved her gaze away from him. "Do you need something?" he smirked at her laying his head on a hand.

Namine quickly looked back at him, alarmed that he had spoken to her. "N-No. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude." she said quickly. Maybe this was why Zidane had been so worried about letting her socialize with others, she mused. She couldn't even string a sentence together without sounding like an idiot.

Jack smirked again at her reaction, he caught her off guard! Still with a smirk on his lips, Jack called her again "You're not being rude and I don't bite!" he chuckled "Wanna have a chat, blondie?" he tilted his head observing her from his table. It seemed forever since the last time he had so much fun teasing someone! He was still a bit rusty after all, concentrating most of his energies looking for his sister and leaving not a lot of time for some fun!

Namine smoothed some hair back behind her ear. A nervous tick that she hadn't realized that she had developed in her few months. She still kept her gaze down, this time focusing only on her cup. "I-I don't know." she said softly. Namine didn't understand why he would want to talk with her, or why he was smiling. Feelings were all so very confusing.

Jack tilted his head as the girl replied, undecided about what to do. He sighed, always up to him do the first move! But if he wanted to have some fun, that was the price! Taking his staff with a hand and the cup with the other he moved to her table, sitting in front of her. "Hi." he waved his hand "I saw that you were looking at my cup, don't you like hot tea?" he asked pointing at her cup.

"W-What? N-No... I like it j-just fine." Namine said. "But... Yours is cold. Is that how it's supposed to be?" She did lose her stammer the more she spoke but her nervousness didn't lessen any. She swallowed thickly before glancing up to look at him.

"You can drink tea how you want!" Jack laughed "I don't fancy hot drinks..." he smirked touching again his cup freezing its whole content. Where he came from hot drinks were only for visitors of other planets, Deltanians made hot drinks and foods only in those occasions!
"Have you ever drunk tea?!" he glanced her tilting his head, was it possible that it was her first cup of tea?!

Namine sank in her seat a little at his accusation. "N-No. I haven't," she said quietly. She hadn't done much of anything. Before the destruction of her planet, she finally found her soul. She stopped being an empty shell and started being a 'person'. The vessels acted more in a rather fugue state. After finding their soul, they forgot all about what happened before that. She was a blank slate and highly impressionable.

"That's weird!" Jack tilted his head at her reply. Never drunk tea? Where was she from?! A cave?! "Tea wasn't a common beverage on your planet?" at that point curiosity was taking the place of fun "On my planet we used to serve tea only to visitors , but we knew what it was..."

Namine looked down at the table. "I-I don't know," Namine said softly. "I don't remember." She ran her hand over the side of her cup of tea. She knew it was weird and that she had a lot to learn but she was doing the best she could.

Jack raised an eyebrow as she spoke "You don't remember?" he tilted his head "Where are you from?"

"Zidane said we were from Gaia." Namine explained. "And that we're Genomes." She quietly folded her arms across her chest. Zidane had warned her about explaining too much regarding her lack of memories.
