Day 56: Tasty Burger (Noon)

Peter didn't know if he and Firo had left on the best terms, if only because the younger man was still so confused about what was going on in this place. The change in time period had a lot to do with it, but it had also sounded like he'd had a lot going on in his life before ending up here. Then again, who hadn't? Peter had just exploded before

It wasn't long to one of the food places, and she moved inside, glancing back to see if he had followed. Therein, she walked to the line of people ordering, glancing up at the menu above the counter.

...Meat, grease, fats. Hm. Perhaps she would continue to maintain to eat nothing here. She sighed mildly, then saw two salad options in small text at the corner. Lettuce it was, once again. She ordered, then waited for Byrne to take his turn.

Ahh, the smell of greasy fast food. There was nothing else like it in the world. Ridiculously high calorie, sodium and fat content in a single slab of meat, cooked to perfection... Forget the lack of nutritional value, he was hungry, damnit! He could care less about getting fat, especially when he had so much more to worry about around here. Not to mention this was the first time he'd seen and smelled real food in the past day and a half. It was going to take a little effort to stop himself from ordering the whole menu.

After Renamon finished ordering, Byrne walked up to the counter and promptly ordered a giant cheeseburger with everything on it and fries. Could he really get all of this with just a coupon? If only he got these back home! Oh man, he couldn't wait, so hungry. It was all he could do to stand there patiently as the restaurant employees got their orders ready

Despite how the Digimon was, it seemed the man took extremely well to the main portion of the menu given. She glanced at a couple already seated biting deeply into the meat byproducts and packets of grease and part of her expression died. The need for consumption brought about a large amount of unwanted variables--the average human eatery being one of them

Byrne nodded in between chewing on a huge chunk of his burger - the best food he'd had since he'd arrived here! - and waited to speak until after he'd swallowed. It was only polite, after all. "Everything's okay. I was just worried about everyone else."

As he set down the burger for a moment, he looked down at his tray as his expression went from a casual smile to a serious stare. Alright. It was about time he grew a pair and came out with it. No sense in avoiding the issue any longer, especially if they were going to discuss any institute-related theories. No holding back now. Just say it. "...I really need to stop doubting you," he started slowly, "Everything you say that I think is crazy turns out to be true." He shook his head. "Well, I admit it now. Time travel's real. Resurrecting the dead's real, too. Hell, anything's possible now. I don't even know anymore." He let out a small, dry laugh. "I doubted you twice now when you were obviously telling the truth. But now I know better. I don't know what's up with this place or how

...She partially wondered how he could eat that without becoming sick. And why he seemed so happy while doing so. She blinked at him, then mentally shook herself. That was not the subject at hand

Epic backtagging is go!

He laughed a little at that; heck, even the lightest joke was heavily appreciated right now. "Come see me tomorrow and we'll see how it goes," he responded, managing to smile again.

But the smile faded quickly as he was reminded of the things Badd told him the night before. Things he really didn't want to accept but knew he had to. He was going to die. Kay would be in danger. She'd grow up without him. Badd would be pained for years. His killer was someone he trusted with his life. And he was taken away, brought here just minutes before it would all happen? But...

"Why," he muttered under his breath, "why would they do this to us?" He shook his head. No, thinking about this was hurting him more. Burger, yes. Burgers were perfect distractions. He was going to eat and not think about this for now. Yes.
