Running ahead of the group, Jayson found an empty booth for them to sit at. "Found one!" Jayson shouted, practically across the room. Eric shook his head at his abnormally loud little brother, and slid into the seat next to where Jayson was. Not long after they were all seated then, the waitress came up and handed them their menu's, before walking to the next table on her list. "Hm...I think I'll just have a plain burger and fries. With a soda." Eric muttered more to himself, looking at Batari next, wondering what she would get. Jayson however, grabbed the crayons he and Zhi were handed for their kids menu's and immediately started coloring on the coloring sheet side. "Jay, you better know what you want by the time the lady comes back." Eric warned his brother, and with that, Jayson, with a pout, turned his menu back over looking at if for literally a second or two before returning to his coloring.

Zhi happily scooted in on Jayson's other side, beginning to play with the crayons as well, until he was given a look from Batari that said "you too." He turned the menu back over, then looked to Jayson. "Ge ge (older brother), can you read it to me?" He asked him. Batari couldn't help but smile, happy to see Zhi was so friendly with Jayson already. She looked over the menu, debating if she wanted to splurge her usual diet for a burger, or if she wanted to stick with the salad. Hearing Eric's order, she decided it sounded too good. "I think I'll be getting the same as you." She told Eric.

Jayson looked over at what Zhi was pointing at, happily helping him with what the menu said. "This says Chicken fingers...then, hot dog..and then...." he scooted his finger down the menu as he spoke off of each line, "oh, and hambuger and cheesebuger." he finished off. "I'm getting the cheese buger and fries. Oh! With a chocolate shake too!" he exclaimed to his friend, half of his body nearly over the table top, just to reach Zhi's side.
Eric was watching as Jayson was helping the younger boy read. That was just like him too. As silly as he was, Jayson really did like helping others. It was like his specialty or something. With that, Eric glanced back to Batari when she mentioned what she was getting. "Can't resist the delicious greasiness in the burger, can you?" he teased.

"I want a hot dog with choc'lite shake!" Zhi told his older sister excitedly, happily returning to his coloring. Batari made a face, normally their parents didn't like them eating so unhealthily. I guess one time won't be too bad... She thought. She smiled at Eric, "I think more of us can't resist the chocolate shake.. that sounds delicious!" She told him playfully.

Jayson laughed at his excitement, before returning back to his seat again, busily coloring his picture. "Well, since everyone else is having a chocolate shake, I might as well have one too." he laughed, "I don't wanna feel left out!" he joked with her as well, setting the menu on the edge of the table showing he was ready to order.

Zhi giggled as he continued coloring, looking over at Jayson's picture every so often. "Woah, you're good!" He complimented. Batari giggled at Eric. "It sounds like a nice choice since it's so beautiful outside, don't you think?" She asked him, staring out the window.

Jayson glanced up at Zhi when he heard his compliment given to him. "Thanks!" he said, glancing over to his friends as well. "You're good too!"
Eric watched as her head started to drift to the window as she started talking about the weather. "Yeah, it is nice out, huh?" he said, a little more blandly than the way she said it, but still meaning what he said. "I'll have to go to the beach sometime soon. Go surf or something." he mentioned, finding himself looking out the window as well, before turning back to Batari. "Do you surf?"

Zhi smiled, coloring in his picture with more zeal now. Batari gave Eric an apologetic look. "I don't know..." She told him. She began playing with a corner of her napkin, "honestly, I was a little nervous at first about even going into the water... My parents died in a tsunami..." She told him, not trying to get pity, just telling the truth. "I was going to start learning to surf when I was younger, but I was too afraid to go into the ocean." She smiled at him, "I'm okay now though, and I would love to learn."

Eric took one more glance at the younger kids coloring with more feeling now, and suddenly looked back up to Batari when she mentioned something about her parents. "Oh. Oh, shit, I'm sorry." he frowned suddenly. He certainly wasn't expecting something like that to happen. "Well," he bit his lip, flipping his hair out of his face before continuing on, "That's good that you're not afraid of the ocean anymore. And if you're still willing to learn, I can teach you if you want."

Batari shook her head, still smiling softly, "I don't mind. It happened a while ago. And... I'd love to learn." She told him.

Eric nodded. "I've been told I'm a pretty good teacher too." he let out a small wink to her escape. "That is, if you trust me." he even started flirting a bit. Must of been something he got from Bayne, because Eric has never flirted with a girl and meant it before.

Batari smiled, accepting his flirting but not good at flirting back. Teasingly, she told him, "I think I can do that. Trust you, I mean." Zhi finished up his picture, nudging Jayson a little, "look!" He told him, showing his picture proudly.

Eric chuckled softly at her response. "That's good, then." he grinned, watching the boys as they exchanged each of their finished drawings then. "Whoa! that's cool!" Jayson squealed, lifting up his own to show Zhi. "How 'bout mine?"

Batari giggled softly, the waitress finally coming to them. "I'd like a cheeseburger with just lettuce and a chocolate shake, please." She told the waitress. She looked to Zhi, "and he would like a hot dog and chocolate milkshake."

Eric grinned, waiting for his turn to order his food next. "And I'll just have a regular hamburger, no onions, and also a chocolate shake." he turned to Jayson then, seeing as he was busy with his drawing currently, so he figured he would order for him. Just as he was about to though, Jayson turned his head around, with a pout on his lips. "I wanna tell her!" he whined, Eric simply making a hand gesture for him to go ahead and tell the waitress. "I wan' a cheesebuger and french fries, please! Oh, and a chocolate shake too!" he told the waitress, smiling at him with pleasure as she told the group their orders were going to be ready soon, and left back to the kitchen.
