"I'm well, thanks." She had noticed the confusion when describing her work but explaining it would be a bit much.

"I'm Sienna. And, it seems we're getting some food. Vegan tater tots that are yummy. I found this place a couple years ago and they're spot on." Her name was called and she picked up her food before sitting down, pouring hot sauce over it and taking a bite. She remembered having a drink in her bag and pulled out a yeti.

Solstice went up to the food truck and looked at the menu. He couldn't decide what to have. It all looked rather tasty. There were combinations of foods he had never heard of or had even thought to try. He hummed softly in indecision.

"I recommend the three, their cashew cheese and the roasted garlic are amazing." Sienna tried to help the fae since he looked like a deer in headlights.

Solstice tilted his head slightly. "I did not know you could milk a cashew and make it into cheese..." He mumbled with confusion.

"It's vegan, plant based foods. I don't know how it's made, but I think it's a combination of cashew butter and cashew milk which is more of a tea and some nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste. It's good." It wasn't that difficult, he didn't think."</rose>

Dalion heard his name called next and stood up to pick up his food, amazed at the variety of colors and smells he started salivating. The red-eyed kid seemed to be a little slow ordering so he impatiently yelled:

Hey chef! Why don't you do me a favor and get black skellington here something that would fatten him up a little? do you have a day special or something?

[Edit: deleting something because of mismatch of time, sometimes I take too long writing a post

This is what I deleted to keep the impression of Dalion being rude: He didn't realize the issue was halfway solved before he intervened, "oh, you already have an idea? go for that then if that's what you want, she probably knows what she's talking about."

Solstice decided he didn't much care for the loud man who kept backhandedly insulting his appearance. "I would very much appreciate it if you kept your opinions to yourself, thank you." He grumbled, wings flicking irritably but he was still decently polite.

"I think he's in a constant state of hangry. Don't pay him any mind." She was quite polite, herself. Ever striving to be a good person if she was able.

"What's your name, by the way?" She took another bite and a sip from her yeti. Definitely glad she'd decided that the French rose in the fridge needed to be her companion on the trip.

Solstice turned back to the woman beside him. "I suppose that might be true..." He muttered. "My name is Solstice, and yours?" He asked politely.

My name is Dalion, so both your names start with S? good, that will make it easier to remember. Dalion said all this with his mouth half full, not wanting to stop eating.

"Solstice? That's an interesting name. Which season?" She knew that there were courts of fae, and that the summer and winter were generally opposed in a way. But, that was about all she knew, they weren't exactly open about internal politics.

"I'm Sienna Sanders, @siennas on insta and that has all my other accounts." She was working, it never hurt to get another subscriber.

Solstice ignored the man talking with his mouth full to save himself the disgust. But he did acknowledge his name. He smiled nervously at Sienna "Summer, I was born on the exact day. My fire magic is always strongest then, though I rearely use my element. I mostly focus on healing to help the good doctor." He paused. "My apologies... I don't have any social media..." He admitted sheepishly.

"Oh, fascinating. So healing and fire? An interesting combination. But, I guess summer is life in a way." She wondered how something destructive and something palliative worked together. Or separate, maybe. Two manifestations of magic. Maybe different magics completely. She didn't really understand any of it. Then something shocked her. "What? No social media? Oh, you just have to have some. Do you have a phone?" She also, after saying it, realized he may not be the age he looks.

Solstice chuckled. "It's funny people say that. But my fire is not from destruction... It comes from the stars above us. And what are we all made of if not stardust? Fire is warm, it gives us light and life." He told her, wings giving a little happy flutter. "I do have a phone... But I guess I'm not terribly social... Besides... I hear some sites track you... and I'm not so sure I like the idea.." He muttered.

"Stars may be the source of energy and life but they're also a source of destruction. I mean, even our sun will eventually expand and swallow the earth. So maybe it's a bit of both." Things were eventually going to stop, at least that was the theory. So any spark was good, anything to keep entropy at bay.

"Yeah, some track you. But you can turn that permission off. I don't usually, but I'm pretty much always on some form of social media. I've posted pics of my food and a few other things already today, and I'm making a video for later. I can help you set it all up if you decide."

Solstice let his wings sink back down. "Oh... I see... Um- well-" He paused. "A-anyway... I would like you to show me how to make it. If you don't mind..."

Dalion was happy to eat nearly uninterrupted, it wasn't often that he could sit down to eat a hot meal at peace. But a part of the conversation stood out for him, he kept digging away at the feast in front of him but did so only with his right hand, his left clenched in a fist under the table. He kept doing this until he was finished.

Sienna smiled at the offer. "Of course I'd love to help. If you get your phone we can set some up. I mean, at least get you some that you can meet people and communicate. I'll make sure all your privacy settings are set but they're tricky and change them from time to time so you'll have to keep up."

Solstice smiled and fished his phone out, it was a decently new smartphone but seemed rarely used. "Ok, what's next?" He asked.

She went on to explain the various social media and other sites that she was on, at least. How to set them up, creating usernames, all that. If he wanted to created something common across them or didn't care. Seemed like he might want to just see what else was out there and other people.

The fae man listened with great interest and followed her instructions to the letter. He also made sure all his profiles looked nice. He was never one to do anything in halves. "Thank you very much, Miss Sienna." He reached to pat her shoulder.

"I'll do anything for another follower," she clearly joked as he likely saw she had quite a few.

She thought nothing of the shoulder pat. "Can I ask you a personal question, I know that fae can live a long time, many are immortal, how old are you?"

What he likely felt in the touch, though, was not something Sienna was even remotely conscious of. She got a little charge, it felt like those times she'd managed a glamour but, no not the same as that. Was it Solstice's power? Maybe she had a small sense for the magic of others.

Solstice pulled his hand away like he had almost been singed. He had a shocked look on his face as he looked at his hand, rubbing his fingers together slightly. But he snapped out of it and looked back at the woman herself. "I- Well- I'm an adult if that's what you mean..." He muttered, seeming to withdraw slightly.

That was a strange reaction. "Is something wrong?" She didn't do anything, had she?

"Oh, I meant, I mean I'm 25. But, I heard there are some, even among the fae who came to this realm, who are hundreds and thousands of years old. It's just fascinating to see so much, experience so long where we humans only get a century if we're lucky."

"No no. You're fine. I just felt something." He muttered, then looked back at her. "Well... I'm nowhere near a thousand years old." He laughed nervously.
