"Anything's better than staying at your house, with you sitting on my feet," She laughed. "Besides, you suggested we go here, not me."

*She laughed and stuck her tongue out at her friend.*
"You put your feet in my seat. You were asking for it." *She frowned.* "Would you rather go somewhere else?"

**NEW DAY**
*The place was...well, rather deserted. But that was to be expected, wasn't it? They were all gone. He sat down at one table, tracing the pattern in the wood with an index finger as he forlornly gazed at nothing. It was far, far too empty in here.*

*Kaylee entered the cafe, a srping in her step as usual. Though she'd been stuck here for ages with no sign of her crew even though there were at least two of them in the vicinity, she wouldn't allow herself to get discouraged. She'd even gotten a job backstage at the opera, woking with the mechanics of the sets. After work that day, she'd wandered into the cafe, to get a drink, some food and maybe even meet somebody new.
The place was deserted, except for a sad looking boy at a table. She gave him a cheery wave, wondering what someone so cute had to be sad about.*

*He only vaguely registered that a girl had entered the room, and gave a half-hearted wave back at her. Under other circumstances, he would have greeted her, but his mind and heart were a bit overburdened at the moment*

*Kaylee went up to the bar and ordered a sweet sort of girly drink, then approached Marius' table.*
"D'you mind if I sit here? I just thought you looked so sad an' lonesome sittin' here all by yourself in this big ol' empty place and there ain't nobody else here for either of us to talk to..."
*She trailed off, giving him a bright smile.*

*He gave her a sad smile and nodded*
"I don't mind you joining me. It's probably best I don't dwell on things too much for too long."

"Thanks! I'm Kaylee."
*She sat down and placed her drink on the table and gave him a sympatheric smile.*
"What's the matter?"

*He swallowed hard, trying to fight back the wave of emotion*
"My friends...all of them...died in a battle. I was in the battle, too, but I survived because of one of them."
*It was almost too hard to fight back all the sorrow, now, and he stopped there, forcing it all back as best he could, though it still showed on his face.*

*Kaylee stood, and went around the table, squeezing him in a tight" hug.*
"Oh... "
*She patted his back ineffectively.*

*Momentarily forgetting that she was a stranger, he clung back, sobbing into her shoulder as his resolve finally broke*

"Shh," *she whispered. She'd hardly expected this, but she wasn't one to abandon someone when they needed a shoulder to cry on.*

*After a moment, he calmed down, feeling again embarrassed that someone had seen...not just tears, but a breakdown. He pulled back, looking rather sheepish*
"I'm sorry...you don't even know me and...oh, mon dieu, I made a fool of myself..."

"Oh, please, mister, don't worry about it."
*She gave his shoulders a final squeeze, and offered a soft smile.*
"What's your name?"
