Mikey is crossing out, for the third time, his entries on the Sudoku puzzle in front of him when a familiar voice rings loudly through the mostly-empty diner. Of course, regardless of how crowded a place is, Rey always seems to have a way of making his voice heard in it. Mikey admires that in his friend, who always seems so confident and comfortable in his own skin. Not that he isn't comfortable in his own skin -Mikey is rather content, in fact- but the extreme confidence is something that, unlike most others on the island, he rather likes. It gives people a sort of presence, after all. You simply can't ignore them, even if one were to try to do so. The shout, "Yo, Mikey!" catches his attention immediately, of course, bringing his eyes up and pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose as they threaten to slip once more on account of the angle his head is tilted at. The young man's face breaks out into a bright a friendly smile, and he raises a hand to wave before Rey reaches the table he is sitting at. "Oh, Have you done the maze yet? I rock at those," Rey boasts with a cheerful expression as he slides into the seat across from Mikey. A frown flickers across the bespectacled lad's face before he shrugs and smiles sheepishly.
"Sorry, Rey, I've already done 'em all. Forgot that you liked to do those ones!" he admits with a warm but apologetic air about him. Seeing that Rey has begun flicking through the menu, Mikey picks his own up and looks at it, not really paying attention to the pictures, just making himself busy until Rey orders. He is conscious of always choosing the same thing, and of the fact that Rey always seems to order the chocolate milkshake and pancakes, regardless of how long he flips through the menu or how intently he stares at the various options which it presents in aesthetically pleasing ways. He only really stares at the menu for a moment before placing it back down on the table and glancing over his shoulder around the place. There never actually appear to be any cooks here, yet food is constantly being whipped up, and is consistently delicious.
"Getting pancakes and a chocolate milkshake?" Mikey asks Rey, guessing that the young man before him will order the usual dish- there has been no evidence as of yet that he will choose any alternatives.
