It was The Loud One who arrived first, candy floss hair an eye catcher. Elvis thought it was a cute colour, bright and pretty, and it would make flushing cheeks stand out cutely. He smiled in welcome as she spoke her name, his lips stretching wider and his eyes glistening as the words he lived for left her mouth,
"You're even cuter in person!"
Elvis felt his heart stutter, his palms start to sweat, knees weak, arms are heavy... this was it. This was the moment he had been waiting for, to hear those words come from the lips of a human in a sincere compliment. He felt his cheeks flushing - the warm heat a curious and perhaps startling new discovery. Why did his skin turn hot so easily? Why was this heat appearing in his face? Pale hands came up to press against pink cheeks, and Elvis quickly turned with concern towards Neptune and Ashe, as if they might be able to explain to him why his body kept changing in such bizarre ways.
It was only then that Elvis realised two more humans were joining their table. There was the other pink haired girl joined by a brunette. Both were cute, and the bright smile on Elvis' face from a second ago quickly fell first into a frown, and then into something that threatened tears. He felt so stupid with his white hair, when he should have had blubbly pink, or even soft brown. How was he to know humans like those colours better?
Elvis tried to keep the tears at bay, and perhaps they might have fallen if those magical words hadn't sounded again,
"This cutie has to be Elvis..."
His frown evaporated instantly and a bright smile split his face, cheeks once again heating up at the compliment (he would really have to figure that out later. Was he sick?)
"Hello" He greeted all three female humans, a wave of his hand joining the grin on his face. Except, that smile faltered slightly at Shea's greeting - or rather lack of greeting. She hadn't called him cute, she hadn't even looked at him. She hated him. It was plain as day. He was going to cry, again.
Except then a laugh bubbled from his lips at Ashe acting as Neptune, and then laughed some more as Neptune pretended to be Ashe. He wanted to join, but he couldn't very well pretend to be Ashe or Neptune now. Looks like he'd have to be Elvis.
"I didn't bring any ray-bies." Elvis admitted, shifting guiltily in his chair, "What is that? Do you need it for hot chocolates?"
Speaking of hot chocolates, Elvis had barely had time to look at the menu. Now, he glanced down at it and felt his belly rumble at the sight of the 'Lunar marshmellow-tastic rocket chocolate drink', which claimed to come with it's own toy rocket. Elvis would get that. He was certain.
Elvis didn't realise, he was looking at the kids menu.
