King wanted to leave so badly, but he was raised with manners. So he didn’t leave the drama queen to her own devices. He leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his coffee, “If you must know, I am studying law.”

She leaned forward in awe "really?! Impressive!" she says genuinely enthusiastic. "what are you planning on being, a hero? " she joked, as all heroes of this city had to study law. Though to her she figured he was just going to be a lawyer. But she liked a joke or two.
“Hah.” King let out a laugh. He was a little nervous at the mention of heroes. While technically he was a hero, the coty only gave him permission because he was a prodigy of sorts. The only requirements he had to meet was not telling anyone about him being a hero and then graduate law school. In his mind both we’re equally as difficult, “No way. I have no abilities whatsoever. I’m just trying to become a lawyer.”

She raised an eyebrow to suspicion when he mentioned having no abilities whatsoever. But she shrugged it off. "why a lawyer Huh? You don't seem like someone who would do it for the money"
"I want to be able to help people," King shrugged as if that much was obvious. He ran another hand through his hair sipping the coffee with his bandaged hand, "And practicing law is my way of doing it."
group
“Hm, how interesting.” She says looking around the shop. “Say, what happened to your hand?” She tilted her head to the side like an innocent little puppy, not putting two and two together.
"Accidently burned it while trying to make coffee in my apartment," King lied smoothly. He almost pained him that he was so good at lying off his injuries to anyone who asked, along with keeping it consistent, "I still feel stupid for doing it."
group
Her eyebrows raised. “Hm, when?” She asked eyeing his coffee on the table. If he had already made coffee in his apartment, then why did he have coffee here? Why go out of his way to pay for new coffee when he already had some at home?
Though she came up with a few good excuses that he could use. Maybe he spilled it, gave up and came here to buy the coffee instead of having to deal with making it himself. Maybe he just liked this coffee more or he liked coffee so much that he wanted even more.
She shrugged it off, simply using that as a conversation starter. She was thinking too much about this. A burn on her own wrist and arm covered by a hoodie. It stung, but her sister had soothed the burning a little bit.
"Just before I came here," King responded completely understanding of her suspicion. He took a sip of the coffee and put it back down on the table. The lie worked to his needs, but now he needed to come up with something that made this more understanding to this rando chick, "I spilled the whole damn thing and rather than try to make another batch I decided I would just buy some from here. A lot less of a risk to my health than making more."
group
She nodded with a content smile as she went onto the next subject.
“I saw you didnt pay for the coffee when you came in. You work here?” She says leaning on the palm of her hand, he vibrant green eyes hooked on his as if she were challenging him. Though she said nothing to hint at that.
King raised his eyebrow. Why did her eyes look like she was challenging him? It made no sense to him, he had never met Aria before today. Unless he had, but that wasn't possible no matter how familiar this girl looked, "Yeah, I do work here. Another reason why I came here for coffee.
group
“Oh well that explains it.” She laughed a little. “How long have you been working here?” Aria asked casually. Shes come here regularly, never seeing him. Not even once. How odd.
Though she must have been pretty busy. She never gave the workers much attention.
"A couple of months or so," King responded thinking back. It really had only been a couple of months since he had been thrown into the world of heroes and all the shit that came with it. He looked over at Aria, "I work weird shifts so you might not have seen me here before."
group
She listened as she bit the inside of her lip. "what times? I would love to come here and see you again" she winked at him with a flirtatious smirk
King resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Of course, she would ask that, just of course. He wasn't going to be rude, but he wasn't going to flirt back either, "First shift, so from open to around 10 am most of the time. Otherwise, I pick them up when I can."
group
“Noted” she says readjusting her posture in the chair.
She flipped out a small white piece of paper and a small pen, writing her number on it and sliding it over to the man across the table. “Well, it was wonderful talking to you, but i really must get going” she says standing up and turned to her sister as the man she was talking to disappeared.
(We should have a main plot type thing. Like an excuse for them to meet up with eachother over and over again until they become buds then fall in love and sappy stuff ig.)
(Hmmmmmmmm we should.)
King took the piece of paper. He saw the number and was half tempted on throwing it away, but talking to her could be interesting. If he did though, that would just be another thing to juggle around in his already hectic life. He gave her a shrug, "Okay, I'll talk to you later then I suppose."
(I just got something of an idea. What if King ended up having to do some type of project thing for his classes and ends up having to work with Aria because of it?)
group
(Oooh! I would love that! Why would she be involved is what I’m concerned about? Though, since hes like in law school there could be a way to meet a villain. But idk how that would be legally possible since if they have the in their hands they would of course put them in jail or somethin. So imma just throw that idea away i guess? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense I’m kinda tired…)
(No, no it's good even if it won't work. What else does she do besides terrorizing the corrupt?)
group
(Like outside of villain work?)
(Yeah that. Same thing isn't it?)
group
(Lol ya)
(So she works with a clothing business. Making outfits n crap. I haven’t worked that much out so far, but its decently big. Idk)
(Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe he needs to do some project on the laws of business or some shit like that. I don't know, I'm not in law school. But does that sound good?)
group
(yeah it does! Should we do a small skip?)
(Yeah, you mind starting or no?)
group
(I don't mind at all! I'll get it up in a sec)
(so should I just go to her working ornis there something going on with his school thingy?)
(Whatever you want. I'll work with whatever ya give me.)
group
(Oh okay!)
Aria waved goodbye to her little sister before starting the car and pulling out of her small parking space beside their small house. It was nice and cozy, perfect for two sisters to live there. They both loved it there and to Arias knowledge, neither of them planned on moving out soon.
Pulling out, she turned the corner onto the dirt road leading to the main road, taking her directly to where she needed to go. She worked at Forever 21. Of course she did
As stylish she was, that was the perfect place for her to work. She knew almost everything about every single piece of fabric on the racks.
(Sorry its kind of short)
King had his hair pulled into a high ponytail. One of his classes had given the project of studying a business along with the laws that applied? He didn't exactly recall the exact assignment, but he remembered the gist of it. He also remembered the business, franchise he had been assigned to observe, shadow, study, whatever, Forever 21. He had ridden off to where the local store was, or the one he was supposed to go according to his professor and entered the store. He still found the whole thing stupid but wasn't going to argue. the moment he stepped in his eyes shot to a pink-haired woman he recognized from a few days ago, well great.
