Liked spending time with her? There was something about that statement that she couldn't understand, less so in her state. The only times people said they liked being around her was because they wanted something from her, and she was playing into it so they were in her hand. At his question, she shrugged not sure what to make of it, feeling herself sobering up with every question he threw at her. Everyone tired of her eventually, it was how she ended up where she was in life, right?

There was something about the way he worded that concern that made her giggle. She tried hard to hold it it, not wanting him to think that she was belittling his concern. But there was just something about it that made it hard to contain. "I get it, you're just being a good friend. Advice taken. Thank you, numbers will be deleted. Scouts honor. No rich creeps."

For a moment the thought of saying that maybe another time because that would mean wearing her heels again crossed her mind but then there was the mention of a lighthouse. "I'd like to see the lighthouse." A smile came to her face at the thought of seeing it, she had come to love those solitary towers, a spectral in the foggy distance, a fellow draugr. She could bare wearing the heels for a little while longer for that.

Instead of taking his phone from his hand, she held his hand in both of hers to hold it steady so she could look at the video. "Awww," she said as she watched the video, there was no denying how adorable it all was. "Maybe you should." Letting go of his hand, she smiled at him. "But aren't they native to Mexico and Africa? I remember seeing some in the Yucatan, in a pink lagoon. They're gorgeous in a flock. You would need more than one because they seem like social animals. What would you name it? Also, wouldn't it be sad when you're gone if it's imprinted on you? I remember as a kid wanting a penguin once when saw them on the Galapagos. " One sure way to know that she was relaxed and possibly inebriated was the questions, the conversation. The curiosity she was reprimanded for growing up, was on full display when the habits and walls she was forced to build were temporarily down.

Following the waiter and Wally, she smiled at everyone as she took everything in. "You're not supposed to tap the glass." It was a jest, as she slid in across from him. "Was that a dig? Are you judging me, Elias? I'm not drunk. I'm just slightly happy is all. Believe me, everyone would know when I'm drunk." She smirked before looking over the menu. "Hmm." Her stomach flipped at the smell of the fries as they were set down. "Yes, it is. " She looked up with a smile, watching the two interact and thinking just how nice it was to know someone. To be a regular somewhere, to have grown up in a place. "I'd like a wonderland punch, Wally here says it's amazing. And I think I'll just go ahead and say I would love to have the grilled chicken sandwich, chili cheese fries, and some water, please. " There was a big chance that she wasn't going to be able to eat it all but it all sounded so good right now and the voice that had been implanted long ago as a child to only eat the bare minimum was silent.

"Oh," she looked across to Wally. "You said you had to order for your sister, right?"

It was almost cause for offense the way she asked. "Not at all. I like spending time with you. More so when we're not knee deep in cases. You're fun." Maybe, fun wasn't the right word but he was always intellectually stimulated around her. They never ran out of things to talk about and the fact that she gave it back just as good as he did her, that made time spent with her worthwhile. "Do you really think I'm tired of you?"

Quickly shaking his head trying to let her know she had nothing to apologize for. "Don't be sorry. Please don't take this as me telling you what to do or who to do," that made him cringe the way that was phrased, how do you even say please don't have sex with anyone cause I'm fucking in love with you. Without crossing a line there. When that answer came to him he'd be sure to use it. "I really just," still no words so he opted for a head shake instead. A man with so little words who knew an entire encyopledia and yet came up empty.

"A likely excuse," he stated with a smile, reverting back to himself. He was proud of his home state he grinned and nodded. "This may be my complete bias but I sure think it is. It's really beautiful at night. If you're not too tired tonight I'll take you to see it from the bottom level. If not then I'll take you another day so you can get the full view from up top. Oh, you should also see the lighthouse. Nothing quite like it on the island."

"According to this article," he showed her the phone and reached out his arm for her to take. "It says when this one hatched at the zoo that their handler was the first they saw and imprinted on them. Now the flamingo is two and runs toward the handler. There's a video too." He pressed play and smiled as the animal flocked right into the person and then did a little dance. The laugh from him was genuine as he thought that was cute. "Not gonna lie. I want one now. Maybe I should go ahead and buy that land." She knew his dream, one of, of owning a farm.

The waiter greeted them with a gleeful aloha as he walked them to the table. Wally liked this restaurant, aside from the chill vibe, the staff were kind and he got leftover breadsticks to take home afterwards. Before the waiter could leave Wally asked for the special and the drinks could be added after. He took the corner seat in the booth near the giant tank they used for decoration and tapped it gently before grabbing the drink menus. Putting it up to read he hummed. "They have really good drinks," bringing the menu down to look at her, "the non alcoholic kind. The wonderland punch is pretty good. I, myself prefer the vanilla shake." A nod to when they went to that diner in New York. "You can order whatever you want. Anything jump out?" The waitress came out with freshly baked fries and smiled at the two. Aloha Wally. Out so late so very unlike you. Then looked at his companion. "Welcome. Is this your first time here? I'd recognize an angelic face as yours if you were a regular. Wally, you've been hiding this gem." The older woman patted him and grabbed her notepad. "Would you like something to drink?"
