{ the coolest of cool } || Foster & Prof. Ceiba
"Now, where could it…have gotten too…." Cecilia muttered to herself, rummaging through her purse, looking for her dollars. She was so unorganized, this wasn’t the first time she had misplaced her money. Heaving a sigh, she shakes her head and looks up at the cashier. "I must’ve dropped it down one of the aisles, silly me! Would you excuse me while I—-"
Out of the blue, a hand reaches over and settles the missing twenty dollars on top of Ceiba’s items - coffee grounds, $5 DVDs from the bargain bin, and feminine products - causing the professor to whip her head around to see who this savior was. It was a boy, a little younger than herself, dressed rather casually.
"My, you’re so kind!" She beamed, her eyes full of gratitude. "Gosh, I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had lost it for good! Perhaps leave empty-handed I suppose but," Ceiba bowed before him, coming up with a huge grin on her face. "Thank you so much for your generosity!"
The cashier leaned over the register, impatiently clicking her nails on the countertop and sighing, as the two strangers interacted. “I’m so terribly unorganized, this was very kind of you!” The professor stood back, winking at him. “My name is Ceiba. Cecilia, you can say. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Foster smiled a bit at the woman. "Its not a big deal." Of course, he was going to act cool around her. He was the coolest of cool. He was surprised at her wink. It was something he didn't expect in the slightest.
"Ceiba? Cecilia?" He used his free hand to rustle his hair. "Can I call you Cece for short?" It wasn't that he didn't like like her name, he actually found it to be quite pretty. "My name is Foster, its nice to meet you as well."
Shifting the basket into his other hand she looked over to the cashier. They didn't seem very happy to have to wait for the pair to finish their conversation. Turning his attention back to Ceiba he shrugged. "How about we pay up and take this outside?"
