...had the right idea. She should have mapped everything out when Taner took her for a tour, but she was just so glad to be away from the tension, she hadn't really paid much attention to where she was going.

Let's see... Down that hall was the Tutorial, right?... and there were stairs somewhere that would lead her to the faculty, and...

Where was the damn cafeteria??

Eric enters stage left carrying a plate of food. He just exited from one of the doors on the side! An empty classroom.

Food. She closed her eyes for a moment. Food she didn't have to cook. She was just about to go into the room he left without a word when she realized it was empty.

"Um, excuse me," she said, turning back around. Maybe he had recently come from the cafeteria and had just wanted to eat alone.

"Hmmm?"

He turned around with a smile.

"Sup?"

She pointed at the food. "I assume from the cafeteria," she asked with a shy smile.

"I'm sort of lost and was trying to find it myself. The cafeteria, I mean."

"Oh this?"

He held up the plate.

"Nah. Just something I pulled out. As for the cafeteria. It's that way."

He'd point down a hall.

"Down that hallway, hang a left and boom. Door at the end."

He'd look her over, new face?

"New here I'm guessing?"

Just... what? She blinked at the food for a moment, and almost missed his directions.

Clearing her throat - it's rude to stare, Evie! - she nodded.

"Not NEW new, but since I'm not a student, I usually don't have to come into the Academy itself. I have been cooking at the Pod, or we've been ordering food in."

She offered a smile, trying to avoid her little lapse in judgement.

"There's only so much Chinese or pizza a girl can handle."

"I'm a New Yorker," she said with a smile. "And I've had enough of the damn pizza. I'd like something else... pasta, maybe."

Then, her face lit up like a kid at Christmas. "Oh, gosh, or a vendor hot dog. Gosh, I miss those. Slathered in all sorts of things."

...
She's hungry, okay?

"So? Pasta or hot dog? Or both I guess?"

He was holding a plate of chicken nuggets himself.

"I'm not THAT hungry," she teased.

It really took a moment of thought.

"The cafeteria probably makes a pretty good pasta. You can't get a New York hot dog outside of New York."

She shook her head. Just not possible.

She laughed along with him, but gave a shake of her head.

"No, seriously. They don't taste as good."

"There's something about street vendor hot dogs, lathered in condiments, with sauerkraut or something layered on. It doesn't matter what place tries to replicate it... It's not New York hot dogs."

She smiled fondly at the memory, closing her eyes for just a moment. She could almost taste the greasy goodness.

When she closed her eyes he'd put his free hand behind his back, opening a portal and he'd pull out a street vendor dog just lathered in sauerkraut and onions and other toppings. Pulling it from behind his back he'd hold it to her.

"Something like this?"

The smell hit her first, and her eyes popped open in child-like wonder.

"What?" she demanded, though there was only excitement in her voice. "How did you manage that??" She would reach for it, then pause, wondering if it wasn't somehow an illusion.

He grinned.

"Magic."

"Magic?" she chuckled, and would take the hot dog if it were offered.

Pausing for a moment, she stared at it, inspecting it, before taking a bite.

Then, her face would really light up. Her eyes were brilliant blue and her smile was wide. Hiding her mouth behind one hand, she finished her bite before she said, "Wow! This is... actually a New York hot dog! That's some kind of magic!"

It was totally offered. And he'd give a small bow at the praise.

"I do what I can."

She clapped one hand to her wrist, careful not to drop her hot dog. She continued to eat it, looking content.

And this is what she missed about New York.

"Is that your power, then?" She asked after another bite or two. "You do magic?"

"With and without my power."

He'd wink before popping a chicken nugget into his mouth before motioning with his head for her to follow him. He wanted to sit down and eat.

Happily, she followed after Eric, inspecting the hot dog as if she could find something wrong with it. This had to be some kind of trick.

"What else can you do?" she asked curiously.

"A lot of things. What kind of things did you have in mind though?"

He'd lead her out to the courtyard parking his butt on the stairs near the main entrance.

She down beside him with a shrug and a smile. It seemed a bit ominous, what he had said, but it wasn't as if she really knew what she was asking.

"I don't you. You just pulled a New York dog out of thin air, so..."
