Scene from The Siren's Remorse

The tapping of shoes signaled the onset of supper to come which drew the golden siren away from the comedy.

"Hello, my name is Gentle Shores. Are you ready to order? We have a special tonight on Chinook Salmon if your interested?" the young copper haired woman asked.

"We're fine with what we want, we'll be on the same check." Adagio replied without meeting eye contact.

"Gentle Shores? Is that really you?!" Twilight called out as she adjusted her glasses to see clearly.

"Ahh… if it isn't the top student at Crystal Prep! How are you!?" the waitress broke away from Dazzle as she was about to tell her what she wanted.

Sparkle stood up as best she could in the awkward position of being close to the wall in the booth, which Sonata soon found herself unknowingly squished between both girls and their bosoms as they hugged above her. While annoyed at being denied their food by a few moments longer, Aria snickered as Dusk had her bear hug returned to her and she couldn't even process the experience. A short embrace was all they needed before they went on a dive into each others lives.

"Girls, this is Shores! She's a foreign student who transferred here a year ago to attend the university nearby. She spent her last year of high school at C.P.!" she joyfully mentioned as she sat back down.

"Without her, I would not have been able to graduate due to language barrier and culture shock. She was my tutor for a couple months, helped me pass the finals. Are you her friends?" she asked.

"Ya! She's My best friend!" Adagio felt the instinctive protectiveness her subordinate exuded, stress pheromones only sirens could pick up.

"Were you two friends by chance? Because she never mentioned anything about you." she asked twirling around a curly lock of orange hair.

"Oh no, we were just study buddies. I had crash course into every class, but Principle Cinch was the one who paired us up so I could pass valedictorian. I already worked hard back home. Can't say we hung out unless you count homework and reading." Shores seemed oblivious to the assumption the siren were casting and Sonata's troubled face.

"Ah, so just another student then. Well if your done recapping with each other we'd like to eat soon." she tapped her menu with a slight bit of irritability.

"Oh! I'm so sorry about that, Twilight we have to catch up soon! I could use a tutor with classes as they've been?" soft teal skinned waitress waved before she dutifully listened for their food choices.
