He smiled, he probably would have gone to the station anyways, but Nyota going with him made it even better, "yea...we'll see the stars."

His smile faded when she asked for his last name HE DONT HAVE ONE! NO LAST NAME! NO FAMILY! he gritted his teeth trying to keep from screaming at the Shadow.

He sighed and looked at her, "I don't have one," he shrugged, "I'm just James." He frowned, thinking she'd know what meant, that he was never adopted, but what she couldn't know was that the man who raised him looked at him as nothing but a piece of garbage tool.

Nyota jerked her head towards James, shocked that James didn't even have a last name. This kid really did have nothing.

"... your... an enigma aren't you?"

Seriously, every time time he asks her a question he always gets an answer. When she asks him a question she just gets even more questions.

"Seriously... Its like can't ask you anything without at least five more questions to ask." huffed Nyota who sounded a tad annoyed.

"... you know... you kinda blew your chance to make up badass last name. Like... James Shadows... or Jame Asskicker... or... James..."

Nyota extends her arm to the sky as her fingers take on the shape of a mock gun pointing at the Sun. She then rools over on her side, closing on of her eyes as she took aim at James with her finger-gun.

"James... Bond~" spoke Nyota with the smuggest expression on her face.

"Pow." she cooed as she fires her as her index finger jerked upward as if from the recoil from her "gun." Nyota then brings her index finger close to her lips and blew on it to clear away the imaginary gunsmoke.

He smiled and chuckled at his friend's name suggestions, it was actually a go idea, to come up with a last name. He supposed he'd need one. "It's actually a good idea," he smiled ignoring a few of the nastier comments the Shadow was throwing at him, "I'll think of one and I'm always open to suggestions."

"Wasn't sure if I'd ever get to," it was truth, he never thought he'd get to live his own life let alone be able to choose his own last name. He smiled, "it'll be nice, to have a last name."

He smiled at her, happy to have a friend to help him figure out how to live a normal life, "thank you, this all means a lot to me."

"James Dingleberry, James Pansy, James Cummings... *snort* hee... do you really want me to suggest more?" giggled and snorted Nyota, sure it was immature but she found it humorous.

"Well whatever you pick, make sure to do so wisely. This is you one chance to decide before you stuck with that name forever." stated Nyota as she toss herself back to looking up at the sky.

"No problem dork. Anyway, would you say that cloud over there looks like doughnut? Kinda funny looking if squint your eyes just enough it looks like a doughnut to me... maybe we should go get donuts or something. Do they have those in the cafeteria? I don't remember if they do or not." rambled Nyota, her mind kinda on the thought of food at the moment.

He chuckled a bit more at his friend's immature humor, he'd never been allowed to act his own age so her humor was strangely refreshing, "something will come to mind."

He looked toward the cloud in question, squinting till he got the desired shape, "not sure what the cafeteria is having today." He got up, stretching and dusting himself off, "if they don't have doughnuts we can go buy some."

He smiled at her, "there's a coffee shop not far from here we can go see what they have." He'd heard a few students mentioning it.

"A coffee shop... huh... do you think they they have pumpkin spice lattes? You know what, lets just go over there and found out ourselves."

Nyota kicks and somersaults from the ground to a stand. She takes a moment to brush off some grass on twigs that clinged to her butt before she offered the said hand to James.

"Alright then, how about get our butts on over to this coffee shop you speak of. Thats the plan yes?" remarked Nyota as she continued to hold her hand out to James.

He smiled at his friend and took her hand, "we'll see what they have...my treat." He started to lead her in the direction of the coffee shop.

"I hear it's good, though I haven't been there yet," he looked to her, "I actually really love coffee....it's good stuff." He had gotten used to long nights working as a thief, so he more or less lived on coffee at times.

After a few minutes of walking together the coffee shop was in sight, when an older couple passed them, the older lady smiled and looked between him and Nyota. This made him realize that they were still holding hands, he wasn't sure what to do.

"Hrmm... yeah. I guess coffee is nice when you put enough cream in it. Both of my mom's love the stuff. " rambled Nyota the two of them made their way to the coffee shop, she had only just relied that James was still holding her hand several minutes after she had helped him off the ground.

At first she tried to wriggle her hand free but found it difficult with James' iron grasp on her hand so she begrudgingly went along with it. At least until the old bitch gave the two a them the smuggest expression on her face, clearly thinking something that wasn't even then. Nyota hated that expression!

"Ugh... damn it James!" she screeched as she forcibly pulled her hand away from his.

"I'm not fucking 5 years old you know! Ughh... dork." she grumbled as she stormed her way inside the coffee shop.

She stood firmly in the center of the establishment, looking at the arty chalkboard menu of all of the food and drink options they had available.

He fliched slightly as she pulled away and ran inside, IDIOT BOY, the Shadow yelled followed by the entity laughing.

He stepped into the shop and stood beside Nyota, "listen, I'm sorry, it's just," he rubbed the forearm of his left arm, he sighed and rolled up his sleeve revealing a bad scar running across it, "the doctors here say it's nerve damage, I lose feeling in my hand a lot, it's why I forgot that I was holding your hand," he had never told anyone about it before. Garret had given it to him during one of his drunken rampages. He pulled his sleeve back down when a few people started to stare at it.

He looked to the menu, in truth he normally drank his coffee black, but he wasn't drinking it to stay awake before a heist so he decided to order one with cinnamon, "I usually just drink it black but I might as well try some new things."

Nyota gave James an annoyed facial expression. She was going to have this transgression slid but now she was even more annoyed with her friend than she already was as he tried to give her some sorry attempt at an excuse to explain himself rather than just owning up to. Hell, he didn't even really give her a proper apology as he put the blame on some disability that he only just mentioned to her know. She didn't know if it was true or not but she didn't appreciate his excuse.

"Dude... really? Thats your excuse? Whatever dork... next time just own up to it and leave it be." grumbled Nyota as she struggled to make out what exactly was on the menu.

She looked at it the more difficult it became for her as she could swear that the letters were constantly rearranging themselves every time she tried to read them. Eventually she just got headache and gave up.

"Fuck me..." she mummered to herself as approached the cashier in front who waited happily for them to make an order.

"Hey, nerd... do you have a pumpkin spice latte here? If so I will take one of those with extra whipped cream. Also..." Nyota toke a glance at the pasties displayed in the glass case, then looked to cashier again "... can I take three of the chocolate glazed doughnuts?"

"Sure thing miss! What size do you you want your your pumpkin spice latte in?" cheerfully asked the cashier with a surprising amount of enthusiasm in their voice.

"The largest one you have."

"Oh... the 20 ounce cup? Might I recommend the 16-"

"Did I stutter?" boldy inquired Nyota as she leered at the cashier.

"Ummm... no... alright so the supreme cup then. Will that be all?"

Nyota responded by nodding her head.

"Great so... that ill be 14.95 miss." chimed the cashier as she gave Nyota a smile.

Nyota nodded and looked back James behind her.

"Hey James, your ready to order right? If not, can I have 15 bucks to pay up over here?" called out Nyota, tilting her head a little to her side as she looks back to him with a neutral expression on her face.
