The one an' only
The girl pulled out one headphone just as Sick Individual by Halestorm started playing. She gave the guy a smirk. "Well aren't you a nice guy. Does that make me your friend then?" Her eyes flicked over to the window of the truck as their order was set down. "Good thing I was here to help you carry this all. You might have been okay by yourself, but if you dropped it...well food truck vendors aren't always forgiving about mistakes like that. Then you'd really be broke." she said handing him some of the food to hold before taking her own.
She shrugged at the so called hole in her ruse. "Maybe I was just being a good sister by giving brother dearest an ego boost." another once over with her eyes. "Not that you'd need it." she added with a wink. When the guy gave her his name she chuckled dryly. "What, only some people call you that? Not everyone?" she bowed a little, as much as the food in her hands would allow, when Colby finally recognized her. "In the flesh. Though that nickname is a bit of a mouthful. Name's Liz. Don't call me Elizabeth or any other cutesy version of it you can think of unless you want to get cut, got it Jack?"
As they were talking some short stack came running up in a tizzy. He didn't even bother looking at Liz and that pissed her off. If you were going to interrupt people, at least have the decency to look them in the eye. Who taught this kid manners? "You're a little problem." she said without missing a beat. A little rude maybe, but he started it, and Liz never held back. Not even if it was a child. Kid's had to learn at some point that the world was a harsh place and she wasn't going to b.s. a kid to protect their feelings. The earlier you hardened your heart the better. She turned her attention back to Colby. "This your real sibling Jack? Or one of your aforementioned friends?" she considered offering some of the food to the younger boy, but she didn't know him. If he was getting any of the food, it would be from Colby's hands, not Liz's. 0k_mang0 Dede
