Grey was going to meet up with Emerson since he was getting off of work soon. This had become customary in their relationship, meeting up after class, work, for lunch, etc. They were pretty close, or at least that's how Grey felt. Emerson was without any question her best friend, although she felt like he was such a good person, he needed other people in his circle. So, in light of her cousin making a surprise visit Grey decided to bring her in tow to meet up with Emerson.

Grey's cousin Florence wasn't too much like Grey. She was tall, almost too tall at five foot nine; towering over Grey who was only five foot. Grey was pretty petite all around but Florence was...curvaceous to say the least but dressed about as modestly as her cousin. Both adorning plain fitting t shirts and cut off levi jeans. Florence also had bountiful curls, hers being inky black rather than ginger. No freckles, and very dark but still very dreamy sapphire eyes. But what was special about Florence was that she was also adopted, her and Grey had a little 'orphan club,' when they were kids. Florence was also deaf, and as someone who didn't have many friends because of being so, she was excited to meet Grey's new deaf friend Emerson.

"He work's at a yogurt shop?" Florence signed, making a slight face. "How?"

Grey had been practicing signing in all her spare time, still not fluent, she was pretty good now.

"He just does. Everyone else just needs to be patient, but it's not a big deal." Grey explained as she pushed open the door.

Emerson had just gotten off his shift, but upon seeing a group of younger children struggling with the yogurt machines (they'd apparently come from an apartment complex down the street with chore money their parents had given them), he'd hung back and assisted them all since he was waiting for Grey to arrive anyhow.

To say he was fond of Grey would be a vast understatement. While he saw her as a friend, first and foremost, he couldn't deny that there was a bit of a crush developing behind the scenes. Of course, he wouldn't bring that up to her or dare to proceed with "homewrecking" in any capacity, but he couldn't stop that giddy little flutter in his stomach whenever he thought about spending his time with her.

He was currently standing with a little toddler, the youngest of the large brood of children, in his arms as they filled up his cup of the various flavors he wanted. He was still very young and couldn't express his wants beyond pointing, but that didn't bother Emerson very much for obvious reasons.

Grey smiled upon seeing Emerson across the room helping a small child with his yogurt.

"That's him." Grey signed before waving at Emerson and skipping over, Florence hanging back slightly.[/i]

Emerson had just set the tot down when he saw Grey waving at him and approaching. He grinned from ear to ear and waved back.

"Hi, Grey." He signed, her name being one of his favorites to sign.

Grey stepped to him and gave him a hug, which was pretty standard by now in their friendship, she was a naturally affectionate person.

"Are you already off?" She asked after pulling away, tugging back some of her stringy curls that clung to his shirt during their embrace. "There's someone I want you to meet." She added.

"Yeah, I was just helping these kids." Emerson signed as the peeled apart. He cocked a brow, but maintained a curious smile at Grey's statement. "Who?"

"My cousin." Grey began before stepping aside and gesturing for Florence to stand beside her.

"Hello, I'm Florence." Florence signed her name as 'long hair' with an 'F'.

Emerson smiled broadly. Grey had mentioned her cousin a few times here and there, so he was pretty excited to finally meet her.

"Hi! I'm Emerson!" Emerson signed E with smile. "Grey's told me a lot about you."

"Grey talks about you all the time, it's good to finally meet you." Florence smiled.

"Emerson, Kisa is free tonight. I thought we could all get dinner or something?" Grey signed, gesturing to the three of them.

Part of Emerson wanted to ask if Kisa was really going to show up, but he knew better not to be bitter about past indiscretions. Not only would it be a mean thing to do in general to hold it against Kisa, it'd be rude towards Grey as well.

"That sounds good!" Emerson nodded.

"Awesome!" Grey beamed, turning after for a second to check her phone that had gone off.

Florence took the opportunity to be sneaky. "Have you actually seen this Kisa person?" She signed, scrunching her face a little.

Florence had heard from her parents (and aunt and uncle) what a promising young suitor Kisa was for Grey. But Grey didn't seem to ever talk about her too much, and Florence had yet to see or meet her. Although she met Shika in passing, she supposed Kisa looked something like him?

"Once." Emerson signed back with a little scrunch of his own face.

"Sorry, that was Kisa actually. She told me she was getting ready and to decide where we wanted to eat, her treat!" Grey beamed.

Grey was genuinely excited. Kisa wasn't romantic, affectionate or at all adventurous. She didn't show an interest in Grey's friends or family, so tonight felt special, just for her.

"That's nice of her!" Emerson said, smiling broad at Grey's excitement. "I'll eat anything." He assured.

"There's a barbecue place, west woods? How does that sound?" Grey asked, not sure how to sign 'west woods' so she spelled it out. [/b]
