Areli spend a while to get ready and look nice enough before going out to catch a bus, which was busier than he would have hoped. But the bus only runs certain times and it was either getting there half an hour early or getting there after three, so Areli ends up getting there early and has to meander around downtown and get a coffee, just so it doesn't seem like he got there as early as he did. (and he couldn't just get himself a coffee because that would be sort of rude right??)
So far trying to get a date with this kid was a lot of effort.

Once it was finally closer to 3, Areli slipped back over to Bar None to wait for Cassidy.
