Ella blushed, then smiled and waved back.

Plucking up her courage, she called, "So are you on display every day, or is today special?"

And then blushed back. Honestly, she sometimes didn't know what got into her.

Johnny flashed her a wide smile. "Today is special," he replied and stepped closer, extending his hand in greeting. "Johnny Storm."

"Ella," Ella responded, taking the offered hand and smiling. As two names seemed expected, she added, "of Frell."

"What makes today special?"

"Ella of Frell, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, shaking her hand gently before he drew his away.

"It's shirtless Friday. It's also the welcome picnic. Ususally the tradition holds to guys, but I've been informed that there is a girl here among us taking up the custom as well. Haven't yet seen her," he commented while taking a quick glance around.

Ella glanced down at herself, rebuttoning the very top of her blouse. Nope. Her shirt was staying on. Mandy would break her personal rule against big magic, materialize and kill her, otherwise.

"I've not seen her either. She'd have to be very bold," she ventured. And very ill-bred.

Johnny watched her, amused. "I wasn't going to ask."

"That she would. Or? She was just... hot." He cleared his throat, took a drink of his lemonade. "I meant that in the literal sense. Really."

"I wasn't going to offer," she told him, raising a skeptical eyebrow. "And of course. She was merely warm, the poor girl. Someone should find a fan for her."

He wanted to say, 'good girl' but caught himself just in time. Sometimes Johnny did well enough to just stand around and look pretty and keep his mouth shut. "Right. They should. Or at least offer her a shirt. But... shirtless Friday and all. So, Ella, where is Frell?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008)

"Shirtless Friday," Ella repeated, bemused.

"No one seems to have heard of it, but it's in Kyrria, west of Ayortha," Ella explained. "Where are you from?"

"Usually it holds to Fridays, but I take advantage of other days of the week too," he thought to offer.

"Yep, nope, haven't heard of it. What year are you from? Me, I'm from NYC - New York City. That's in the the United States if you're not aware."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008)

"I'll remember that," Ella promised.

"It's 2008," she said. "I think? But I hadn't even heard of the United States. Is New York nice?"

Johnny smiled. He wasn't flirting. This wasn't flirting. At all. Really.

"It's big. Loud. Best pizza ever. Born and raised there so I'm partial. Oh, and it's got the best Supercross conventions ever! Man, I miss them."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008)

Ella also wasn't flirting. For one, she didn't really know how to.

She sure was smiling a lot, though. "I don't know what Suopercross is," she admitted.
