Nina pushed through the crowd with a focused determination, her small group trailing behind her like a line of ducklings, and she led them directly to the less-crowded sandwich counter, a place that smelled vaguely of vinegar and processed turkey.
"Okay, this is faster," Nina announced, her eyes scanning the menu board above the counter, "everyone figure out what you want, we don't have all day."
Jake, seeing another opportunity for his master plan of 'normal human interaction,' immediately turned to Ruby, "So, uh, Ruby, what are you thinking? The club sandwich looks pretty classic."
Ruby looked at the menu for a moment, her gaze quiet and thoughtful, "…The turkey and avocado one looks good."
"An excellent choice," Jake said with a nod that was a little too serious, "I will also have the turkey and avocado, to show solidarity."
