He did the same, looking over the variety of mostly seafood options.
 
Raine ordered an iced tea when the waiter came by.
 
He took a bit longer to decide, eventually just getting water.
 
Raine continued to scan the menu, ordering a salmon dish when the waiter came back with their drinks.
 
He ended up ordering a blackened shrimp bowl. That sounded interesting.
 
Raine handed the waiter her menu and sipped from the iced tea.
 
He remained silent, mostly just to make things uncomfortable. He took the water in both hands but didn't pick it up.
 
Raine seemed unbothered for the most part, leaning back into her chair and pulling out her phone.
 
How inconvenient for him. He tapped his fingers on the glass for a while, trying to think of something to entertain himself with.
 
Raine tapped on her phone for a little while until the food was brought to them. She put her phone back into a pocket and leaned forward to eat.
 
He felt like it took them long enough. He took his own dish and examined it before scooping up a bite of just about everything within the bowl, and put it in his mouth. It was actually very good.
 
Raine ate a little slower, humming happily as she did.
 
He continued to eat, shoveling it in now. It was strange, but he started to feel a tickle in his throat. He shrugged it off, as he figured he just needed to cough or something. A rash began to spread along his biceps.
 
Raine glanced at him and quickly noticed the rash. Her eyes widened. "Hang on! You need to stop eating!"
 
He raised an eyebrow and began to ask why, quickly discovering that he could no longer talk. He tried to clear his throat and ask why again, but he was still unsuccessful. Fear lit up his eyes as his hand flew to his throat. The rash was quickly spreading. He drew a small, ragged breath, which sounded more like a wheeze.
