spots the female nearby. She seemed to be injured. " Pryvit! Are you alright miss?"

"Yeah... I think so..." *shakes hand, trying to get rid of bird saliva*

takes out a handkerchief from his pocket. " Here, let me see it. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." He smiles politely.

*smiles and nods* "Thanks. Next time I try to feed birds, I should probably use gloves."

wipes the injury carefully before folding the handkerchief into a strip and wrapping the injury. " Perhaps."

this guy is awfully nice for helping me, but he seems to be dressed rather warmly for the beach.

isn't too bothered by the weather at the beach. He finished the final knot and smiles. " There."

"So what brings someone like you out here? Are you all alone, son?"

blinks and raises a brow. " Pardon me?" No one has ever called him that before. It was quite shocking to him.

"Didn't anyone come with you today?"

blinks again. " No, not that I know of."

*smiles* "Hm, well, I couldn't keep you company, if you want."

slightly confused. " Um...Thank you?"

"No, I mean, it's not that you look lonely, it's just that the beach is more fun when you have someone with you..."

nods at that and smiles. " That is true."

a bit awkward. "So, um, there a smoothie vendor that I know just a little bit up the beach, want one?"

just glad she isn't injured too badly. " That sounds good and may I have the pleasure of knowing your name by any chance?"

"Oh, um, I'm Monaco. I don't travel often so that's probably why we haven't met." *weaves among the tourists toward the smoothie stand*

nods. " I'm Ukraine but call me Dmytro instead to avoid confusion."

"Okay, Dmytro. What flavor?"

blinks. "...What flavors are there?" He didn't drink smoothies really...

"Strawberry, kiwi, mango, hmm, blue raspberry is new. They have gelato, too."

a little awed by the choices. " What would you recommend then, Miss Monaco?"

"Personally, I like mango gelato. It's less expensive, too!"

nods at that. " Then I shall get that."

*buys two cups of mango gelato* "Here, ah, bon appetit!"

accepts it gratefully. " Ah. Spasybi." He watches her eat before taking a bite. " It's good."

*really wants to gulp hers down but is trying not to seem like a pig.* "Let's go find somewhere to sit, Dmytro."

nods and sees a bench under a large tree. " How about there?" He points to it.

"That seems fine." *accidentally get a little gelato on her cheek, and wipes it off, hoping he didn't notice"

hands her a napkin with a polite smile. " Here."

"Heh. Thanks. Hey, I haven't shown you my magic trick yet! Would you like to see it?"

nods a little. " That sounds interesting."

"Alright. See this coin? *snaps fingers and the coin disappears* "Here it is!" *pulls it out of the sand below the bench* "That's a trick+

((I mean _)) that only works here!"
