The cafeteria at UAU was way more impressive than Rin had personally expected it to be. Not that she had thought it would be bad or anything, not for a nice university like this, but it still went way beyond what she expected. Mostly because of the variety available. There was all kinds of things to choose from and looking around the cafeteria at all the different things different people had, the vast majority of it looked great! Some of it was stuff Rin had no idea what was, likely from some place outside of Japan and the kind of thing she would have to get used to if she tried it, but nothing looked horrible or disappointing or anything like that.
Normally the brunette was a bit of a burger fiend but today she went with a nice big slice of pizza, with all manner of toppings on it. She didn't eat pizza often, didn't know if this kind of pizza had a name or not, but it looked and smelled great!
Tray in hand, she found herself with a new problem - where to sit? She barely knew anybody here still, and there wasn't any outright empty tables to sit at. Maybe she could try eating outside the cafeteria or something? But, this could be a good chance to try to get to know somebody too, wouldn't it? Approaching a spot that at least wasn't super crowded with preexisting and newly formed friend groups all loudly chatting with each other, Rin hesitated opposite where a boy with very light hair with bits of pink and blue mixed in was sitting.
Like always she didn't manage to make eye contact, looking down at the table instead and asking: "Uhm, excuse me and sorry if I'm bothering you, but is it okay if I sit here?" If the boy said no Rin was going to apologize again before hastily scurrying off elsewhere, but if he didn't mind she was going to carefully and quietly sit down for her lunch while mulling over a new problem that she wasn't sure if was just in her head or not - was it awkward to just sit here and eat lunch without any conversation? Taking a bite of her pizza, for a little bit she could let her anxiety drift off into the background as she just enjoyed the flavors and textures and the way they all played together. Unless the boy happened to start up a conversation first, Rin was going to ask: "Have you tried the pizza here? Its - ah, I think at least, it's really good."
Rin hadn't thought to check when she said that, but if he happened to also be eating pizza she was going to feel like an idiot.
