Maddie looked down at the glop that the lunch lady had placed on her plate. She stuck her tough out and poked it. She didn't normally eat lunch here with patients but today her mother wouldn't allow her home yelling at her not not having enough hours in or something.
Maddie sat down at an empty table and continued to poke at the food.
"No wonder the patients complain about this food... i know i wouldn't like to eat this garbage." Maddie sighed and pushed to food away from her.

Hungry after exploring the hospital grounds, Tino decided to see what was for lunch. He grabbed a tray and slid it along the cafeteria counter, humming. Another day, another... he blinked at the cook as she dumped a large ladleful of something indescribable and vaguely green on his plate. ...tray of glop, he thought glumly. But food was food and a necessity of life, so he took his tray and looked for a table.
Ultimately, he set it down next to a young woman he recognized as a nurse. He wondered what induced her to eat here, when she was free to leave the grounds for lunch. "Hello," he said, and picked up his plastic utensil.

Maddie turned to see a patient seated next to her. She smiled.
"Hello Mr...." She trailed off. She had never seen this patient before
"I'm sorry but what is your name?" she asked politely

"Tino!" He smiled at her. "You're a nurse, right? What's your name?" He thought she looked a little confused... maybe she just didn't want company. She seemed as nervous as some of the patients. He wondered if some of the more belligerent ones gave her trouble because of that timid demeanor.
After a minute he could feel his smile faltering, so he bent his head down and started eating.

Tino looked up, and was relieved to find the nurse smiling. "Nice to meet you, too." He dropped the spork on the tray and offered his hand to her. "Just Tino, please. I won't ask you to say my last name. It's a bit of a mouthful."
He saw her glance at his tray. "What do you think about the food here? It's kind of boring, isn't it? And it looks a bit... well. Can't you eat outside? What are you doing in here?"

Maddie too Tino's hand and shook i.
"Well, i usually go to eat lunch with my mother, but today she said that i had to stay here...and well eat the food, but as you can see" Maddie stopped to point at her plate that was pushed far away from her. "I don't intend on eating it. Maddie laughed and smiled.

"Oh." He looked down at the glop. "I've eaten worse..." She would probably not want to know the details of that. "Couldn't you pack a lunch? What does she care what you eat?" He went back to scooping his lunch into his mouth. Small talk was hard, but he would try to be polite. Maybe she'd be willing to bring him some things if he was nice enough.

Maddie thought for a second.
"That packed lunch doesn't sound have bad actually." She said, and pulled out her leather wallet. She had 20 bucks and 80 cents left. 'Enough to buy s lunch for two' she thought.
"Hey, Tino tomorrow, if you would like, i could get you something, like McDonalds or Subway?" Maddie asked.

Well, that wasn't exactly what he was hoping for, but it was something, and he wouldn't turn it down, especially when accepting was more likely to result in more offers. "Oh, you would really do that? For me? Oh thank you!" He threw his arms around her and kissed her cheek, not really impulsively though he hoped it appeared that way. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean... that was too much. I'm just so grateful, you know. You're very kind." He smiled at her, sweetly.

Tino smiled again, and went back to eating. He would have to do something nice for Nurse Maddie as thanks. It was always helpful to have good relations with the staff.
