Toby shoved some cold spaghetti in his mouth. He'd wanted to hang out with some friends and catch dinner, but the Korean knocked out cold on the couch of his flat said otherwise. He'd been excited when Cheonha first randomly showed up in his favorite cafe, but that was before the translation mishaps and Cheonha nodding off at the table.
I forgot the time differences. Toby shoved in more leftovers and chewed. Cold spaghetti is my favorite food. It is right now, anyway.
Toby went around the bar that divided the kitchen and living space, then sat at one of his bar stools and plunked the plastic bowl of spaghetti on the bar. It was easier to keep an eye on Cheonha that way. Not that she need an eye on her. Since getting to the flat she hadn't done more than collapse on his couch and pass out.
Actually, Toby was disappointed with more than that. He'd met an alien, but Aldaris was boring -- nothing at all like the Doctor, or any other alien in media. Aldaris was no adventuring explorer, sage mystic, or sinister invader. Toby's life wasn't at all more interesting. So far, he'd seen two minutes worth of New York, had a nice dinner with a Chinese family, and become the unexpected host of a randomly appearing Korean. There wasn't so much as one wild space adventure romp. Toby made a point to ask Aldaris if they could orbit and look at the moon, next time he went up. At least that would be interesting.
Come on now, Charlie, get that teleporter working! Why haven't you tried to find Cheonha yet? Certainly you know when your teleporter is being used. Toby stirred his noodles into a tornado around his fork. And next time I see you, try to be a bit more exciting!
