He had deeply forgotten about his concerns .

Lance came out of his thoughts and took a big breath and remarked the man, "Ahem, you should have a seat, the rain isn't going to stop at  anytime soon."

The man merely shook his head and sat down next to lance .

Lance inquired of the man, "Do you come here often?" The man replied in an irritated tone, "No."

The man had a grimace on his face and appeared stressed .

Lance offered the man a bottle of a juice , which he declined in hushed voice , at which point the man's stomach growled . The man glanced at Lance awkwardly , lance smiled and said , "You should probably drink it.

The man accepted the bottle of  juice and thanked him with a sweet  smile .

The man sipped some juice , glanced at lance, and repeated  Nicholas, to which lance answered with a puzzled expression. The man then stated , "My name is Nicholas," and smiled again . Lance smiled and introduced himself .

Both were staring at one other intently when thunder struck, surprising them.

They both averted their gazes and gazed up at the sky .
