He clicks the button, letting it unlock before hopping into the driver's seat. "Ah, alright then. We gotta get you your own phone, though." He snickers.

"No, that person only picks up the phone if they know the number. I did save their ass so they owe me a favor. Letting us enjoy a day at their beach will be that favor." He explains and stands beside his pickup, waiting for him to unlock it.

"You don't wanna just use my cell?" He asked, jingling his keys as he walks over to his pickup.

"Yeah, I am ready, if you drive us to the store I can make the phonecall in the meantime to secure us a private beach." The reptile states, pulling his cooler and backpack out of his car once he has walked back to it, in order to put it in Austin's car.

Austin's already there, opening the door. Dressed in trunks, flip flops, and a tee. "There ya are! Ready?"

About half an hour later the reptile parks his car outside of Austin's. He gets out of the car and walks up to the house in order to ring the bell.

Of course, of course. He'll be ready, and waiting for him!

Caynore@CarnivorenomoreJul 11

In that case, he will arrive at Austin's in about half an hour. The traffic is a bit heavy as of now due to an accident. Luckily, the reptile is suspended from duty currently because of an ongoing investigation into him.

Hm. They can meet up before, more time together wouldn't hurt.

Caynore@CarnivorenomoreJul 11

Caynore is confident that he can work it out. He will just need some extra time for it. Should they meet up beforehand or should he get it arranged beforehand? After all, they still need to go shopping for a day at the beach and the BBQ.

Somewhere more private works. Even if he didn't know one, Austin could find a spot easy.

Caynore@CarnivorenomoreJul 11

Most beaches don't allow BBQs. The ones that do are absolutely swamped. However if he is fine with waiting for half an hour the reptile can make a few calls to maybe get on a private part of a beach where they could have a BBQ as well.
