"Heh. Don't worry about it. I'm sure it will be interesting."
He really meant it too. There was a....hint of normalcy in what she said. The childhood friends and family, the teasing about their being together. It hinted at a brief moment of time in her life when she'd had...a regular life, before her abilities were discovered or manifested themselves. It made him think. This place is 'what might have been' for her, now out of reach.
He looked at her. What was she to him, anyway? He wasn't sure. Obviously he was attracted to her for a lot of reasons. Physically of course. But there was also the fact that she too had grown up completely alone. He wasn't sure why, but he found himself drawn to people like her; he found himself desperate to save them as he had been. He laughed at himself. He was sure someone could use that to say all kinds of things about his psychological state. But at this moment...they were friends. New friends with some chemistry, definitely. But friends none-the-less.
The train came to a stop and she stood up indicating it was time to get off. He followed her lead and they walked side by side up the stairs out onto the street. A light dusting of snow was starting to come down, illuminated by the lamps, flakes gentle floating on the air on their hair and clothes. He took his jacket off and put it on her. "I know you're tough and all, but I have a sweater and you have a little shawl on a dress. So that settles it."
They came to a door, the sign in the windows saying Salvetore's Restaurant. Lucas held the door for her and then followed inside.
