[Pause]

There are monsters here. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a zombie outbreak.

[constructum]

Wichita apparently dealt with Zombies where she's from.

[ which yes, is completely odd to her and only seems like something that would be in ones twisted nightmares. but whatever, she was slowly trying to understand that whole idea and knows she only will by asking for details from others. ]

But anyway...still doesn't explain why you are so trigger happy and think that way. [ a questioning brow. ] So what's Earth like for you back home?

[theyalldieforme]

[He looks over at where Witchita is. Well. That explains...nothing.]

Like Earth. I'm from Los Angeles.

[constructum]

And it's normal in Los Angeles for people to think this way?

[ because really john, she can't help but look slightly skeptical by that. she may not know your LA. but really, it's not a war zone where she is from. (granted, she only made it to the airport there before she showed up here, but whatever.) ]

[theyalldieforme]

[He's quiet for a minute]

No.

[constructum]

[ okay...

she's just silent for a moment at that, her brow furrowing in thought over that, before she is asking: ]

So why are you that way, John?

[theyalldieforme]

Call it the way I was raised.

[constructum]

Can you be more specific?

[theyalldieforme]

[He shrugs]

No, not really.

[constructum]

[ she can't help but frown slightly at that. (does everyone have to be so secretive she is close to?) ]

Why not?

[theyalldieforme]

Because I can't.

[constructum]

[ well...she is just going to sit there, looking up at him with a slightly frustrated look. ]

We all have secrets, John. But that doesn't mean they have to be secrets from all.

[ so yes, she is trying to urge him on here, hopefully showing him that he can trust her here. ]

[theyalldieforme]

[He turns and looks at her, slightly annoyed himself]

I know incredibly little about you. I haven't asked who that guy was who got you after I broke your arm, and why he moved like he could have taken me out in half a second, and why he was packing that day.

[constructum]

[ She blinks in surprise at that, not fully sure what to make of the statement at first. No one has ever made a remark like that to her, and pretending she knows how to handle it wouldn't be something she knows how to truly do – at least not without drawing some suspicion. Because sure, she knows how to lie (well…for the most part) but she has never really been fond of it - not with someone she has grown to somewhat consider a friend - in a roundabout way of course.

So she just sighs, quietly admitting: ] People only see what they want to see with me, no one bothers to look beyond the surface.

[ and there's a sadness in her eyes about that, as she knows there is much more to her than what people are choosing to see and she sometimes wishes people would honestly just see it. ]

And Arthur - the man that was with me that day - he knew the real me and you saw the real him.

[ and yes, she has finally started talking about arthur in past tense, as she has slowly come to accept that she wouldn't see him again. ]

[theyalldieforme]

[John shrugs]

I look. I just don't pry.

[He's more observant than most people realize, probably because he's also a lot more paranoid]

[constructum]

[ She just sighs, her hand going to rub at the back of her neck in thought. ]

Sometimes prying will only help you better understand things.

[ seriously, she has found so much more of an understanding for things the more she pry's at times. ]

[theyalldieforme]

[He nods, sharply, once]

But sometimes prying makes people want to do it in return.

[constructum]

Sometimes it's better to have them pry - you need to have people like that - it makes life easier.

[ and god, does she wants you to pry john, because she's not going to share things unless you do. (she's sick of always lying to some people) ]

[theyalldieforme]

[He thinks about it for a second]

You tell me the truth, I'll tell you the truth. But not here. I'm not doing that here.

[constructum]

[ Her lips purse into a fine line at that, her brow furrowing again as she thought that over. ]

Deal... [ a long beat, her brow arching in question. ] Meet up on the first floor this week?

[theyalldieforme]

[He nods]

All right.

[constructum]

[ she does actually smile briefly at that, almost excited about the possibilities that could come with it. ]

We'll be in contact then. [ a beat, her smiling turning almost playfully teasing for a moment. ] Now go talk to my facetwin for a bit - buy her a drink or something.

[ yep, don't think she can't sense something is up with that, john. ]

[theyalldieforme]

[He snorts, it's half a laugh, but he goes]
