He was trying to look harmless. He did, a bit. Objectively speaking, he wasn't a small man. But he looked small, compared to what she'd grown used to. Closer to her own size. She was staring at him like he was an alien. That was more than a little depressing. She didn't want to think she'd managed to grow accustomed to being the only human in the room.
She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again in silence. She was usually better at this, wasn't she? She couldn't remember what was weird. She didn't mind being weird, but she wanted it to be on purpose. Her sense of personal space was all fucked up, because the only person who'd been allowed to enter hers only ever did it to hurt her. She tore off a bite-sized piece of her burger to eat it thoughtfully, restraining a hum of pleasure. When he seemed dubious, she nudged the fries closer to him with her knee, sucking her fingertips clean.
"I'm Nadine," she said finally. "I'm going to… be weird. Sorry." It was okay if she warned him in advance, right? She leaned closer to hold his tie, running the pad of her thumb over his tie clip. Seven opals, same as the seven around her wrist. "You're staying all seven?" she asked tentatively. She wasn't sure if that was good or bad. She wanted to wait as long as possible before risking going back, and seven days was that. But she didn't know where he'd be in seven days. It seemed like it would be easy to get lost here. She'd need to be able to find him and need to convince him to experiment.
This was probably a stupid plan. It wasn't even a plan, really. More of a vague notion. She didn't even know where he was from. She wasn't sure she cared.
