"It's what I've heard," she said, and she wondered if maybe he didn't know. There was certainly no shortage of people blissfully oblivious to the things that went bump in the night. People outside the valley unaware of the idiosyncrasies of Las Ballenas, people in cities who never thought to believe the rumors. He seemed smarter than that, but she really didn't know. "All settled in, built into the foundations of the place. Too many to fuck with if you're small-time." She shrugged. "I never minded monsters so much," she said, "as long as they aren't mean. It's the pretty ones that fuck you."
"Everywhere seems boring to the people who live there," she said. "Except New York. You should go."
A little bit of nice. She didn't know why that particular bit of phrasing got to her, that he wanted to be nice to her. That it was so very obvious. She went a little still and bit down on her tongue, and was very careful about breathing like a normal person. She was fine. Everything was fine. When he took the burger she drank more soda, a distraction and a way to keep her throat from closing up. "I'm glad you like it," she said blandly when she felt it was safe.
"The only problem is that it means I need to know where you are in a week." She fidgeted again with the pendant on her necklace, rolling the little heart between her fingers. "The doors go wherever they feel like. So do the rooms. I wouldn't have any way to find you." She looked up at him again, but not for long, eyes drifting back to the middle distance. "We'd have to stay together," she clarified. "It'll sorta put a damper on your plans, if you were hoping to get laid."
It was a no-consequences party, after all. What else had he been planning to do?
"Unless you can find someone who doesn't mind, I guess. I'd make it up to you, but I don't think I want to have sex right now." She didn't frown, but her brow furrowed just the slightest bit, the barest narrowing of her eyes. "How old are you?" He seemed very young, but she couldn't actually tell anymore.
