Privacy seems to have become quite the commodity these days.

Heh. Just what my week needs.

[Not that he is stressing out. He's becoming rather talented at hiding that.]

Where is rain or snow when you need it?

It's all in Europe, I believe.

Shall we sneak out the back?

...Not helpful.

[He sighs a little, before looking at Tegan oddly.]

We're allowed to do that?

[He doesn't really have experience with this.]

Well, it certainly beats the alternative.

Running through the streets with people chasing you?

I would hope they'd get bored after a while.

I was thinking more along the lines of having to stay here indefinitely.

[Holds out his hand, the offer implicit.]

So, shall we?

[This is cheating. But he smirks a little as he takes Tegan's hand.]

Still trying to be the knight in shining armor?

It's a little tarnished, perhaps, but still serviceable.

Besides, I don't hear any complaints.

I can't seem to think of a reason to complain.

Tarnished armor or not.

I'll try not to be too flattered.

Or too concerned.

Especially since I know you've been itching to try it.

What is the worst that can happen, really?

[But he takes that cue, letting the world around them slow until it seemed to stop. He tried not to smile, too. But that? Is a lot harder.]

Really?

[He gathers up his jacket.]

You could end up like me.

And what is 'like you' really? Because you've never explained that.

I don't age.

....What?

[He'll try not to run into the door as he stares at Tegan and tries to walk.]

....Ho-how did that happen?

[He shrugs.]

Your guess is as good as mine.

Should I be worried enough to not want to spend time with you?

I'm too pretty to live for forever.

[Laughing now, because, really.]

I think you're safe.

So....if you can't age....

How old are you?

As old as my teeth and a little older than my tongue.

[It's the same answer he gives Adrian whenever he asks -- a joke of sorts, even if he's the only one that probably finds it funny.]

That...doesn't even make sense, sir.

[But whatever. He's going to lead the way out of the restaurant. But unlike everyone else in this city, he doesn't need to bundle up the minute he's outside.

It means that even if I could tell you for sure, you probably wouldn't want to know.

Is this some sort of joke about how you're old enough to be my father, and I shouldn't have a --shouldn't flirt with you?

Darling, I'm the last person to tell anyone who they should and should not flirt with.

[If nothing else, it'd make him a terrible hypocrite.]

But it's a part of who I am. Something I can't help.

I...am seriously going to go to bed. I swear.

Sleep is for the weak.

Dealing with people requires sleep so not to throw things at their heads :| Just saying

This explains so much.
