Dilan stared out the window while she spoke, unable to bring himself to meet her eyes at first. Then, much to his own surprise, he smiled, though he still did not look at her. "I suppose that's true. Paradisa is a strange place... so much can happen in such a short time. It's just.." He laughed faintly, but it was a sad sound. "Before Paradisa... my life had begun to slip into a sort of seclusion.. so this is all very strange for me. I suppose I'll get used to it as time passes." He finally looked at her, and his smile was grateful now, for reasons he couldn't even begin to explain.

Anzu, too, reminded Dilan of someone he'd once known. A girl he'd once saved, whose kindness, even after years of knowing her, had always stunned him.

"I don't?" he asked quietly, without even really meaning to. He took a breath, then murmured, "I think so. I hope so. I mean..." He gestured vaguely. "... before I arrived here, Anzu, I think I'd almost forgotten what it was to be human. But others, like you, have reminded me." Then he suddenly laughed, and it was a more genuine sound. "I realize how strange this must be for you.. my asking you here to talk about something so ... odd. I truly appreciate it. I wish there was something I could do for you in return." He sighed, shutting his eyes momentarily. He was already recovering, yes, but even this small conversation was tiring him, though he hated to admit it.

[OOC: Gah, I'm really sorry for the delay. D: Don't worry about replying to this, if you'd prefer to wrap it up? Thanks for the logging, though!]

Anzu returned the smile. Although she hadn't missed the tone of that first laugh and some of the things that Dilan had said a few moments ago made her curious, she wasn't going to ask questions, even if she wondered what Dilan's life might have been like before he'd come to Paradisa.

"Don't worry about it." She shrugged slightly and shook her head. "You don't have to do anything, Dilan, I didn't come here to talk because I was expecting something in return. Just be careful, all right? That guy you were talking about sounds really dangerous."

It wasn't something she thought she could say much else about, since she wasn't involved, but it was pretty worrying that fights and things like that had been happening more than once around here.

And Dilan had also said that drawing was hard for him like this, so she hoped that it was only a temporary problem. For someone who knew how to draw like that, not being able to draw had to be difficult, right?

Anzu knew that she wanted to get back what she'd lost. It felt strange, suddenly being almost completely uncoordinated when it came to even simple dance steps.

Anyway, if drawing took too much energy right now, maybe that meant it was better to let Dilan get some rest. Anzu smoothed her skirt down and stood from her seat. She smiled at her new acquaintance. "Thanks for letting me drop by for a visit. Take care, okay?"
