Tobias doesn't like Metropolis all that much, but it's not as bad as it could be. After all, it's not really a... metropolis. Not a bustling one. Sure there are tons of refugees, but that's just a drop in the bucket of what the city is designed to handle

Metropolis is a big place.

A place everyone, even not bird-people, has to get out now and again.

Which is why there's a petite, blonde, dressed in tight jeans, a thin long sleeve shirt, walking through the ruins outside of it, wandering further and further from the ruckus of civilization.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

He recognizes her. Sort of. He swoops down for a closer look, sweeping by twenty or thirty feet overhead.

[tobeclosetohim]

The shadow catches her eyes where it cross the second time and she looked up, shading her eyes with one hand, to watch the bird in flight.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

He whirls and flares, flapping hard to hover in place for a moment to make sure she can see him.

Jo's not a naturist, but she's gotten slightly used to how Rachel can take a form and make it for a moment more and less than what an animal would be like.

It's not Rachel but there's something there that makes her pause.

Then raise her hand and wave once, a sideways movement.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

Tobias slowly lets himself drift downward and comes to a landing nearby.

[tobeclosetohim]

"Hey."

It's polite even if she doesn't expect anything in return.

He is though getting a glance over since he's sitting. For a bird, she supposed he wasn't too bad. Even if she probably couldn't pick him out of a group.

(Yet.)

[whoiwasmeant2be]

He blinks at her in silence.

[tobeclosetohim]

Jo's hand is hooked half in her pocket.

But her mind is on the gun tucked in her jeans.

"It is you, right?"

Because she really doesn't want to be talking to a real nothing.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

He bobs his head in acknowledgment and agreement.

[tobeclosetohim]

"Oh. Good."

Jo shifted her weight on her feet (and was quite promptly not as focused on how far her weapon was from her hand).

"You doing okay with, you know, everything so far?"

There's a gestured blaise wave with her free hand on everything.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

Another head-bob.

he asks without preamble.

[tobeclosetohim]

Her shoulders tense, but then relax.

It's a different voice than shes had before.

"Long enough." Five months. "Why?"

It's not defensive. If anything, it's protective.

[whoiwasmeant2be]

The way his wings rise and fall might make someone think of a shrug. It's a very un-birdlike gesture.

[tobeclosetohim]

It really, really is.

Jo's head tilted, eyes narrowing on him with wary curiosity.

"You worried about her?"

[whoiwasmeant2be]

Tobias has had plenty of practice, so it isn't hard for him to convey a challengingly raised eyebrow with tone alone..
