[ The call had been...odd, to say the least, but after John asked where she was and hung up she just sort of went about her business. Said business was scolding Veles for telling the entire city about her problems. Problems she had pretty much gotten over. Being reminded hurt. It was like every time someone mentioned Alairr. She would just look back and sulk and it sucked, but she got over it.

Being that he was cheating and flying, she didn't hear him until he shouted, and ended up jumping in surprise. She spun around to face him, and despite the call and the obvious hint that he was coming to see her, she didn't expect it. ]

John? What're you-- Is that why you wanted to know where I was? Is something wrong?

[The look of surprise has a wide smile spreading on his lips, buckteeth protruding over his bottom lip as he stifled some giggles. He stops when he's close to her, nodding and then shaking his head.] Yup! This is why I asked, I was looking for you! And no, nothing is wrong.

I just wondered if it would be okay if we could hang out? [It's not obvious, but he's still nervous when it comes to talking to people. He was starting to get use to talking and spending time with Rose, and it helps having all that time talking to her over chat.

Still, he was trying, and he was doing a good well hiding it. Other than the obvious sometimes excessive talking, and constant giggling. He kept calm however, still smiling.] I wanted to do some more exploring, and you did say I could ask you anytime right?

There's also a secret I wanna show you!

[ She just sort of stared at him for a bit longer, slowly making the connection to the post Veles had made. See, this? This is why she didn't want him to say anything because now she thought people were going to worry about her. That was the last thing she wanted.

It was nice though and she had only just met John so maybe he was just...being a good guy? Hell, he might not have even seen the broadcast for all she knew. So she smiled back at him, nodding. ] We can hang out, I'm not really doing anything today, and I did say that!

[ Bwah--] A secret?

Alright, good! [Look, you made him all the more excited.] Come on then!

[He starts to move, but only pausing when she mentions the secret. He looks side to side, possibly to add a mysterious effect to his words. His words quiet down, almost to a whisper.] A magician's secret!

Heheheh, but we'll see about that. First I need to stock up on a few things. [Not a second later, he's floating a bit in the direction he had come from though turning to make sure she was following.]
