@0COMPROMISE β Oh... Walter, I don't want to be a burden to you...
She looked at him, slowly took his hand and smiled; she was tired of living on the streets and feeling like she was never safe, she could barely sleep at night out of fear.
β Okay, I accept, but... I don't want to +
@0COMPROMISE β No, I usually sleep in abandoned cars... But it's nothing serious.
She saw him smile; it was the first time he had done so in her presence, and she couldn't help but smile too.
β I think that's a great idea!!
@0COMPROMISE β I work in a bakery, but other than that... I try to survive on the streets and help catch criminals.
She shrugged, looked at the menu, and smiled.
β It looks really good, I think I'll like it, actually I eat everything.
She said to him, now looking at him.
@0COMPROMISE β Thanks, Walter!
She said, looking into his eyes, that she didn't feel intimidated; she felt quite comfortable around him.
β So I'm happy, no worries, I can feel it... What would be the same as always?
She asked; she wasn't very selective, but she was curious. +
@0COMPROMISE She smiled, gently caressing his face; she didn't want to be intrusive.
β Can I call you Walter? It's up to you.
She blushed slightly as she said that and then looked back at him. He seemed to carry much suffering and pain in his gaze; she wasn't an angel, but +
@0COMPROMISE β I'll only leave you if you want me to... But it's just a memory, but I intend to stay by your side...
She watched intently as he removed his mask and smiled, holding one of his hands.
β So now who am I looking at? Do I already have the privilege of knowing your name?
+
@0COMPROMISE Lilly sat down opposite him, noticing some glances, and sighed.
β I like the way you think.
She looked at him, reached out to hold his hand.
β You are a good person, I don't judge what you do.
She reached behind her back, pulled out a white feather, and handed it to him.+
@0COMPROMISE if he gets disgusted with her? She sighed.
β Violence kept me alive when I needed it... I don't like it, but using violence doesn't make you a monster.
She said as she entered the restaurant with him.
@0COMPROMISE He seemed to be a well-respected person there, she felt safe.
β You talk as if you were a horrible monster, you're not that. You're different, you didn't see me as a freak... In fact, you still haven't seen my mutation.
She shrugged somewhat tensely, and what +
@0COMPROMISE β Okay, you can call me Lilly! Lillian reminds me of when the nuns used to get mad at me... I was always punished by having to kneel on corn kernels.
She shrugged.
β Well, I enjoy your company, and if you enjoy mine... we can always eat together.
She smiled, looking at him.
@0COMPROMISE She understood how he felt; she had lost many people herself and she always blamed herself.
β Okay, you lead the way! I didn't ask your name, I'm Lillian, and you?
@0COMPROMISE β I'm still not sure I understand it, but it doesn't bother me, and it's quite beautiful.
She stepped back a little and smiled, looking at him.
β I haven't eaten anything yet, how about having lunch with me?
She slowly touched her hand to his.
@0COMPROMISE Lilly gently touched his mask with her fingertips; it was cold and made her shiver, but it was different.
β It's really pretty and soft... I liked it.
She said, looking at him, still curious.
