[Elliot nodded, following her into the diner. His hands had by this time slid into the pockets of his hoodie as he sat across from her. He was trying to look not as crazy as he knew he'd been looking the last couple of months.]
[The waitress came over, asking what they wanted to drink. Daisy immediately ordered a cup of coffee, but also a glass of water. Knowing it would come with ice.]
[Elliot ordered a water quietly, though he really wasn't hungry or thirsty. He could go for a smoke but settled for drumming his fingers against his thigh.]
Because the food is cheap and I'm a terrible cook.
[Because she doesn't have a stove in her van that she lives in, and she's on the run.
Their drinks came quickly, and then the waitress asked if they were ready to order. Daisy got her regular, burger and fries. The healthy option, obviously. What? There's lettuce and tomato on the side that she rarely ever puts on.
Once Elliot orders what he wants, or doesn't and the waitress leaves, Daisy goes fishing in her glass of water for the ice. Putting it in one of the heavy duty napkins that are on the table and wraps it in there before handing it to Elliot.]
[He wasn't that great at cooking either but then again he didn't really eat that much either. He ordered some toast -- not much the big eater and he's not particularly hungry after getting jumped.]
Thanks. [He said quietly taking the wrapped ice and smiling a little.]
Are you working on anything...?
[He made a bit of a face when the ice pressed to the sore spot on his jaw.]
[Elliot kept the ice to the skin despite the discomfort. It was a bit unusual to think of the girl he remembered not working on anything but he didn't think twice about it.]
[That's when he hesitated and tried to decide if he should tell her or not. It's not like she was a stranger but he was pretty sure it'd been a long time. Was she still trustworthy -- then again was anyone?
Instead of trying to wave off the question or answering it, he stared at her, watching her prepare her coffee. Maybe he could read the answer to his dilemma that way.]
[Brows knitted together, Daisy looks up when their food is brought to them. She thanks the waitress and waits until she's out of ear shot.]
....Yeah? I feel like I'm missing something. I mean, it's been like that for as long as we've been alive.
[She got into hacking to try and find her parents and while she considered herself a hacker. A great one, actually. There was parts of hacker culture she didn't quite get.]
[Elliot thought about it, leaning back in the seat and he studied her. He really had no reason not to trust her. She seemed much the same as he remembered but there was also something different about her. He couldn't be sure what. There was a different look in her eyes.
But he'd changed too.]
Let me think about it. You're staying in the city for a while?
[That's just life, isn't it? Every day things can change someone, but drastic stuff? That really changes you. Daisy's had a lot of drastic life changes.]
For the foreseeable future, yeah.
[She noticed the way he hasn't touched his food yet.]

[There's a diner up ahead and she hasn't eaten all day.]
You hungry?

Date: 2016-08-22 04:16 am (UTC)[It wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He glanced at the diner and then nodded.]
Sure... I can treat you... for saving me or..whatever.

Date: 2016-08-22 04:19 am (UTC)[Or AC. It's pretty balmy out tonight.
Stepping inside, Daisy took a spot at her usual table.
Yeah, so, she's come here before. She practically lived here when she wasn't in her van. Or, you know, saving people.]
You been here before?

Date: 2016-08-22 05:12 am (UTC)No. I don't get out much. You come here a lot?

Date: 2016-08-22 07:16 pm (UTC)Oh. Not really no.
[That's not really a lie, but it wasn't anything that needed other people involved.]
What about you?

Date: 2016-08-23 05:12 am (UTC)Yeah. Something pretty big.

It's kind of a vague plan.
(no subject)
Date: 2016-08-30 10:08 am (UTC)[Elliot clarified.]
I just don't know how much to tell you.
[His eyes went down to the food in front of him but he had no appetite.]
I don't know if I can trust you.. but knowing something makes you responsible for it too.
(no subject)
Date: 2016-09-11 04:06 pm (UTC)[Now more than ever. But she needs to be a part of something.]
I know my word might not mean much, but, you can trust me. I want to help.
