(as of this post the thread is open)
Aria wasn't completely comfortable that Lucas' paid for the check. It felt like she was mooching. Victor gave her enough of a family discount, but she still felt uncomfortable, this wasn't a date. Aria had no idea what this was, or what they meant to each other. But Victor and Marie had a pretty big idea of what THEY wanted it to be. Marie whispered all sorts of questions to Aria, most of which Aria didn't answer. They were starting to encroach upon her personal space. The need to be gone was strong. Aria waved stressed good-byes and hoped Lucas hadn't felt like she was dragging him out the door.
Family was all well and good, but they were a bit much and Aria didn't really want to be prodded like some experiment. This was her life and she'd do as she damn well pleased. Though the Atharim probably would have a lot to say about her seeing a guy who didn't know anything about what she did. The danger it could present to her, the organization and not to mention him.
Lucas thought she was cold. While her legs could be warmer she was fine really. Aria shook her head and looked up at him. "I don't want to go home."
She thought about it. She didn't want to go anywhere specific. She had work to do back at headquarters. Aria wanted to read up on her mother's missions, specifically her last one. Who had she been sent after? Why? And if it were her last mission could the man who broke in really be her father.
Aria smiled. "Walk with me?"
Aria liked being in Lucas' company, it didn't matter what he was to her. He was safe and caring and a friend. The first real friend. One who cared enough to help her, to see that she was someone, not just a tool to be used. It meant a lot to her that Lucas wanted her to trust him, she only hoped she'd not let him down. She knew the power of her desires, her hunger. She was going to fail, but she would fight. She would make sure to not become the person she knew she could be.
