Not How That Works

[Lucy James]

"I suppose so," she replied, an amused smile forming on her lips. He was incredibly agreeable. It was both amusing and... curious. She wondered if that was how he really felt, or if was as he'd stated before; another act. Though, Lucy was hardly one to judge. She knew all about deflection. She knew exactly when someone didn't want anyone prying on the demons lurking behind those solid walls they'd built up around themselves - assuming he'd done the same, of course.

At his next words, Lucy fell silent. Only for a moment, but it was silence nonetheless. Normally, the brunette didn't give her name out to just anyone, but there seemed to be a lot more to the boy than what he gave himself credit for, and with all these people lurking about, finding out her name wouldn't be that hard. She'd might as well save him the hassle. "That you didn't," she replied without skipping a beat. Her eyes never stopped studying him with caution, as if he was a caged lion; safe behind bars, but one false movement and all hell would break loose.

Her hands came up to rest behind her neck. "Lucy. Do you want my social security number while we're at it too?"

[Nico Martell]

There was a moment of silence there, with Nico looking at her. He was tempted to just shrug and head off. Again: you couldn't force these things, and if she didn't want to give it out, there was no point in wresting it from her. Though that beat only lasted for a moment before she gave out the almost casual response.

Which had him shrugging slightly again. Wasn't like she owed it to him, or, again, that he could force it. He watched her hands move, and then heard her give it. Lucy. Seemed like he should know a Lucy, but he couldn't think of any off the top of his head, so he just opted for a light nod at the name, though the other part.

Nico laughed at that, shaking his head. He got the joke though. "Identity theft's not my thing," he offered, adding another shrug. He nodded at her and raised a hand. "Nice meeting you, Lucy," he was already turning, ready to head off with his life. After all, nothing keeping either of there, and they had enough to find each other. Wasn't like there could be that many Nicos running around.

"Good to know," she replied through pursed lips. She watched him, even as he spoke again and then made a move to leave. Offering him a quick nod, the brunette leaned back against the wall as she once again crossed her arms over her chest. "You too, Pablo," she added with a sly smirk.

Whatever was to come of it, she was certain it would be an interesting ride for sure. Even if that meant she'd never see the boy again, though, something told her that sometime, somewhere - as sappy as it sounded - Fate would make sure their paths crossed again.

Pushing herself from the wall, Lucy turned around and started walking down the opposite direction of the boy; well, this day had turned out to be a little more interesting than what she had first expected. Who would have thought?
