Chance smiled more easily as Lyric gave her name. It was so pretty and matched her well. But she seemed younger than him and was a human so it didn’t matter how pretty she was. He’d be lucky if his escorts let him see her again, especially once he was properly settled in and being established within the Family and whatever his new jobs would be. That was a bit sad to think about, especially with how kind Lyric was being and the way she peppered him with questions that had him laughing and wondering if he was actually supposed to answer any of them but figured he’d try anyway.
“No, I graduated high school last year,” which was mostly true. He would have graduated then if he had attended a proper school but with his illness and how his life was promised to defending Rafe and his Family, Chance had been home schooled; if it could be called that when vampires took turns teaching what they thought he should know. He had an odd smattering of history he knew well, math and English had been drilled into his head, and various other areas that they all dabbled in, learning together. It was kind of fun.
“And no, I’m not here to see a movie, though I was planning on it another night now that I know it’s here. I just wanted to get out and thought I’d explore a bit.” He made note of the suggested movie though as it sounded like it could be fun. Cruella Deville had always been one of the scarier Disney villains and her theme song still lingered in his head years later. He actually started humming it lightly as Lyric checked her phone before realising he was doing it and quickly stopped. That was probably weird.
“You want… I… I’d like that,” Chance didn’t think a girl he had almost knocked over would be so friendly and then trust him enough to walk with her, even if it wasn’t very far. His first day out in the big city was going fairly well so far! Sure he kept feeling like a fool and sometimes he felt a small urge to get a little closer to her neck but he’d kept everything in check!
