“Sometimes sleep comes in handy,” Nocturne agreed with a small smile. As expected, CJ took the opening and Nocturne didn’t argue it. He wouldn’t ask her to stay or even ask for her number. It had been a nice break in the day and sometimes that’s all people ended up being to each other. There was still something to the young woman that made him want to know more and to befriend her but maybe that would come if they ever crossed paths again. He would then know that they were meant for more than a moment of sharing ice cream and names.
“Thanks for the conversation, Cassandra-Jade,” he replied to her own words of gratitude. Nocturne gave a parting smile and a little dip of his head in saying farewell before he turned to leave first. He didn’t want to undo all the goodwill between them by having CJ think he would follow her home or into an alley. So he left first, making his way back up the grassy area and then along the short path to where his motorcycle was parked. He didn’t linger, still working under the decision to not spook potential new friends that he wanted to meet again sometime. Besides, it was still too hot out despite the cold treat and he wanted to get home and cool off properly in the air conditioned house like the spoiled brat he was.
