[It seemed safer in here than out there, although just in case, Johnny got up and stacked a few crates right around the open flaps. If anyone wanted to come barging in and interrupt them, they would have plenty of warning.]
Heh, I'm sure there are others out there like us. [Was he going to try and find them? Heck no. Not when all of that was happening right now. His head was starting to clear up a little, but he still felt uneasy. Aroused, when he had no reason to feel that way. Gaia was attractive, but he wasn't some skeevy pervert that wanted to jump someone he barely knew.
Despite how he looked, Johnny was actually pretty hard to kill, thanks to all the Malice inside his body. He had even been fatally stabbed by Killer, and it just awakened the being within him. He was resilient for someone his size and age, especially considering the fact that he had been dead for five years before his father revived him.]
Your dad was smart to do that. Lenny doesn't want me to fight, but I don't wanna sit around and get hurt if something happens, you know? [He shrugged a little.] It isn't safe everywhere in the world.
Do you need this? [He held up his jacket, offering it to her.] The ground's kinda hard. You can sit on this, if you want.
Yeah, I get cases all the time. I mean, some of them are kinda dumb. People are always asking me to find lost cats. I don't just wanna do that all the time.
[His eyes widened with surprise at hearing her possible career options. This sounded like a strong-willed woman on a mission.] Dead or in jail? Who wants to kill you? Man, I didn't know girls could join the CIA. [Bodyguard duties was more for men, as sexist as that sounded. It was just unheard of, in his time period.]
You got that- [Her touch, brief as it was, threw him off-course enough to forget the rest of his sentence. When she moved her hand away, Johnny reacted without thinking and snatched up her wrist within his fingers. He realized his own action after a few seconds and let go of Gaia, apologizing sheepishly.] S-sorry...
