Part of her really wanted to tell him everything. About who she was, where she was from, what she knew about him and how. Mel didn't even get to tell Erin who she was fully until Harth came riding down the street on a huge demon.

In Mel's opinion, more people should think like Julian. He was a great artist, and an awfully nice guy. She smiled.
"So where's home?" Mel asked. She figured she could talk about stuff, just a little. "You don't talk like everybody here. And Magda's kinda... surrogate parenting you."
