Completion Status:
Despite not knowing exactly what was going on with Benny's friend, it had seemed both upsetting and odd enough that Logan hadn't wanted to take the risk of it putting Benny in a weird headspace where he'd hear the word 'Kelpie' and think 'abduction'. The unexpected upside was that by the time things had settled, the weather had turned pleasant enough for Logan to grab a premade picnic hamper from the farmer's market that they could eat on the pier itself after their 20-minute bike ride across the river. They'd munched their way through the savoury snacks, catching up on what was going on, Logan teasing Benny about the guy whose number he'd got at the gala and telling him all about his encounter with another of Ram's friends.
While they waited for their food to settle before moving on to cake and fudge, Logan looked out across the water at Tarrytown. Despite how easily Frankie's anger had washed over him, something they'd said had left an impression, making Logan wonder if he'd be more useful somewhere other than America. Pushing aside thoughts of the future, Logan focused on the past he'd been meaning to tell Benny about for a while.
He'd spent some time thinking about how best to approach this. What he didn't want was to make it seem like a big deal when it shouldn't be. His age and his origin changed almost nothing about how he and Benny related. If it weren't for the stories about kelpies, he wouldn't even be worrying that it might. "You know, almost nobody in this town has figured out what kind of non-human I am." Logan flashed Benny a sheepish grin. "I think you've had the most clues."
