Yesterday had been a bad day. She hadn't meant for it to be, but it had ended up like that anyway. She picked at her food, finding that she wasn't really hungry. After months of barely being fed, the initial knee-jerk reaction of wanting to eat everything had faded. Now it was back to what it had been before her life had been turned upside down.

And when things went downhill, so did her appetite.

She was mostly ignoring the salad in favor of her math work. Back at her old school she had often worked ahead, which gave her more time to read things she'd rather be reading. She wasn't quite to that point here, still playing catch up from her headaches. But she was trying. It beat spending too much time thinking about what an idiot she could be.

	"I'm fine," Lorna said, "really, you can have it. I'm not hungry at all. And blue eyes are a bit different than this, but stranger coincidences have happened," she said, "Like us both ending up here, I suppose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Where else would we end up?" he chuckled, trying to make her feel a little better than she sounded. "This is the only place that publicly accepts mutants - it's the only known safe house, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a large country," Lorna noted absently, "And a bigger world. I mean, the rest of the world can't be as bad as here. I always wanted to go to France," she mused, or back to, as the case may be. "There has to be more than one place, but I'm glad I ended up here. I mean, I wanted to go back to school." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It doesn't change the fact that this is the only known safe house accepting mutants. Publicly - which makes it easy to find. You could have gone to France or another part of the world, but you didn't," Doug pointed out with a shrug. "You came here. Because it was the only one you actually knew of. That's the problem with secret safe houses... they're secret and therefore, hard to find."

He grinned at that and finally set down his fork to offer his hand in a proper greeting, "I'm Doug Ramsey. I should have probably done this sooner."

"Actually, I was brought here by the person who got me out," Lorna said, "If I hadn't been, I don't know what would've happened. I might still be there, or be dead, given how that building met its maker," Lorna mused.

"Nice to meet you, Doug. You already know my name," she finished. It did put her at a bit of a disadvantage, but that was okay. He seemed friendly. From what little she knew. It wasn't like she was any expert in how boys acted.
