Chloe was learning the challenges and benefits of being here. As with every other puzzle presented to her, she charged in head first without flinching. Experience had taught her that this could and had led to trouble, but there was no Luthors here, no Brainiac. Here, her curiosity was to her benefit. She tossed herself into learning new things, where and how she could help, and what her physical limitations were.

Part of her education here was learning that in order to eat one had to hunt, fish and forage, none of which she had ever done before. Her idea of foraging was finding the perfectly ripe tomato at the Whole Foods. At least she could tell what fruits were edible, but she couldn’t live on fruit alone without some dire digestive issues. Fortunately, a moment of whimsy had her lay a challenge down to that massively flirty guy, Nick, and he’d let her know of his success. Amused, Chloe went out to meet him.

She found him near a fire and paused for a moment to get a solid look at him. Handsome enough. Runner’s build. Tall if she didn’t miss her guess, but then again everyone was tall to her. He had that bad boy edge that you couldn’t exactly define, but noticed. First Jack. Now Nick. Apparently, she had a type. Chloe shook her head at herself then continued on. “So what’s on the menu? Rock lobster? Sea bass?”

Nick was working his way through the last bit of his second fish and then moving onto the third, intermixing potato along the way. And somehow he managed to do it with a smile between bites, even with conversation going on. Nick couldn't help the small snort, though, at the joke. "I think that is definitely one of the big signs to look for." The werewolf winked.

"Never heard of Metropolis, but I'm going to say that this is better than most places, otherwise we wouldn't be here." Nick pointed out, semi-sagely, considering he was still nibbling at food as he went.

	"That's not the first time I've heard that," Chloe said after another bite. "Metropolis is the largest city in Kansas. Something like Chicago but with less of a gangster history." She chuckled. "It was big. Loud and sometimes smelly, but it was home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds like the opposite of the sort of place that I'd want to hang." Nick responded with a little bit of a snort. "No offense, but loud and smelly....no thank you." Nick gave a playful gesture toward his nose before moving to polish off his potato, and happily so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank god you're a country boy?" Chloe chuckled as she took a final bite of the fish. The meal was more filling than she thought it would be, and she set her plate aside. "Well with as sharp as you say your senses are I can understand that. I mean sometimes the smell and the loud gets to me. It would have to be ten times worse for you."

Nick snorted at her words, giving a shrug. "Maybe not full-on country, but close enough." He winked before going for a bit more of his food. Chloe definitely seemed to understand just how tuned his senses were. It was the sounds that always got Nick the most, though.

"Probably so. Being a werewolf has it's pros and cons." He could think of more than a few of the cons, actually. Nick shrugged the heaviness of the subject off easily, keeping his mood up, despite the reminders of home. He noticed, though, that Chloe was finished with her food.

Swallowing his food, Nick sat up straight, a shit-eating grin on his face before gesturing to the plate she'd just sat aside. "I think that means a job well done. And that I win the challenge."
