That's precisely why I should be here. [If there was too much going on? Then something was clearly wrong, and there was no better place to be. She knew his mannerisms, that rub to his face, the way he was exhaling too hard. Something had the man spooked.
And that up-and-down gaze? Well, that was familiar too, thought it was slightly different when he did, and she wasn't a scientist, she had no idea why it was different; she just knew that it was. She let him have his look, though she didn't know that this door? Was having that same little itch that home was. She'd gotten used to it now, that thrum beneath the skin that never left, no matter what she did to soothe it. Stealing things helped, but once the rush was gone? There was the itch, and she'd just accepted it now.
Just like she'd accepted that her run over here? Worried and not even bothering to hide it? That was emotions overflowing, and she wondered that people had nothing better to wish for.
She followed him into the bedroom, sway, and she edged past him to where that bag he was packing was. She dragged her fingers along the line of open zipper, her hand blocking the bag's opening.] Why don't you tell me why you're running?
