[ Some things found their way into the Quarantine somehow, so who's to say. Seen as Jim currently had the actual PX70 motorcycle that belonged to his father, it was entirely plausible that her father's book would show up here. In any case, Jim would be perfectly happy to read it while at Victor's place, or to just let Lucy read it to him instead. ]
If you don't mind doing that, then I'd like that. I'm curious about the world you come from.
[ He was curious about any and all worlds out there, actually, but hers and Victor's particularly, for the personal connection most of all. If she was willing to share, then he sure wasn't going to say no. ]
I think we all do. When we really care, we try to do everything we can for the people that are important to us.
[ And Victor was important to him. The thought was a little scary, when they'd really only known each other such a short while, but it was a weirdly good kind of scary. Certainly nothing that could surpass how happy Victor made him feel. ]
Me too, Lucy. But... [ He inhaled slowly, then sighed. ] This is your home too, now. Wherever you two end up moving. As much as I miss Victor, and want to be with him, I'm only going to come over when I know you'll actually like having me around.
[ Not just tolerate it, or begrudgingly accept it. That wasn't going to be enough for him. Especially when he knew that in the long run, it'd likely only make their relationship even worse. ]
So— that's why I wanted us to talk a little. Learn a bit about each other. And in the spirit of that, if you have any questions for me, about my life or my world or... well, anything at all, you can ask. Anytime.
