[goddamn if that wasn't endearing. normally he'd ask why the world decides to drop the cute ones into his lap like this, but he's not going to argue or question it this time. clearly he must've done something right in a past life for it to happen so often. or, maybe the world is finally taking pity on him after everything else.]
The feeling is mutual, sweetheart. But, you don't have to stop gushing on my account.
[because it's fucking cute, okay???]
Though I'm a little shocked that you turned up in Junon of all places. And... relieved, if I can be candid with you. I would've had to call in a favor if you were on the other continent, not to mention it would've taken me longer to get there. I can't...
[oh, shit, right. he did say that julian would see her soon, didn't he?? god, he's getting distracted here. tilting his head back, his eyes flick towards the bike tucked up against the curb of the sidewalk.]
It must be good fortune! I didn't know where I was headed and didn't ask. I just got on the first ship for "away from here" and never looked back.
( who would have thought he'd be boarding an interdimensional universe-hopping plot ship! this is going to be a wild ride, clearly, but luckily he's not foolish enough to ever have assumed at any point in his life that he couldn't continue to be surprised by what's out there in the world.
and speaking of wild rides... julian's eyes point every which way at the mention of "she" before he finally catches on to what roche is talking about. oh, yeah, the... red metal beast. )
Is that... is this the "girl" you were referring to? I... uh, she's... hm. For quite possibly the first time in my life, I've met a lady I've got no idea how to talk to. You'll introduce us, won't you?
Just talk to her like you would anyone else. That's what I do, anyway.
[is it weird??? probably yeah kinda, but who doesn't talk to their vehicles in traffic or in bad weather? whatever, it works and it's a good way to bond. and stuff. he looks from julian to the bike, back to julian, and tilts his head a little in thought. roche isn't about to go hog wild right out the gates with him, but still.]
Delilah'll treat you well, I promise. Her bark is much, much worse than her bite.

She can't drive across water. Unfortunately.
