Brian stood in a stunned silence for a moment. His entire mind had overloaded for a moment, taking in everything he had heard.  Bella's words had registered somehow in the back of his head, and suddenly a torrent of things flooded into his brain.  It was as though he had amnesia and suddenly he was remembering everything.  It was overwhelming, and would take him a moment to regain his composure.  It hadn't helped that Bella kept looking into his eyes that entire time, for when she did it almost made him feel mesmerized.  He would never tell her that of course.<br/><br/>Brian blinked and then shook his head lightly, "My apologies miss.  It feels like I was a blind man mere hours ago and now I can suddenly see. There is so much to take in, to understand.  The 20% of my brain that I can actually use is going into overdrive," He said to her with a smirk as he referred to what Bella had told him.  He realized he was looking at someone in charge, not just by the things she said, but her very demeanor.  "As for the mundane bit, I take no offense to it.  That would be as foolish as getting offended because someone said I had green eyes.  I'm a mundane, and while that isn't a good thing, its what I am and what I will gladly embrace as a part of me."  He said to Arleen, looking at her eyes.<br/><br/>He thought for quite a few moments about what he would say next, but it required little thought.  It was the most obvious question and it was the one right out in front with the most important.  It was also an extremely simple question, that anyone would have asked in his position.  Brian gave a heavy sigh and bit his lip before asking, "Why me?"
