She covered up again, which pretty much confirmed his suspicion about her being allergic to the sun or something. He knew he had read up on it or at least read about it somewhere while he was enlisted, as there were those in his unit who were sensitive to the sun and heat. They had to wear a special tag along with their normal dog tags. For while, it was not really the best thing to have when being in the military, it was not enough to disqualify them.<br/><br/>Waving to Samuele and his wife, both of him had looks on their faces like they were seeing their son off on his first date. Another time, he might, just might have said something to them, but Lily did something that distracted him. The light caress of her fingers, felt like, truly he could not describe the sensation. Soft and yet heavy at the same time, his skin sensitive, every place she touched feeling like it was set a fire. Burning, tingling really, the sensation lingering even after they had moved on, till they finally fell away.<br/><br/>When was the last time someone had touched him like that? Meaning when was the last time that he had allowed a woman to get close enough to touch him, in such a way? Not a motherly love, but a simple caress. It had been long enough that he could not remember offhand, then again there was plenty in his life that had made remembering hard.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF40FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Lead the way."</span></span><br/><br/>Smiling he nodded and took the lead like he had before, opening the door and holding it open for her to exit. Pizza box in his hand, the pair of them walked side by side down the street, Tobias pointing out what of the sights of the city that there were to see given his somewhat round about way of getting around. He had a particular destination in mind, though it had been something that he had passed by on his own several times. It was a place that he felt Lily would possibly enjoy, at least that was his hope.<br/><br/>â€œHmm...should be getting close....â€he said suddenly, what little bit of idle chit chat they had been doing had lapsed for a moment, leaving Tobias free to muse aloud. Stopping he stood there, looking about the area, checking the street signs and the landmarks in his mental map before a smile grew on his face. â€œThis wayâ€ he said nodding down a rather deserted looking street, coming to a stop outside of a set of stairs that went down to a lower level store front.<br/><br/>â€œHere we areâ€ his smile genuine excitement as he nodded for her to go ahead of him. Glancing down the steps, displayed in fine old English Style Font on the glass front were the words, â€œOnce Upon a Time...â€ It was a bookstore that Tobias had went into once, just to see what it was and while he was not really much a reader, at least not very often, she had mentioned it. Seemed like a good place to take her and it was a place he had been meaning to go back into but never really had a reason before. Now, today, he had that reason. Her name was Lily.
