"Yeah, it was. For a little while. Things changed. And I just so happened to find red a lot better than white. That, and you didn't trot away when I saw you." Dimitri joked. He wasn't the greatest at it, but he did it anyway. Anything to get her to smile. The white deer he thought he might have read about from somewhere. He was very undetermined to catch it, if myth served to be fact anyway. Chasing after Melody was much more worth while. He was helping someone who needed him at this point. He did have to admit to himself, he wondered how short lived it'd be. Once she was safe and happy, he might ebb from her mind. Not that he saw Melody as selfish. But still. Sometimes that's how people were, they only cared for one another while it was convenient for them. He hoped Melody wasn't like that. His parents certainly proved to be.<br/><br/>"You'll be fine. I promise." Dimitri assured once again. He didn't think he'd get in any danger. Water and him worked out pretty well. But he appreciated the concern. "I think that's a great idea, for you to cook. If you want to, that is. I don't need any special treatment though. It's your call." Dimitri said, continuing to listen to what she had to say. "I didn't realize you lived alone. I'm sorry, that sounds lonely." Dimitri said. During his time growing up, he'd lived in a fairly small house with two people that loved him very much. He put a hand on her shoulder. "I mean it, I'm not just saying it, I'm sorry you have to live like that." He said, giving her a quick hug before pulling away. He was starting to get used to hugging her. It was actually kind of nice.<br/><br/>"Ah, so, rumors spread..." Dimitri said, he put some pieces together in his brain. "Which means a good number of people saw me and you enter the cafe. Then we sat down together, you cried, and I hugged you. And you took my hand and we walked out." Dimitri said, considering other people's point of view. "I'm sorry if that's going to make things weird to explain for you, Melody." He said. He looked back to the water, gently willing ripples and the occasional swish of the water. It was nice to have some kind of control, even if it wasn't massive.
