He had more than enough to feel bad about at this point. There were some people looking, he even saw someone point when she took his hand. He put together in his head that people would talk, and this would get misinterperted. People would say she was being romantic with the stranger in town. At least, he hoped that's what they'd think. He hated the thought of them suggesting that she would be doing anything worse. But he knew people. And it was possible. For now, it couldn't be helped though, and it didn't matter compared to getting out of there. She was upset and confused. And he knew what it was like to have no answers on something like that. She needed someone to tell her she wasn't alone. He scooped up the thermos in between his arm and body and the cup in his free hand and lead her out of the cafe, it was for the best.<br/><br/>He didn't let go of her hand, he felt awkward holding it, but it was a good thing. It was assurance, and he needed her to feel assured. "Like I said, that wasn't you. You couldn't help it. It wasn't your fault." Dimitri said, he stayed close to her, but in the end he didn't know the area, so he let her lead him. "It's just something you couldn't control. I guess, consider it an instinct that you haven't learned to ignore. But I swear Melody, that isn't on you. You need to know that." Dimitri spoke softly during this, but also firmly, to assert that what he was saying was the truth. They got to an area with a small lake, trees and dirt nearly surrounded it. It made him smile for a moment.<br/><br/>Then he suddenly got nervous, maybe part of him was hoping there'd be people at the lake so he wouldn't have to show her. Surely enough"I've never really told a girl this... there was a man, once, who'd already proven to me that I could tell him without judgement..." Dimitri began. "I knew him even shorter than I'd known you before I revealed it to him." He rested the cup of water and the thermos on the ground before he took a deep breath and let go of her hand. "It's probably better that you don't get too close in case you get surprised. Just, don't run." He said, sounding sincere. He raised one of his hands up, and slowly and shakily, a small section of the water began rising slowly until it was no longer connected to the body of water. It was real slow, but Dimitri kept his will strong and his arm shook from the stress and the water continued to him. He let his grip go though, and the water splashed, leaving a ripple in the water. All he offered when he turned around was a stare.
