She watched and listened with a quiet support air about him as he psyched himself up to go out. She could tell how much he really wanted to go outside and was more than happy to help him with this. He seemed like a frightened caged bird to her that wanted to fly for the first time. She hoped that one day he would truly spread his metaphorical wings and fly. One day she was sure he would garner a sense of self confidence and be able to walk outside without fear. She smiled as he opened the door and spent a few minutes making sure the locks were locked and secure.<br/><br/>When they had headed outside he instantly stayed closer to her. She resisted the urge to hold his hand and make him feel safer but she was his bodyguard. Not his girlfriend or even a close friend. Though she did hope that he would become a good friend with her, and since she would be living with him the thought of him seeing her as a friend would make this living arrangement more comfortable. There were a few people outside either enjoying the day or going to work who kindly waved to her new employer. Most looked a little more surprised to see him outside more than seeing her with him. That hardly matter to her though since she was there to protect him and what better way to do so then to be seen as a non-threat.<br/><br/>When he thanked her for taking this little trip with him she smiled warmly, â€œIt is a pleasure to accompany you outside on such a nice day. Walking outside is an uplifting event, no?â€ She smiled brightly but all the time she took in everything around her without seeming to. She noticed every person on the sidewalks; even the woman resting her head on a pillow outside the window to catch a cool breeze; and those getting in, out, or driving a car. So far all she saw was vibrant green leaves on sparsely placed trees. Well trimmed grassy areas and neat rows of apartment buildings similar in size and shape to Lukeâ€™s.
