He hadn't noticed the stain on her dress until she stood which furthered his alarm and made him wish he had something to tear to pieces just to feel better.<em>Son of a bitch</em>. Woe be to the next person who pissed him off.<br/><br/>"Yeah, sure, we can talk now. I never have much to do on the train anyway, you know how it is," he said, his voice softening even as hers did. He took her arm and wasted no time steering her out of the car and away from the scene of all the vitriol. It was bad enough she was on edge about going back home and to have all this unloaded on her on top of it was more than anybody should have to put up with. He just walked with her in silence until they reached her compartment and then hesitated a moment, trying to figure out how to ask this delicately. "I know it's...uh, not exactly good manners but would you mind if I came in for a few minutes? I'd rather not have to worry about eavesdroppers."<br/><br/>Wasn't he turning into quite the Chatty Kathy around her lately? But he was sure he'd piss her off again soon and he could go back to being all stoic and terse but for now she needed somebody who wasn't going to judge her. the irony of standing outside a woman's door asking to come in wasn't lost on him -- he'd never been the sort to do the asking before but the telling, and cunning enough to only choose women who would let him get away with it. Just another thing Chloe had turned upside down.<br/>
