Name was only dimly aware of the comforting, yet deathly cold, hand on his shoulder his mind was still a hurricane of unpleasant thoughts. Yet he looked up at Lou, by all regards a complete stranger, attempting to cheer him up. And then Name looked at Autumn, tiny, sweet Autumn with her bandages, still playing with the Chinese handcuffs. Seeing them made Name feel a little better, and his hands stopped shaking as much. Name gave Lou a weary smile and said, "Yes I suppose it is. We don't we go make some future then?" Name asked.

"well you do, I...i need to know what the past is in order to accept the present" He responded with a sad smile. He could tell, this man had a story like he. Had he been a better man, he'd probably have used a better phrasing to make name feel better. "I...I'm lou, by the way, er, atleast that's what I found in my wallet" He responded to himself, patting the left of his chest to show where it was. He then turned to look at the small one. He hoped she had yet to hear any of what they had said to one another. Removing his hand from the vampire, he placed it out to shake.
