Jill noticed the boy color up but she wasn't too sure why he was embarrassed. She saw him looking around at the people who had been staring at her and wondered if that was it . Maybe he was just introverted, she thought. Only now had she taken a good look at him, noticing that he was carrying a bag almost filled to its maximum capacity, threatening to burst open any second. Was he travelling? she wondered.

As she made note of this, the boy started again , fiddling with his fingers. [i]I have to make it up to you somehow[/i] he had said, but she didn't really feel that way. After all, she was safe and sound and it was just a silly incident that he couldn't have seen coming. She had made up her mind to refuse any money or items the boy was about to give her. [i]Would you like some food? My treat.[/i] Food was okay, Jill decided. She could accept that. In fact it was about time she ate something, she was [i]starving[/i]. Jill had been working since the morning and after the ruckus at home she had forgotten completely about eating. This often happened with her. Whenever she got too absorbed in her work or upset, she'd ditch meals. Not on purpose entirely,however, as she was a complete foodie and could wolf down a worrying amount of food within a minute's notice.

She beamed up at his offer and nodded. [color=orange]"I'd really like that! I haven't had a morsel since the morning and its already noon!" [/color] She complained with a dramatic show of clutching her empty belly and staggering as if she had no energy to stand.

[color=orange]'I'm Jill by the way, Jill Wayland. What's your name?"[/color] She asked with an extended hand. She was a social butterfly who had never had much difficulty getting on good terms with most people. Her chatty personality helped her with this, as she was the kind of person who'd never run out of things to talk about.The downside however, was that sometimes her mind-to-mouth filter was almost nonexistent.
[color=orange]"What's in that bag?" [/color] She asked him straightforward, unable to hold back her curiosity. [color=orange]"Are you travelling?" [/color]
