Sofie smiled a tight smile as she watched the exchange happen before her. And then the offer to switch places with Ed came.

She moved, touching Ed slightly on the shoulder as she did so as a kind of thanks.  Acts of kindness had never been extended to her much before and she had vowed to herself that from her past on out she would make sure she’d give thanks to any good thing she came across, as they were helping her live one day longer. 

Sofie sat down on the warm seat beneath her and rubbed the cloth of her sweatshirt between her fingers.  She had still not taken off her coat yet but she was cold.  She hoped it wasn’t rude not to take it off. She knew nothing much of formalities anyway. 

As she sat there silently she let herself take in Ed.  He held himself in a very noble manner yet seemed quite humble.  He was handsome, she supposed but what really striked her was his eyes.  Deep dark red.  He was important she guessed, someone who was really distinguished from the common folk like Bergson.
