The bus ride was uneventful, which Kai appreciated. He looked forward to sitting with Elira, maybe asking about how she had moved the rocks without touching them, something he wasn't going to ask of someone he had just met at a remote beach on a cold day. It sounded like the lead up to finding a body or something.
Vauxhall Market was busy, but that was normal. Their breath puffed before them in the cold, as if they were making clouds, and being inside would be preferred. Kai didn't mind it too much, but he thought Elira would feel better being in the warmth.
“Its usually busy, because the food is good and varied.” The bus roared off, leaving noxious fumes behind, like a cat peeing on its territory. “Let's go, the air is nicer there, too.”
As he had on the beach, he extended his hand. “This will help us stay together,” he said, cheerily stating the obvious.
