A car pulled up and she leaned closer, yep it was Kieran. She waved and moved down and got in the car. "Hey." She smiled. "Oh yeah, I've been there. I think." She said as she shut the door and pulled her seat belt on. "Thanks for picking me up, walking would have been a little depressing." Ana joked lightly. "It's fine, I'm not in the mood for anything in particular so don't mind me." Ana assured him. She glanced out the window and then back to the driver. It seemed there weren't a lot of people out on the streets which was good. For once parking, shouldn't be a big headache. As they neared the restaurant and parked, Ana wasn't sure how to approach the outing. They weren't really friends, but at the same time, she was getting the sense that this wasn't a romantic interest either. Would it have something to do with business? She really wasn't sure and was rather confused, but at the same time, glad to get out of the rut of a routine for a while. And she sensed nothing distressing with Kieran so she didn't think there would be an issue there. If he did anything weird, she'd probably be able to handle it. Or hopefully defuse the situation with words. Anabelle wasn't a big fighter, she would rather stay out of conflicts if she could help it, which was a perk of being an only child, no petty arguments. "So are you from around here?" Ana asked him as they headed inside and were shown to a table. She just had a feeling that he might not be from around the area, as he seemed a little lost in terms of keeping up with the city's vibe. "I haven't really traveled myself. I mean, this one time, my mom and I drove down south to the beaches but as it turns out, I don't like the ocean for some reason." She shrugged a little as they were given water and tea, along with their menus. Looking over the selections, she decided to go with a simple carrot, broccoli and green bean chicken combo of stir-fry. "I guess I'm a city girl at heart." She commented. - - - She took the bait, which was better than him having to leave, feeling guilty about messing things up for her. But then again, he didn't see her lasting much longer at the establishment. She would be a crazy fool if she really saw herself doing that until the day she died or was probably killed by spiteful clans who hated magic. She came back and introduced herself as Ryhs. He sat up and pushed himself around to shake her hand. "I'm Devon." He told her. He couldn't help but hum a little. That name sounded oddly familiar to him. Why? "Huh?" He caught up to what she was saying, pushing himself out of his own pool of thoughts. He could get lost in his own mind forever, let alone someone else's. And that was dangerous too. He had heard stories of people like him who let their minds wander too far or dive too deep into other minds, and they went mad. They lost themselves or worse, there were rumors that their minds became hollow and would become a puppet for anyone to play with. Devon was trying to be careful but you could only use so much caution before people got suspicious. "Sure, it might be better if we did stick together. For a while. If we must part ways, I won't take it personally. Let's hope it's an amicable one." He said thoughtfully and smiled up at her. She joined him and mentioned she had something to eat, he had kept the bread and some of the wine from the inn. He did have some other staple goods on him, a handful of rice, some dried berries. He didn't have any protein but they were by water. Why not fish? "I have some leftovers too, we can share. We are partners now." He said. He did have a storng moral code, well not strong, as so much honest. If he took someone by his side, he would look after them. It wasn't right to go along in a group and only look out for yourself. He got up and walked over to the lake and looked down. It was clear in some areas, murky in others. "I've never tried entering the mind of a fish." He mused. "I don't intend to get stuck there." He dismissed the idea and turned back to the girl, "Looks like it's bread for now, hope that's okay." Devon smiled.
