Tim clicked through the photos she had on her laptop, the memories of the tunnel rushing back almost instantly. His face lit up as he went through the photos, remembering how excited and interested he was in the runes. "Oh, wow, these are still really neat." He said, smiling and shaking his head in awe as though he were discovering them for the first time again. He clicked through all of them, looking at each individual rune closely, trying to find some sort of similarities between them, which he failed to do for each. After a moment, he put the laptop down on the coffee table in front of him, turning to Sophia. He was visibly excited. "Do you think they have something to do with the crystal hole thingy?" He asked, moving closer. "Oh, that's probably it." Sophia replied. "They all probably revolve around the hole thing. Actually, I think...yeah, I might have a picture of the hole on there in a different folder, here, lemme show you." The two both moved in at the same time, going for the track pad. Sophia got there a moment before Tim did. Tim, however, had his eyes fixated on one of the runes on the screen of the computer, and he absentmindedly put his hand on top of Sophia's. There was a moment of absolute stillness. They both knew what had happened, but neither made a move. Slowly, Tim looked down at his hand. HE noticed that his hand was a bit bigger than hers. It was concealing most of her hand, but her fingertips were still exposed. He felt his cheeks starting to turn red, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He didn't feel _horrified_ at all, and it surprised him. Slowly, he turned to look at Sophia. She did the same. The two of them made eye contact, and neither of them said a word. His hand was still on top of hers.

Tim turned to her when he heard her talking about the runes. He got a little less nervous, and his body visibly relaxed as they started talking on the subject. He sighed out a bit, rubbing his arm a little. "Oh, yeah, right...um, I tried remembering what those looked like, but I uh... I couldnt really remember that much after we left the cave. I um... yeah, everything is a bit of a blur? Like... everything from the car to my apartment, um, It's... it isn't all there, y'know? I wish I could remember what they looked like..." He was relaxing a little more, yet at the same time, he looked a little... sadder. A little disturbed that he couldn't recount his memories. "Were you able to find out anything at all, even a bit?" he asked, sliding just a little bit closer to her.

Tim was still keeping his body recoiled a bit, just trying not to touch too much of her stuff. He knew she didnt want him to do so, but he was just really uncomfortable in this place still He wasnt used to it, it was nothing like his apartment. "U-um... yeah, sorry, I just... dont...want to mess anything up...heh, I'm trying...um... I dont want to ruin anything. Uh, we could just watch TV thats... yeah, thats what we can do..u-um, sorry."

Tim pushed his shoes against the wall, hanging his coat up along with Sophia's. He was nervous. This was all brand new to him, and he wasn't sure how he was going to handle it. He looked around the apartment, still standing in the main entrance as she walked away and into her bedroom, then the kitchen. He stumbled as he answered. "Ah, u-um, no, I'm fine! Uh, I don't need anything!" He said, his voice wavering a little. He had never been in another persons apartment before in his life, let alone one that looked so nice and easily damageable. HE didn't want to move, he didn't want to touch anything. He shoved his hands into his pockets, making his body smaller, avoiding contact with everything that his body would allow him to.

"Um... I... don't... decide things. You can choose." Tim had started checking around the pockets of his new coat, looking for anything that had been left behind by the previous owner, so he wasn't really paying complete attention to the questions he was being asked. Though, he would probably give the same answers, full attention. "I don't care, we can do either one, its fine with me."

Tim shifted in his seat a bit, shrugging a little. He mulled over the question a bit. He was hungry, that much was true, but eating out was a lot of work. But, the food court was so close... "Um... could eat. I dunno, I'm fine with anything, really. Food is just, y'know, good, generally. Anything works for me!"

Awesome, I'm just gonna wait a bit longer, see if there are any others who want to be a part of this!

It was your everyday, basic one story mall. Nothing fancy, but it did have some pretty nice stores in it. Tim and Sophia wandered around for about an hour, walking through the shops and large hallways. Sophia bought Tim a new coat, of course. A green military jacket of sorts from some old thrift shop that Tim had picked out. He thought it was a very good choice. So, the hours passed, and eventually, the two sat down on a bench for a rest. "Heh... this is, um, fun." Tim said, crossing his arms as he leaned back in the bench, his head lolling over the back edge. "Very...busy day, though. Bustling, even."
