[She listens, trying to formulate answers for the inevitable questions to come. She can't tell him the whole truth--that would be far too dangerous, considering how loose-lipped Jake could be. But she doesn't want to completely lie to him, either. That just didn't feel right, not even after so long.

Her expression is both polite and genuinely interested. She laughs (silently) at his quip about Indiana Jones. These are actions she's done a hundred times over with people she likes much less than Jake, and for him they're sincere. He's a good guy. That much didn't seem to have changed.

A knowing nod is her response to the last bit. She never gets letters anymore. There had been a few, when she'd been in Switzerland. Close friends had her address, and she had even sent some herself. Now it's just the occasional postcard (without return addresses) to places she isn't even sure are occupied any longer. Nill reaches out to pat his arm; it's okay, she means. She knows what that's like.]

((His head turns, and he smiles through the long face..))

Ah yeah; s'pose I deserve as much either way. Even fame has its price!

((He slouches back, knitting his fingers together and twiddling his thumbs.)) So tell me, what exactly puts you in this airport. I reckon you're on this here flight, too? ((...)) Alright, lemme guess. Are you...

Off to learn to tango with a great white? Or planning to break into the first National Bank with a ballpoint pen? ((...)) I dunno, Nill, you got the pretty face to be hiding something like that in you, ((he winks.))

Alright, alright! How about... You've a trained goat waiting for you in the States, ready to preform tap dance. C'mon, don't make me guess again!!!

[She listens, not even trying to hide her amusement. As much as she hopes that none of his fans see him talking to her (that would lead to so many questions, and notice she'd rather avoid), she isn't exactly attempting to keep her face hidden. She can be open for a little while, she thinks. Especially with Jake. He'd never done anything awful to her.

You got the pretty face to be hiding something like that in you. He really has no idea, and that makes her laugh, though no sound leaves her mouth. Her pretty face had gotten her out of more scrapes than she could count over the past few years, that was for sure.

At his final plea she shakes her head and takes out a pen and a piece of paper from inside her coat pocket. She leans over, scribbling on the armrest between them, and offers the note forward:]

Just paying a few visits. What about you?

[adventureboner]

((Jake takes the note to get a better look at it. For a moment he means to return it, but then takes it back and pulls out a green pen.))

Oh, just a show to preform, is all. A couple, if this one goes over all right!!

((When he returns the note, he's written the location and time, plus the note "Tell them J invited you".))

'Case you find a bit of free time in your schedule. ((A smile.))

[niveous]

[Her hand is halfway up to retrieve the paper when he takes it back. She waits patiently, curious. He doesn't have a reason to write, so he must be giving her something personal. An address, a number.

She isn't entirely wrong, and it makes her smile. Nill nods, and folds the paper carefully before tucking it into an inside pocket of her jacket. On a whim, she reaches out to place her fingers lightly on his arm. She hopes he remembers her power, but in case he doesn't, she inclines her head slightly and gives him a moment to recall. When she does respond, the voice in his head is faint, quiet from long disuse.]

I will definitely make time.
