Icarus smiled at her and nodded at her words. "Brilliant. I haven't eaten in ages... Thank you."

"I work at a cafe, I could get you some coffee and a muffin, if you’d like," she said and gave him a gentle smile. "I’m Jade by the way"

"But… surely, you can’t be —"

"Yeah, it’s called Roseland, little town in New Jersey. Are you alright?"

"I'm Icarus." He said, offering a small smile.
