Brows lift as he goes on. Coincidental guesses, or facts as he claimed? she felt exposed, but not bothered. Such attention to detail was fascinating. Not the usual topic for small talk. Odd, but different and interesting, which Laurie appreciated, luring out her curiosity towards him, releasing the tension. After finally getting the hell out of Haddonfield, Illinois, he is the first to pay more than necessary attention to her there. Why to avoid people and let her spoil a chance to start things over again in this new location.

" Wow. Well. Can't smell a thing if I am honest. Sometimes I tend to read too much into things. " Tightness around corners of the mouth vanishes, her grin changing from forced into something more genuine - stretching a bit more as she briefly glances around. She continues with warmer tone, joking lighthearted. "For real, didn't expect to stumble upon a body language expert today."

Shoulders lift and drop with a sigh. Why to even bother and deny it. Would be better she just didn't leave an impression of an awkward one. " Well, got me, though. I am, indeed, a bit overwhelmed. See, a new environment, different energy, much more... extroverted that I'm used to. Still, I like it here. Really. "

his shoulder rises & falls in some attempt of a shrug -- eyes that squint, briefly, as they take her in whole. scent, appearance, voice. he makes a mental note of everything. call it a bad habit. johnny hums, briefly, as he listens to her speak -- commenting on his observations. perhaps a little TOO on the nose than johnny would've cared to be, normally. WHAT'S A LITTLE STRANGENESS?

❛ blame my upbringin' for the good sniffer, ❜ johnny laughs, lightly, as he makes light of himself. ❛ ain't nothin' wrong with readin' too much into things none either. human nature. some people overthink, some people underthink -- & some? they don't think at all, i think, ❜ smiles with his lighthearted comment. his brow perches.

❛ well, ❜ johnny starts, pursing his lips briefly. they grow into a toothy grin. ❛ i think you're doin' just fine. 'm local, yeah, live more on the countryside. you ought'a take a trip out to the rural side -- easy to clear your head & feel like things are gonna be just FINE, ❜ from experience. from the days he'd escape from his own home, to seek safety & hope for something different. for the amount of people who laid burrowed deep upon the wildflower farms.

❛ give it a couple weeks, i'm sure you'll fit right on in like anyone. glad you like it so far ... though, i am serious. should totally check out the backroads & the rural side. there's some places you can stop & enjoy. not to sound like some MINDLESS HIPPIE, but can be one with nature & not worry 'bout a damn thing, ❜ johnny suggests.

the  young  vampire's  amusement  is  distinct  in  the  expected  way  her  grin  starts  to  spread,  predatory  in  its  curvature.  human  eyes  gleam  likewise,  leaning  against  the  fine  edge  of  the  bar's  countertop.  nearly  forty  years  of  practice  by  now,  and  the  hunt  was  still  as  thrilling.  @johnnysslaughter  seemed  to  have  stumbled  into  her  lap,  so  unknowing,  yet  she  sensed  a  kindred  spirit  inside  of  him-  smelled  it so sweetly-  without  him  even  speaking.  friend  or  a  simple  meal?  she  wasn't  sure  quite  yet.  .  .  however,  she  was  intrigued  all  the  same.

soft chuckle escapes from the borough of his chest, his soul. words that were initially a tease being met with similar energy -- matching, in a way. fingers press into the cool glass, liquor that swirled in circles by circular motions of his wrist. eyes seem to focus in onto her, company that he had watched for mere moments prior to approaching -- taking details into memory that, otherwise, didn't seem too important ( to johnny? every detail was important ).

❛ can't say i'd be complainin' now, ❜ honey southern drawls naturally -- because he didn't see a need to be FORMAL, necessarily. maybe a gut feeling. maybe just a casual meeting. FORMAL didn't look the best on him anyway.
