While he mainly ventured shielded within the cloak of his shadows late at night, Benito enjoyed far too much of the scenic beauty that adorned the ruins of The West. It wasn’t something he could see well in the darkness, or even something he bothered to stop and admire when he only ever stepped there for business but that day brought him just before the sun fell allowing him to examine the intricate artistry of its community. A wasteland in comparison to some of the other parts of the island, but in its destructive chaos surged its people’s voices. Murals and graffiti canvased most buildings, elevating the torn down brick buildings and weathering steel. 

“  I mean, it’s something.  ” he commented, to no one in particular as he made his way towards the edge of the rig where a bottle of bourbon, along with his company, awaited. “  You got any special talents that I should know about?  ” Benny asked, offering her a smile as he gestured to the painted buildings just behind them. He hadn’t noticed how lost he’d been in them, enough to have left her side at some point for nothing more than to admire the walls. There was too much happening, and even more to wait for and the deafening silence in the atmosphere made the hair on his neck rise. Something was coming. He just knew it.

“  Certainly, you love to hear yourself talk, no?  ” he spoke in obvious jest, though his intonation - to anybody but Jia, of course - would have effortlessly come off rude. Their movie had barely begun, and yet he’s missed more than he’s seen. Between chowing down the buttered popcorn, stuffing his drink with some edible gummies he grabbed on his way to her place, and the excessive narration of the very film they were about to watch. “  What’s the point of watching, when I got you right here?  ” he continued, feigning annoyance in a single glance in Jia’s direction. 

It’d been a long day. Longer than most in recent times, but Benny for once didn’t want to go to his house. Didn’t want to shut out the world in its entirety, so allowing himself one warm body made do for the remainder of the night. “  Unless…  ” Benito grinned, putting down his bucket of popcorn as he leaned back into his seat, as he said teasingly, “  Did you get me here under false pretenses?  ”
