West could still remember how he felt when he approached the foreign lady. It had been playing in his mind all afternoon. And then the moment tomorrow came and she was there again, standing in front of him, he felt it once more. Something he'd been avoiding his whole life.
Loneliness.
It was because of it that he went after her. She was new, alone, and exhausted. And maybe it was that he hated seeing others feeling the same way that he once did, but it was as if she was calling to him. Her mouth pressed shut but her expression was something so familiar. Helplessness.
A stranger in some unknown world.
It was the same as Ruben's.
He walked up to her, letting her try his favourite food at his favourite cafe. Not that he had been staying in Eldham for too long, himself, but he had been in town for a week now and he's pretty used to it already. Helping a fellow traveler wouldn't be a problem to him.
Plus, he could convince her to watch their show.
