Reid supposed he could have chosen a place just slightly farther away from Graymark Books than Petros Park but in all fairness, it's a very nice day outside and it'd seemed like a neutral enough meeting site when he'd suggested it to Hild via text this morning.

If it means it'd given him the chance to stop by to see Luke and take his friend a cup of coffee, so be it. Whether he'd needed to bring along the sandwich from a particular deli Reid had gone out of his way to visit isn't a necessary topic of discussion and anyway, only the customers in the shop who'd seen him and said hello upon recognizing him know that so he doesn't know what he's getting so internally worked up about as he wanders toward Hild at the particular bench near the fountain he'd mentioned with rapidly flushing cheeks.

"Hi," he greets, holding out another coffee cup to her that he plucks from the tray in his other hand--because he's not so completely blinded by the feelings he's not talking about that he hadn't thought to get a beverage for Hild, too, just in case. "It's black coffee, I don't know if you like that. I like tons of sugar in mine, so I brought extra just in case. Have you had coffee yet? I definitely came straight from the cafe and stopped nowhere else."

He frowns at himself, narrowing his eyes before nodding toward the bench and falling into Latin. "I am going to... just sit. And while I do, you should tell me how you are."

"Yes, I will," Hild said with certainty. Like all her prophecies, this statement was made not by magic but by observation. Spencer was straightforward and earnest in his ways, honest to his core. It was not as if he had sworn an oath to her just now, but he would treat it as such to an appropriate, natural degree. What's more, she was the only one he had spoken these thoughts aloud to. Though others might suspect his feelings, she was the only one he knew would not be surprised but solely pleased at his news.

Hild laughed at his question and did not avert her gaze in a coy way. She merely shrugged, unperturbed and turned her coffee cup where it sat on the bench before her.

"Caught my eye? Yes. Taken any other part of me? No. As I said, things are different here than they are back home. I'm sure I could take someone to bed, if I really wanted to, but those that I do admire more than most..." Hild pursed her lips in annoyance, not at them exactly, but at herself for being unable to deduce what they wanted. "I do not feel they are interested in me."

She laughed when he turned her words around against her. It was not the same and Hild would have argued it if she did not understand his meaning and if it were not advice she would take. Spencer had strong feelings for Luke and vice versa; they knew each other well, even if this obvious fact was lost on both of them. They knew what to expect from each other, could forgive each other's flaws and missteps. They walked an unfamiliar path, but side by side, though they did not know yet that the other was there to reach out and touch. Hild was almost entirely in the dark.

However, she knew how to dispel that darkness and had no fear of it. It might slow her, but it would never stop her full out. She could ask, try, be bold if she truly felt the desire. For now, she did not. She wished often for another warm body to share her bed. Loneliness loved to catch her at night in this way. But that was fear of being alone, and she refused to let fear control her.

"Mm, yes," she said, her smile slight and amused. The city's preoccupation with arbitrary age had not escaped her. "If I find someone who believes I am too young, I will just have to convince them otherwise," Hild decided. "I am known by some to be very persuasive."
