[bigdamnprincipal]

Since the area with all the informational signs was bound to get a bit clogged up, even more tables and chairs had been set up on the lawn, in a slightly different spot.

"I'm less new," she said, smiling lightly and tossing off a little wave. "So it's only just a tiny bit less overwhelming for me. Anything in particular throwin' you off?"

"Well, it was 1899 when I left Baltimore this morning," Jack said with a little grin (though his accent was English), "and it's a hundred and ten years later here. I think I need to understand that before I can understand anything else."

She winced. "Yeah, I can sympathize. I'm displaced only a few years, myself." She tilted her head. "Baltimore, Maryland, though?"

"Yes, but we hadn't been there log. We emigrated from Europe in March," Jack explained.

'We' was him and Sebastien; he missed Sebastien, and threw an idle thought to getting word to the vampire about how strange this school was. "What year was it for you at home?"

"1999," she said, shrugging. "Not too far off, by comparison. And I'm from Louisiana, so I'm not even too far from home geographically. Whereabouts in Europe?"

"We were in Spain last," Jack said. "My guardian likes to travel, though, so we'd lived all over the continent."

Jack had moved around a lot, for his age. There were good things and bad things about it, but there were likely good things and bad things about small town life, too.

"This is the farthest I've ever been from Bon Temps," she admitted shyly. "You're so lucky."

"I suppose so, in some ways," Jack said, with the shrug of one who wasn't sure how much good the travel had done him. "Is Bon Temps so bad? I've never been so far south as Louisiana."
