BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge- Saturday morning

A few days ago Gwen saw New York destroyed and drowned and her friend/roommate/surrogate brother type was presumed dead for a while- got a really amazing obituary for his alter-ego and everything. Today she was waiting for a portal that was going to take her to a school in Maryland. She was actually looking forward to school, just to get back to doing normal things again, but the timing was weird.

She seemed to be the first one here, and the banner meant she was probably in the right seat, so.

Gwen would be the sullen-looking girl sitting under the glittery Fandom High banner and showing too much midriff. And occasionally brushing at the top of her head with her hand because she was convinced the glitter was probably raining down on her.

Yeah, so the neck scar thing was kind of eye-catching. Evie had no idea how he'd gotten in, but she was pretty sure she'd figured out why this kid was waiting to go to Fandom.

"Morning," she drawled. "Still waking up?"

"Yep." Travis nodded and stifled a yawn. "What gave me away?"

He had a few guesses of what gave him away but maybe he was projecting more exhaustion than even he thought.

"Well, you just fought back a yawn," she pointed out. "Besides, at this time of the morning, the only people who aren't still waking up are the bright and cheery early birds. And I don't think you're one of them."

"Not even close," he said, half smiling and rubbing his face to try and wipe away some of the exhaustion. "A friend just drove me here from Kansas so I tried to sleep in his truck which didn't work really well. I haven't eaten anything either so I'm struggling right now."

"If you want, I can run over to the food court and see if I can't pick you something up? Won't take me more than a minute," Evie offered. "I'm from Louisiana, so feeding people is kind of a compulsion, you know?"

"Uh, are you sure?" He hadn't expected an offer like that and the gentlemanly part of him wanted to say no but his stomach was saying otherwise.

And it continued to be so weird that the first thing people talked to him about wasn't the scar on his neck. He liked it.

"I mean, I can go with you, if you want. So I don't feel like a complete jerk for making someone I don't know go get me food."

"Sure, if you want to," Evie said. "I mean, I probably wasn't gonna get more than a breakfast sandwich and a sweet tea from McDonalds or whatever." She smiled at him. "You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the hospitality out of the girl."

"I can walk with you," Travis volunteered. These days, he kind of liked just walking considering he'd been unable to do that for awhile. "Pay back your hospitality with...well, I was going to say my company but that makes me sound egotistical and stupid. Pay back your hospitality with...some hospitality of my own."

Still sounded lame but it was less lame than the first thing he'd almost said.

"Well, good," Evie decided. "This way if you decide you'd rather have coffee than sweet tea, it means I get extra."
