"You can have mine," She said, wishing she could just hand them over. "If I didn't mention anything about what you've done, they'd take you in two seconds flat."

"No.. It wouldn't feel right.." he said softly.

"That's fine, I was just making a harmless statement." She shrugged, fiddling with her hair.

Skye fell silent after that, not sure how to respond, particularly since he personally didn't feel that it was a harmless statement.

"Man, I'm worn out." She mumbled, rubbing her face. "This day has been too long." She admitted to herself, not bothering to look at him. She had noticed he had gone oddly quiet, but wasn't going to say anything about it.

Skye hummed in response, not really giving any kind of answer.

“When can, and when will we get a move on from here?” She asked, throwing an arm over her face.

"Depends on how quickly the heat dies down a little." said Skye.

“Well, I guess we’re stuck.” She sighed, rubbing her face. Her dark hair bounced lifting her head.

"Pretty much.." said Skye in response before falling silent again.

"Why so quiet?" She hummed, looking over to him.

"Thinking…" he said softly, "Nothing more."

"Really? Well what about?" She questioned, turning to face him better.

"Nothing in particular.." he said with a sigh.

“Nothing at all? Well that’s a shame.” She admitted, acting more upset then she was.

Skye hummed softly to himself, "Why did you chase me down out there anyway?"

"I- don't know. It was just… impulse I guess." Connie guessed, not really having a clue herself. "There was no real reason behind it."

Skye nodded, letting out a soft sigh.

"I do that a lot, speak or act before thinking." She mumbled, knowing she had done it again. "I can't even control it."

"You probably can" said Skye softly, "Probably just haven't figured that part out yet."

"Well when I figure it out, you'll be the first to know." She said sarcastically, tightening her fist as soon as she had said it.

Skye hummed softly in response, just wanting to sleep this nightmare away.

Connie fell quiet too, feeling embarrassed. This boy obviously had much more experience than her, and she was trying to boast at nothing. She was clearly a wreck, and he knew better.

It wasn't that Skye knew better, but more the fact that he had the experience of staying away from the law for most of his life.

Connie rubbed her face once more, feeling awkward in the silence. "Should we… like go to bed?"

Skye hummed softly, "Possibly.." he said, "Are you tired?"

"I mean… kinda yeah. But I can stay up if you need me to." Connie responded with a shrug, holding back any signs she was actually incredibly tired. Though of course he would know, so why bother to hide it?

Skye shrugged, "If you need sleep I really can't stop you…." he said softly.

"I can stop myself. I stay up late really often, if you need to not be stuck in one place, I can stay awake." She muttered, running her fingers through her hair. "But if you're going to bed, I might as well."

Skye gave a soft sigh, "You may as well go to sleep then…" he said softly.
