I mean, if it was dark then we wouldn't really have an audience?
[ As soon as the rebuttal left him, Diego corrected himself. ]
Don't mind me. Kissing you is addictive. The walk will cool me off.
[ He gave a low chuckle, hoping she didn't find him pushy. Diego quickly switched gears to what she said about being cautious. ]
I can walk you home when you have to stay late. My s-brother can take care of himself but... [ Diego didn't want Viktor to end this world too. ] ...I still meet him when he's got a late shift. Safety in numbers.
[ He gave her question about being proficient with knife throwing some thought before responding. Diego was more than proficient but he didn't want to scare Rey off. A part of him realized he'd have to tell her more if they were really going to try for a serious relationship. His eyes had moved from their path ahead to the floor momentarily then glanced up at Rey. ]
I've been training since I was young. Our father made each of us... train since we were little. I've just kept up with it more than my brothers and sister. Dad wanted us to be heroes and save the world like his own group of Avengers. We lost Ben on one of the missions and our father blamed us for it so I left home a year later, when I was seventeen.
[ What he shared was barely the tip of the iceberg but Diego thought he should start somewhere. Maybe she'd reinstall the dating app when she got home. He couldn't blame Rey if she did. His eyes were a mix of sadness; being shorted a childhood and missing his brother. There used to be anger at his father but that took a backseat to the memory of Ben. ]
