It's good enough.

Nancy blinks at her. "Why are you thanking me? Would've been a lot harder without you. Thanks for helping."

Karolina lifts one shoulder in a half-shrug.

"It's just nice to get out of the Bar," she says honestly. "And I've never seen London before."

Nancy snorts, quietly, as Dr. Constantine nods to them from the reception desk and they turn to walk out.

"Should've been here two years ago. It was a lot nicer then."

"Lots of things were nicer two years ago," Karolina replies.

"You were still with your parents then?" she asks, looking at the other girl surreptitiously.

"Yeah," Karolina says, glancing down. "And we didn't know what they were."

"It's easier that way sometimes", Nancy says quietly. "Before things change."

[skyhighlucy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Karolina says quietly. "Guess everything changes, though."

Nancy smiles sadly as they come up with the waiting boy, a prudent distance away.

"That it does. Come on, Tommy, we'll take you home."

Karolina grins and offers him a hand. Not for support, just out of friendship.
