Arright, my outlet converter has gone missing. Might've fallen out on the ride from the airport.

How am I supposed to charge my mobile now? I rather need it if I'm going to start looking for a new ... everything.

[there's a pause as the fresh face takes a deeeeep breath and exhales slowly, before smiling]

Right, I'm sorry, that's the absolute wrong way to go about introductions, isn't it? Hullo, my name's Ellie, and I just started getting these ... other memory things. I still feel daft saying it. But I don't suppose any of you have any advice for someone needing a flat here in the city? Apartment. You call them apartments here. I bake. I cook. I'll pay you in food. I'll walk your dogs. I don't know. I'll something.

Oh, he's going to move in with our cousin, soon ... Suppose I could always have him help me find something close. See that, you helped after alll. Sometimes all I really need to do is whitter on for a little while and I come to it.

[mail, ugh. no. she's such a social creature and she's starved for it in this silly little Best Western she booked]

I could eat. How 'bout I treat you to lunch? 'D cover the cost of that converter and tube fare.

[John laughed a little; he liked Ellie! She was pleasant and a bit funny. Truly, he'd met more amiable and interesting people in the past two weeks of being Different than he had in all of his years as a student and a professional. Oh, he had a few friends from those days that had stuck around...but most of them were still in England.]

Aw, you don't owe me any lunch for this! But I won't say no to getting out and having it! I'm up near Columbia University - that's northern Manhattan. Tell you what - give me the address you're at and I'll come to you, and we'll have lunch and I'll give you a whirlwind tour - but only if you're in Manhattan - I'm shite with the rest of the boroughs.

[He's already putting things in a backpack, including the converter and his wallet, and reaching for a light jacket, but he flashes her another cheeky little grin.]

Shall I set them up a log?

Yeh, it's just a little hotel. M'cousin Anthony has this great huge place he's trying to convince me to stay in, but ... mm. Bit posh for me, and my half-brother doesn't care for it, so there's eggshells, if you follow.

[she'll text him the address of the hotel]

A tour sounds like a lovely way to spend th' day. I'll see you soon?

YES Please set them up a log! :D

Oh! Well, I mean. You can't beat free real estate in this city. It's none of my business, but if you can get a place to stay that's rent free, I highly recommend it. It's expensive to live here.

But! None of my business; you have to do what's best for you.

[He inputs the address of the hotel in his GPS and starts to gather his things.]

Great! I'll meet you there in half an hour-ish. Traffic is a bit meh around here.

[seawalled]

Just enough time to freshen up. I'll meet you in the lobby!
