Benny nodded in agreement. Nic was right, really. Right in more ways than he probably understood at that moment. Benny only traveled because he didn't have anywhere else to go, no one else to stop him. He didn't have anything tethering him to a specific place and was too afraid to forge a relationship that might ground him. He couldn't stop train-hopping. It was what he did. It was how he existed. He looked toward Nic as his hand absently stroked the little furry body in his lap. Normally he was afraid of animals---even small ones like this. But she seemed sweet. Docile, even, at the moment.

He glanced up, pushing up his glasses as they slid down his nose. "Yeah... lonely." He hadn't really thought of that until Nic brought it up. He looked around, measuring the distance between them. It wasn't much. And it was odd. It had been quite a while since he'd let anyone near him physically. When he caught Nic's eye, Benny opened his mouth to speak but couldn't quite find the words he wanted. Maybe he didn't like having his personal appearance pointed out. He bit his lip and turned his eyes down to the little orange body on his lap.
