Meg flinched at the fabric touching her wound. It wasn't really deep but it stung like hell. ”I’m fine. Not my first time being scratched.” she hissed a little from the pain. ”Nice hit, by the way. You alright?” she asked as she checked him for any injuries.
He woged back to normal and there was just a nasty bruise on the right side of his face "Thanks but I'm fine. THat looks like it really stings…my place is…" he looked down at the wesen who was out cold at this point but still didn't say exactly where he lived so close to him. "…It's close by. I can clean that up real quick."
”Yeah. You look like you could use some ice too.” she gestured to his bruise. ”That’s actually why I'm here. I had a feeling something was gonna happen so I was looking for you to offer you a ride.” she explained, pulling out a small note pad. She wrote a quick note and signed it with a bit of a flourish before slipping it into the unconscious Wesen’s hand.
"Alright that sounds good…man he didn't even seem to flinch when looking into your eyes…" Theo told her as he followed her to her car "Liver is one hell of a drug."
Meg smirked a little with the unhurt side of her face. ”Yeah. It's been a while since anyone did that. Granted, he was pretty ticked off cause of the drug so, doesn't count.” she said, a soft sigh following her words.
Theo followed her the rest the way and got into the passenger seat. He told her the apartment building he lived in and buckled in "Well I suppose you're right." he grinned a bit, even if the side of his face ached when he did
Meg gave him a half-smile as she turned on her car and turned down the radio. ”Ya know something? You're the only Wesen who has ever kept smiling at me even after you found out what I am.” she commented as she started driving to his apartment.
"Well you're not a bad person…you're only doing this stuff to help people…you're not like the stories I've been told." he shrugged a bit "I mean you just came back and helped me escape a brawl with a drugged wesen…you're in fact…a really good person."
She didn't take her eyes off the road as he spoke but she was touched by his words on how he saw her. He wasn't wrong either. She did try to help people, even if it was a thankless task since everyone else ran away from her. But she couldn't believe that every Wesen was a threat… It didn't make sense. Were her ancestors that prejudice?
”Thanks, Theo.” she said softly.
"No problem." he told her, looking over to her, looking into those dark pools that were Meg's eyes. While it was strange to see his true self in her eyes he didn't woge this time, for as crazy as it sounded…he felt safe when around her.
This time, she did glance over and caught him looking at her. As she pulled up to red light she turned to face him. ”What are you staring at?” she asked curiously.
"Your eyes…to us a Grimm's eyes are like the darker than the night sky…but I'm not uncomfortable seeing myself in them anymore." Theo explained
Meg blinked at this information. She knew there was something about her eyes that Wesen reacted to but whatever it was had never been written down in any of her dad's books. ”I… I didn't know that. You can see your reflection in them?” she said in wonder.
"We see what we really are. I see a fuchsbau staring back at…I see me. That's why wesen react because they see themselves in the dark pools of your eyes." Theo informed her
Meg nodded in acknowledgment and turned back to the road as the light turned green. ”Gonna add that to my journal. Thanks for telling me.” she said, figuring no one else knew about that because no other Grimm had ever actually just talked with a Wesen. ”Are my eyes like that all the time for you?”
"Yep…always…I know it's suppose to scare me but…after being around you a while…they don't. They're just…unique and in some ways a little pretty…like pools of ink reflecting the true nature of a wesen." he seemed to snap back into focus "Shit sorry I got a bit cheesy there." he chuckled a bit
Meg couldn't help but laugh a little at the description. ”Yeah, you kinda did.” she agreed. ”But it wasn't the worst thing I’ve ever heard.” she told him, groaning a little as her scratch stung again from her smile. ”In case you were wondering, Zorro, my eyes are kind of a nutty brown.”
"Nice…well it's right here down this street." Theo told her as he pointed to an older apartment building complex
Meg nodded and pulled up in front of the building he pointed out. She turned off her car and grabbed her bag as she got out, waiting for Theo to close his door before locking it up.
Theo exited and shut the door behind him, fishing his apartment key from his pocket. "It's only on the second floor so I just walk up."
”That’s fine with me.” Meg told him as she followed him to the door. Just because she was in unfamiliar territory, she kept her head down. Not just to hide the scratches but she didn't know how many Wesen may live in this building and she didn't want to cause a panic.
Theo soon was standing outside his apartment and turned the key in his lock. He opened the door and motioned for her to get inside. It was a tiny apartment with a kitchen, a little living room and a door down a narrow hall.
Meg glanced around the hallway before quickly entering Theo’s home and shutting the door behind her. Now feeling a bit safer, she was able to relax again and looked around the apartment a little. ”Nice place.”
"eh it's alright." he responded "Let me go get some stuff. Sit down and relax." Theo said as he entered the small hall and opened the door, revealing a bit of his messy room. His bathroom was connected to his room apparently as he came back out with some things to clean her scratches.
She nodded and took off her jacket as she sat down on the couch, not looking down the hall. ”Thanks. Second time you helped me in a fight.” she chuckled as she saw him coming back.
