Well, he could not say he expected her to have the local currency, but the monetary problem did not rise in his mind until she mentioned it. It has nothing to do with his nature as a thief- more so a thief of ghost values, but to be fair, Paris’ metro was crippled with metaphorical holes, it was a wonder some people still paid for climbing into these old cans. Of course, Phantom R did not, but it was because he’d rather have to walk, or take his leave above the roofs of the city- these were, for bizarre reasons, never as busy as the dirty underground train. He refrained from patting her back again, seeing how tense she became when he did so, and who would not have been when a stranger allowed himself to be so intimate? Those were old reflexes- to his body memory, it was Kido, and the same Kido he had met before in those foreign streets, and hardly qualified as a ‘stranger’ anymore, though not a friend either. An acquaintance, but it was enough for Phantom R to occupy the space around as if he was always there. But instead, he hummed to himself briefly, before clasping his hands together. Trying to make himself both comfortable and uncomfortable to hang out with, it seemed.
“It’s no problem! If it is really needed, I’ll pay you the métro ticket. Plus,” he added with a lower voice, “we really can’t go there by foot. It’s far from here and there is nearly no pedestrian way around the airport.” Yes, but whose bright idea was it to go to the airport anyway?
Jeez, this guy really was going out of his way to help her, even offering to pay for her ticket. She had to wonder why that was. Normally, most people wouldn't want to give a stranger this much time and effort to help them out. If he hadn't shown up, she never would have been flagged down at all, and probably wouldn't have been overly eager to ask someone for help. Most wouldn't want to waste their time. Then again, hadn't she already come to the conclusion that this guy wasn't exactly "normal"? This really just furthered that point about him being far too friendly for a stranger, but at least, in this case, that friendliness was helpful. She couldn't even read the vast majority of the signs she came across, so what were the odds that she could get anywhere by herself in this place? It just seemed a little too convenient, that was all. As "helpful" as it was that she had ran into him, it just seemed almost too helpful.
"I would prefer if I didn't have to ask that from you." Although, he didn't make it sound like that was really an option here. He looked so unconcerned with it all, though. Ah, well. She didn't want to ask that, but if it were necessary, then that was how it would have to be. "...Lead the way."
