      âAmerican numbers,â he responded, bringing a hand to the side of his head and wriggling his fingers by his temples to show how nonsense it sounded to him but mostly to exaggerate the fact that whatever she was saying was not going to impress him because he didnât understand it. Why try and understand a schooling system he would never had to be involved in? Even if Danny wanted the whole kid thing, which he didnât, heâd go back to Australia to have them. Give them the same sort of upbringing that he had enjoyed until heâd been hurt.
     She seemed fine as they headed up but neither one of them was talking a whole bunch, regulating his breath Danny was content in the silence but still glad when they reached the top of the stairs. Immediately he paused, looking out over the forest, seeing the trees go on and on with a few of the town lights streaming through their leaves in a way where you still couldnât tell what was beyond them, just that something was. He loved it up there, especially since there were a lot of faeries that instead of taking the stairs would fly up and down. It was a pretty site when a lot of them were returning to their treetop homes at once. Right now it was quite though, just the wind rushing through the air, railing of the fence at their hips.Â
     Looking to her he knew it wasnât that cold yet but up so high where the wind was pushed through the trees and spun this way and that he checked still to make sure she wasnât shivering. âYouâre not afraid of heights, right?â he asked, sure they were at least three or four stories above the ground and that was a modest estimate, the treetop homes and bridges could go higher, much higher.
Fawn looked around with wide eyes as she looked out over the forest.  âThis is amazing,â she said quietly as she watched. It was different from all the things sheâd known before. She knew the metaphorical jungle of the city--the bricks, the lights, the sounds of cars always blaring. But this... this was actually beautiful.  âHow often do you come up here?â She asked curiously, biting her lip.
She shook her head, shrugging.  âNo, Iâm not,â she said simply. It was a bit chilly, and she wrapped her arms around herself tightly.  âWhat exactlyâs up here?â She questioned, biting her lip. But she didnât seem nervous, like, âOh, no, this guy might kill me if I make one wrong movie.â She seemed excited. Like, really excited.
