New Kids On The Block ✘ Dynamic Duo
She shifted awkwardly on her feet. She didn’t need him to protect her, not always, but she was safer in his company. It was just something she had learned. Something she relied upon. Him always being there. “Do we have to do this?” She asked. “Ich will dich nicht verlieren.”
Even if she was the reining princess of fear, she had her own. Lorelei was sure that her mutation was due to an over stress of her own fears. She knew it would be possible. She’d read articles when they had stopped at places that had public access to computers and even newspapers. She had done her research on their kind. “Versprechen, Niklaus?” Even if he was only in shadows at least he’d be there.
Niklaus furrowed his brows at the words. “Don’t speak German here, okay? Try to not slip into an accent, either. We want to fit in here, Lore. Besides, America doesn’t have a very good… history with our country,” he reminded her softly. He didn’t know how… humans or mutants would react to them. He’d seen things as a kid on the news and he’d be damned if he was going to let someone hurt his sister because of assholes from the 40s.
He smiled at her. “Have I ever lied to you?” he asked. “Try not to worry about it. Act like a… normal teenage girl, okay? And, don’t get too close to anyone until I give the okay.”
She'd never in her years had to watch her mouth, not for her accent and definitely not for her native language. "Y-yeah... I'll try." Lorelei nodded in understanding, mild as it was. She'd remembered him telling her about America, about how they felt about Germans. All of it being dropped like a bomb on her life. She'd have to fit in, even if just to soothe his worry.
"No, never." She confirmed, and it was true. They didn't keep secrets, they never lied, and they were open--always. "Nikky, what if--what if this isn't good? I'm thankful for having found it, but.." She was worrying again. "Never mind me, I'll figure it out." She'd at least have to try, though trying to fit in may prove difficult even when surrounded by mutants. "But they're like us right? So it should not be bad?"
