"Well, I can give you a lift." Lindsay offered.
"And I can get you something to eat as well." he told her further.
"You'll just need to trust me, even though that may be a very difficult task for you right now." he then said.
"But I assure you that I mean you no harm. I just want to help. You shouldn't have to be out in the cold, hungry, with nowhere to go." he reasoned.
"Nobody should." he added.
"But it is your choice." he finished, extending his hand towards her, in a mostly symbolic, but also literal, gesture.

Kalin was silent as he said all he did, and there was hesitation, but she spoke after.
"I... all right." She said.
"I won't complain to some food... but I have no means of repaying you."

"I'm not looking for repayment." Lindsay responded.
"I'm merely doing this as an act of kindness, believe it or not." he told her. "There ARE still good people in this world. They're just... getting harder and harder to find." he sighed.
"Anyway, my car's parked close to here." he told her.
"Come on, let's go." he said, looking up at the sky.
"Looks like there's going to be some precipitation." he commented. "Probably freezing rain, if I were to hazard a guess."

Kalin looked up when he said that before sighing lightly.
"All right. Lead the way.... I'd rather not get rained on." She commented.
"I would really prefer to not be rained on...." She muttered before following him to the aforementioned car. After they'd crawled in, he was able to see just how small she was. Sure, she wasn't exorbitantly tiny or anything, but she was smaller than he thought she was. Outside, she looked to be a bit taller, bigger, than in the seat.

"......." Lindsay was silent as he saw how small she was.
'...I wonder if she's malnourished, or suffers stunted growth?' he thought. 'Or is it both?' he wondered further, as he started the car up, and Kalin felt the heat from the vents start to warm the area around her.
"So." he then said, as he pulled out onto the road.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked.
"Do you have a preference? Or anything you wish to avoid?" he asked further.
"Because whatever you'd like to have, we can get it." he told her with a light chuckle. "That's the beauty of so many differently themed authentic restaurants in this city." he added.

"I'm good with anything, really." She told him.
"Even scraps, to be honest." She added before pausing a moment.
'It's... been awhile since I've had Asian though..."

Lindsay raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
"Yeah, no scraps." he said.
"You will NOT be eating scraps." he insisted.
"And Asian? Huh, all right." he said.
"I know a good place to get some Asian food." he told her.
"Anything in specific?" he then asked. "Asian is a broad term, after all."
"Chinese? Japanese? Korean? Something else?"
"Yeah, no scraps." he said.

Kalin paused.

"I'm... I have no idea..." She then admitted. after a few seconds she snapped her fingers.
"If... at all possibly, I would love to try some sushi.Never... had a chance to."

"Ah, sushi!" Lindsay responded.
"Excellent choice. I know JUST the place." he told her.
"They're open late, it's always made-to-order, and their selection is amazing." he said, as he made a turn, and started to make his way to the place in question.
It didn't take long, about 10 minutes, before they pulled into the parking lot of the place in question.
"All right then." he said, turning off the vehicle.
"Let's go in and eat."

Kalin nodded before following him inside.
After they had eaten, and Lindsay had been shocked at how little she ate, he'd opted to drive her around a bit. She was hesitant, still, but it didn't take long. After about fifteen minutes, he could tell that she was at least trusting enough, and that she'd needed to eat.
She ended up falling asleep in the back seat of the car.
So he opted to just take her back to his place. He didn't know where else to take her, after all.
He laid her down in the spare room to get some sleep.
The next day, when she woke, there was silence around her and she looked around, fumbling for her glasses a bit. Once she had them and slid them on her face, she was able to actually properly look around.
She had no idea where she was. So she got out of the bed carefully and crept to the door. She had no idea what was around, or who owned this place, so there was no way to know whether or not she should eb worried.

As soon as she crept to the door, she heard noises on the other side of it. She heard sizzling, she heard some grinding, some clinking, clanging, and other such noises.
Kitchen noises.
And that's when she could smell it. Bacon and waffles. Homemade waffles.
But then she heard something else... another voice, but it sounded different. She could tell it was coming from a television, probably left on for white noise or whatever.
"-continues to enjoy his winning streak. So far he is the only fighter to remain undefeated, but some continue to criticize his decision to hide his face, and use a pseudonym. However, there seems to be no stopping this juggernaut of a man, as he consistently dominates his opponents. And in the world of baseball-" she heard the anchor say, continuing to drone on about other sports.
"Ha-ha!" she then heard Lindsay's voice laugh out loud.
"Ohhhh, one day. One day." he said further.
"Mmm, almost done. I should probably go and see if Kalin is awake." he added.

Kalin was silent, not sure what it was that she was supposed ot make of what she heard, but didn't say anything nor did she hesitate for too long. She paused before making her way downstairs. She was treading carefully though, of course, before she reached the stairs and made her way down. She approached the kitchen, mostly following her nose, and paused where she was after a moment before stepping into the room.
"Uhh... hi." she said after a moment, sounding hesitant, but not exactly scared

Lindsay, who was just plating some food, stopped and looked at her.
"Oh, hello, Kalin." he greeted her.
"Good morning." he said.
"How fortuitous. I was just about to see if you were awake." he commented. "I've made breakfast, and was wondering if you would like to partake." he told her.
"I'm not a very good chef, but I DO know how to make good waffles, and fry up bacon." he commented.
"Feeling like you could eat?" he then asked her.

"been longer than I care to admit." She muttered.
"Where should I sit?" She asked

"Dining room table." Lindsay responded.
"Come on." he told her.
He then grabbed a couple of plates, and they both made their way to said table. Once she was sitting, he placed the plate of towering waffles, and the plate of bacon in the centre.
"I'll be back with syrup and utensils and such." he told her.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked.
"Come on." he told her.

"I'm good with water, thank you." Kalin answered with a soft smile. She was used to the basis, after all. It was one thing she'd had to be good with, considering where she'd grown up.
"And Thank you." She said after a moment, after he'd returned.
"Because honestly? I ... didn't expect to wake here, to be fair."

Lindsay raised an eyebrow when he heard she was fine with water.
'Hm...' he thought.
"Water? If you're sure." he said.
"I DO have milk and juice that you're welcome to." he told her.
"And you didn't expect to wake here?" he then asked her. "May I ask why?"
'Hm...' he thought.

'I... Honestly, I'm not entirely sure." she admitted after a moment or two.
"Regardless, this looks and smells like it's going to be delicious." She then said.

"Well, I hope it will be." Lindsay responded.
He then left the room and came back with a glass of ice water for her, as well as butter, syrup, and utensils.
"Here you go." he said, handing them to her.
"Feel free to have as much as you like." he told her.
"I don't know what you're used to, but here, you can have as much as you can stomach." he chuckled.
"Did you sleep well?" he then asked.
