[Jerry knows the way out but he doesn't take the lead, preferring she walk in front of him. Only because she's much smaller, see.]

You meet any other creeps in there?

[ She's fine with taking the lead, really. ]

No, just Karl. A few people were pretty cursed, a few others were just lost like I was.

No friends stuck in the middle with you?

[That's more of a pun than either of them know.]

Not where I was, no.

[ There's a heavy frown. ]

If Karl goes after one of them...

What makes you think he would?

[Jerry asks, not doubting her instincts or even what the guy might have already told her, but if he's a vampire...there are some things they do share in common.]

Anna's an easy target. She should be in the hospital right now -- she showed up in my room after having been tortured wherever she's from. He's bothered her before, too.

[ Pause, consider. ]

And Chekov just looks like easy prey, with his curls.

[He can't help but smile at the mention of Chekov. His curls are just the tip of the iceberg.]

If he goes after them it's only going to be to get to you. [After a pause, he adds:] I knew a lot of girls with bad exes.

He's made Anna cry before. [ Without thinking about it, her hand twitches toward her knives. ] Asshole.

Were you always the good ex?

[He's going to refrain from mentioning knives are no good against a bat. With regards to making this Anna cry Jerry has no comment either. He doesn't know the woman, it's not hard to believe he wouldn't have any opinion, right?]

It depends on who you talk to.

[All the ones who thought poorly are probably dead and buried. Some undead. Mostly dead.]

[ She knows they aren't any good. Karl has two arms and she's seen a picture of him with one, and if that weren't enough, she's seen him regenerate. Still, the knives make her feel better. ]

I guess it always does.

What about you, heartbreaker?

[It's an innocent question based upon the fact that he can't smell that other guy on her anymore.]

[ Ahahaha. Ariadne's relationship history... ]

My first boyfriend broke up with me because I wanted to study instead of have sex with him all the time. The next one was the summer before I went to Paris and neither of us wanted to try long distance. Then it was just some casual stuff in France and then the City, which decided to solve my problems for me by making them not exist.

[ Shrug. ]

I'm not great at relationships.
