Rose shook her head then.
"Just, ignore it for now. Had a memory come back to me, wasn't a pleasant one."

"Alright. Where're you headed then, Rose?" He asked
-
"Haven't decided yet, was just getting some coffee." She shrugged, she really hadn't decided yet.
-
"Well, I'm grabbing a bite to eat. You in?" He offered politely
-
She thought on it for a second, at the moment she wasn't hungry, more sick to her stomach than anything really. "I would, but right now, I'm not feeling great."
-
"I'm sorry." he said "Anything I can do to help?"
-
"Not that I can think of, I'll be fine on my own though." Whatever had happened to the girl, she seemed to be trying to run from it.
-
"I don't think you are." He insisted "And sometimes food does help to settle your stomach."
-
"Not hungry, thanks for the offer though." The girl stepped back then, taking a sip from her drink to avoid an awkward moment.
-
He rubbed the back of his neck, not wanting to cause a scene "Uh....look...I'm gonna be honest. You really don't look well. I understand if it seems iffy because I'm a stranger, but you don't look like you're handling it."
-
She tried not to seem hostile then, scowling a bit. "I'll be fine, just need some time to sort things out..."
-
"Ma'am...I think time doesn't have anything to do with it." He offered his hand "It would be my pleasure to help you out. You wouldn't have to re-pay me at all."
-
"I'm sorry but its have to refuse, I don't want to drag people into my life to deal with my problems." She frowned then, stepping a bit more away.
