Text Cut: Zita

She was here and nothing like that would happen.

The words echoed in Adam’s mind for a moment and he could feel the knots in his stomach unclench. He was too relived to know she wasn’t going to take off for the nearest exit to really enjoy the treat he was eating. ”Zome people, have nein respect for anything,” he said simply. They had talked a little about Zita’s history, but not too much. He knew he might be treading on slippery ground with his comments, but hey, it wasn’t like he was on firm footing after the spinning room. “Und zomedimes, people zink zomeone elze’s pain ist funny. But I zink, most people are nice at zeir centers.” Adam did always try to see the best in things, perhaps a bit to his detriment. But with a history like his, one had to be optimistic in order to keep soldiering on. Still, it didn’t mean he was going to go back up to the cafeteria anytime soon.

He let go of his cup of cocoa and reached across the table for Zita’s hand. ”Vu are not ein bother.” He hoped his tone booked no argument. ”I have not had ein vizitor at vork before. Zo it never made me zink to varn vou.” Despite the frustration and perhaps concern or fear of suddenly finding Zita in the Entry Chamber, he had been very happy to see her. Thinking back on it, however, he probably didn’t show it very well. ”I am zorry if mein vorries und zurprize zounded like I vas not excided to zee vou.” He scooted his chair closer. ”I am alvays happy to zee vou.” In fact, he had often found himself wondering what she was doing when she wasn’t around. He enjoyed being with and spending time with her. He liked that she was willing to help him and stand up for him. It was new and nice; he’d never had anyone do that for him. While Zita was very different from him, he liked how it pulled him out of his comfort zone. ”I just...I vas..." He struggled to find the correct words in English. "I vas afraid vou might have gotten harmed. Und if vou had,” he turned his head away from her. ”I do not know vhat I vould have done.”

He took a deep breath and then turned his face back in her direction. "If vu vant to stop by in zee future, zend ein ovl und I schall meet vu...avay from zee Entry Chamber. But I understand if vou never vant to vizit me at vork again." He understood if she never wanted to see the Entry Chamber again, but he hoped she would still want to see him, perhaps have lunch sometime when her studies permitted it. He realized the idea of her not visiting made him sad and his stomach started to knot up again, although this time in a different way. Adam was no fool. He knew they had little in common, especially with their age difference, but he didn’t care. In that moment he realized he liked Zita. He liked her a lot, and perhaps in a way he didn't know he could like another person.

She hadn't had to guess with others, but she never really was respected by others and she felt respected by him. Her mind was going in so many different directions that she had to sip her coffee to try to pull herself in one direction. She frowned as he told why he didn't come here often, "That is horrible, you would think grown adults could act better than teenagers at school." Truth be told it seemed some adults actually acted worse than what she saw and was part of at school. She may have been on the end of the mean part of the school stuff even if she wasn't proud of that now. "Well I'm here, so nothing like that will happen." She'd make sure no one put pudding on him and just walked away. She'd actually like to see someone try. Her wand would be out so fast. "I am terribly sorry I bothered you at work."
