She shook her head, a soft chuckle spilling over. It was almost a relief to see he understood it, that it turned out not everything she knew was completely abnormal. Not that she really expected the average person to be able to comprehend the life she’d led before she’d been spat out of the fountain, but it was something of a relief to encounter at least one person who could see things on her level, even if he had the sense to realize that level didn’t apply here.
“Somebody said there’s a beach… Not sure how close it is though.” And while it would be foolish to drag bags of sand that distance, she could admit that she liked the idea of it, if only because then she might get to see the ocean on a day when the sun was beating down on her. It was just another one of those things that people took for granted as normal, that Rose had never experienced. She’d seen a beach, just never in the light of day.
While he might not smile, she can't seem to help the one that dares to play along her mouth, Rose trying to disguise it by pressing her lips together, but it creases the corners of her eyes all the same and she can feel it, that almost foreign stirring in her chest that it takes her a moment to place. Hope. It cost him nothing to make her an offer like this, except a certain level of blind faith perhaps, but what it offered her in return was something she scarcely knew how to put into words.
There was a brief flash of guilt, Elena’s name dancing through her mind as Danny mentioned that she could live there as well, but it was hard to let her mind be clouded with such things when he offered her something that sounded so… normal - at least to her - that she could really picture it.
“Maybe… when you find a place that you think could work? You can show it to me?” It would buy her a little time to really think about things, and a chance to talk to Elena and see what she thought. The one thing Rose could always say for Elena, she would be honest with her. She also knew that if Elena thought this could be good for Rose, she would be the first to encourage it.
