To be honest, she's not sure she can take a tale about drinking demon blood with a reliably calm demeanor even if she hadn't just ripped through no less than 6 intense emotions in the last 15 minutes. The relief as the topic is set aside flows both ways.
"Don't be," she reassures him as they reach the inside of the diner. There's something about the booths and the color scheme that reminds her of Griddy's with it's little four-tops and metal/vinyl chairs. A woman tells them to seat themselves and Vanya offers a little smile in return. She usually has more outward gratitude for a serviceperson. The evening's events have her off-balance. Perhaps this is why she selects a nearby booth without the fuss of consulting her new friend.
As she slides herself in, she places her music books down in the corner beside her and says, "maybe hold off making the crime call until after a person's out of earshot. For next time." Not that Vanya can really ever be totally out of earshot, but that's not important.
"You said your girlfriend is - um - a hacker?" She takes a menu from the corner of the table and passes it over to him.
