Air studies

“It is getting dark.“

“How does that change anything? Are you scared or what?“

“You can say I am not the biggest fan of walking outside in the night.“

“Why is that?“

“You don't see the issue? During the night there is a big possibility of seeing some, how should I put it, special Individuals, that might try to talk to you and all sorts of other things that I prefer to avoid.“

“I get what you mean, but I have never seen once one of these special Individuals you talk about. Besides, I am here with you. That is better than being alone, no?“

“It is but I am more annoyed than scared of weirdos trying to talk to me. It always ruins my day.“

“That's a bit too much don't you think?“

“it's the truth for me.“

       We continued walking around with no certain destination despite me not having the best time of my life. It's not that big of a deal, but I can imagine it being better. That's all I am saying.I am not sure where even we are now. The only light source is the street lamps, but they are more of a decoration than something helpful in these times. I don't think she knows where we are either. We stopped at a playground. It gives a creepy vibe, being at a place like this one during the night. We've been walking for a while now, so I quick break is exactly what I need. Seems the same for her. We opted for the swings. These are probably my favorites in the playgrounds to this day.

“It's so quiet. No cars, no people. Just us.“

“It is oddly relaxing. But I can still smell the cars.“

"We won't be able to get rid of that ever, sadly.“

“Do you think the smell is even in places where cars and all those things don't go? Like forests, in the mountains or near lakes.“

“Never had the chance to visit such places, but if I had to guess, I think it is everywhere.“

“Me neither. But I have to wonder if the air is different like high in the hills.“

“Hard to tell when you've never been there. This is not bad at all, so I am planning a trip to the mountains anytime soon.“

With that she cut the conversation, kicking the air and gazing at the sky. Talking about air. That's an unexplored topic for me. It kinda fitted the situation. I can't imagine talking about it with someone else than her. Maybe that's what makes her so special. Being able to talk about anything and have fun while it. I looked at her and noticed something was off.

“Is there a problem?“

“No, not really. I am just not feeling well. I think I am gonna be sick in a couple of days.“

“Then being outside at this time might not be the best idea.“

“Yeah, let's go.“

“You know where we are?“
