(no subject)

There's a new addition to the nexus; a young woman in her early twenties with a small duffel bag slung over one shoulder, wearing a completely bewildered expression as well as pointe shoes, tights, and an oversized jumper over a black leotard.

She was expecting to leave her class and end up in the main theatre for rehearsal; instead, she's God knows where. After walking a little, she stops and looks around again, trying casually not to panic in a way that only the British are able; usually this involves a couple of deep breaths and muttering to yourself, but is subject to change.

"This is fine. Totally fine. I'm just completely lost in a place I've worked for years. Totally normal."

and then, at normal speaking volume;

"If there's anyone here, I'd really appreciate a hand. Anyone?"

"I don't know much about modern New York save for what I've read about."

Steve looks a little embarrassed when he admits to that. The time difference makes it difficult to even talk about places he's familiar with.

"I've been to London once, but it was with a friend of mine who practices a lot of magic, and I imagine it wouldn't be the same as your home, probably."

"All I know about it is that it's an incredible place to live. That's enough for me."

Shifting her bag further onto her shoulder, she holds her hand out for him to shake.

"Sorry - I just realised I didn't introduce myself. I'm Grace"

"Oh!"

Steve looks startled a moment before he reaches out to shake her hand. He can't believe he'd been going on like that without so much as a how do you do.

"Sorry, I forgot entirely. It's swell to meet you Grace. I'm Steve Rogers. Most folks just call me Steve."

"It's nice to meet you too"

'Steve'. She tries to commit it to memory, since she doesn't know how many other people she'll meet here or how many of them will be friendly.

"I don't suppose you know anywhere around that has decent food do you? I'm pretty sure my stomach's trying to digest itself and I'm dying for a coffee"

"Depends entirely on what you'd want to eat Miss Grace. I know a lot of places, and even have a few favorite spots I might be willing to share locations of."

He gives her a friendly smile and gestures out to the nexus proper.

"If there's anywhere that has a lot of veggie options, that'd be preferable"

Because eating out is always fun when you don't eat more than two things on most menus.

"I don't know if I'm worthy of knowing secret locations - but, if you were to share, I promise I won't tell a soul"

Steve nods and starts off down one of the winding side roads in the Nexus, careful to point out anything of interest along the way to Grace as they walk. He's pretty sure he remembered a vegetarian spot near the farmers market he does work for on occasion. It's a tiny little restaurant--barely room for eight tables-- but the place looks homey and the proprietors are a very nice humanoid couple who greet both Steve and grace warmly when they come in.

"I've actually not been here before." Steve admits to Grace once they have their seats. "But they always buy from the market up the street so I'm sure it's good food."
