Where was he from? Now that was a question and a half. How should he answer that he mused quickly, he could lie and make someplace up but then if she asked he would know nothing about the place. Crap! Feck it just tell the truth, can't be that bad here right?
"Um Sunnydale, not sure you'd have heard of it. Its not really a big place or anything famous there. I had to get away, some crap came up and well here I am"He smiled and hoped that she wouldn't pry too much about it.
"So dinner huh?"Another thing that would cause issues, things where easier dating Buffy back home. "How about we make it a late lunch? I'm kinda hungry just now and I had planned to eat once I had finished hitting the books" What was he supposed to say 'Sorry Lisa but once the sun goes down I can't actually digest anything other than blood or it will make me vomit' Maybe this was a bad idea, after all he just made peoples lives far more complicated than they had to be considering what he was and it was bad enough he was one in a zillion so he didn't have anyone else like him to talk to or understand what it was like being unique supernaturally.

Sunnydale? Wasn’t that where Buffy was from wasn’t that just a big whole now? Lisa thought she didn’t ask though, maybe that’s where he was from and he had just been travelling since the hellmouth had swallowed it up. Maybe he knew something about the things that came out during the night. She bit her lip a little in thought “I have some friends from Sunnydale” she shrugged a little then without thinking nothing of it she continued “They came here after it collapsed.”
A late lunch sounded like a good idea Lisa was starting to feel peckish and it was good that Finn was up for that because it meant she had time to go out and patrol later on in the evening. “Lunch sounds good, any type of food you fancy?” she smiled. After what Finn had just said he had defiantly got Lisa interested in him and she wanted to find out more.

"Anything at all"He said slowly, Sunnydale had collapsed he let the thought bounce around in his mind for a bit before he spoke again. Was that what had happened to him, had they been wrong and only Sunnydale had suffered the destruction that they assumed was going to destroy the whole of their existance.
Maybe he had just came out another Hellmouth further away then, what about the others? The sudden guilt of flirting with Lisa slammed home as he wondered if Buffy was still alive, maybe they all had escaped the oncoming catastrophe.
"really I could eat anything about now, um is there a public phone round here I could use. I need to check on someone kinda quickly." If Buffy was still alive then he had to check, she would answer her phone and if not and someone else did then his theory of dimension hoping would at least be true. If no one answered then she was dead and he would move on.

Looking at the expression on Finns face Lisa could see he was worrying about something. “Yeh there is a payphone right outside” Lisa said picking her laptop off the table and putting it into her bag. She stood up and slowly started to walk towards the exit with Finn. “Is everything alright” she asked wondering if there little date might be over as fast as it came. “If you need to bail and go somewhere else its fine, I don’t mind grabbing something to eat at home” she smiled, trying to reassure him that he didn’t need to stay with her because he said they’d go for lunch. As they got outside Lisa pointed Finn to the payphone and went and sat on a nearby bench. Maybe he was the wrong guy for her to go after, after all Lisa had just kind of pounced upon him. She just felt like she could do with some male company at the moment it was hard for her being around girls all the time they where so much more bitchier and complained more than guys. It was a given that that was exactly what Lisa was like but she could handle just herself doing it to others, not everyone doing it to her.

"no no, no need to bail on you"Finn smiled "Just a quick phone call to make and then I'm all yours, promise"
Moving to the phone Finn dialed slowly and carefully, no way he was wanting to get this wrong. The phone began to ring and eventually a man picked up. Finn sighed and hung up with a confused smile. So this was a differant place after all.
Walking back to Lisa he smiled and shrugged "Wrong number of all things, so where did you decide on for lunch, you have a favorite?" It took him a little while to reassert his confidence and bravado to hide the confusion and slight sadness that lingered below the surface.
"More importantly, will this place have ice cream?" Finn grinned as he replaced his hat back onto his head "Really in the mood for something sweet." With a smirk he looked her over and nodded "Guess I found that, just need something sugary then."

Lisa noticed the knock in Finns confidence and also how quick he got it back, he really didn’t seem like he liked to show anything else than his big ego. “I know a little ice cream parlour around the corner lets skip the main meal and just go there” she smiled. Lisa wasn’t a fan of ice cream except chocolate; she didn’t mind that if it had enough chocolate sauce and sprinkles on it.
The weather was just right today, it wasn’t too hot or too cold but the sun was out and there wasn’t a gray cloud in sight. Lisa took the clip out of her hair and let it down knowing that she always looked better when her hair was down. She put the clip in her bag which was hanging off her shoulder and smiled at Finn as they headed down the street together.

"Skip right to the fun stuff huh?" Finn grinned as he fell into step beside her "So! So far all I know about you is that you do history, attack random people with laptops and have the cutest blush this side of universe. There must be more to Lisa?"
Changing the subject to more neutral subjects for him he smiled and adjusts the hat for the light of the sun to keep it from his eyes. But he kept his eyes on her the whole time, if anything was going to go right for him then at least he might be able to get some blood from her at some point.
"Maybe if your lucky I'll answer some questions for you too, if your good that is" Finn winked from under the hat as they kept walking.

Lisa blushed a little again as Finn mentioned it she looked up at the sky and took in a deep breath of fresh air “Well there isn’t not much to tell” Lisa sighed and that was the truth, the main part of her life she could never tell him, if he didn’t think she was crazy he would end up getting hurt and it was Lisa’s job to protect people. “I like going for walks, eating junk food, lazing around and just love listening to some good music… Oh and that laptop of mine you caught I think I would have cried if that had broken, it’s like my baby. So yes your now my knight in shining armour who came to save the day” she joked.
She then stopped and realised she had just said an awful lot about herself, she bit her lip and took a look at the expression on Finns face hoping that he wouldn’t think Lisa was a bit too talkative about herself.

"I'm not that kind of Knight"Finn grinned, it was a nice diversion at least to just chat. "Maybe a Knight in tarnished armour or something. Hmm Music huh?" That was at least something he could talk about safely.
"So what counts as good music to Lisa the History student? Do you go for golden oldies or more modern stuff?" It was bubbling under the surface but he was dying to tell her he was a musician and semi famous, or well he used to be.
That was an odd thing, no fame. He'd never really considered that before, where he had come from everyone knew his name and here he was just a guy in a coat and hat. Well a guy in a coat and hat that could sing, dance, play guitar, kick ass and looked stunning. Finn grinned despite himself, damn he was good!

Lisa caught a glimpse of the look on Finns face as he asked her about the music, this was a good thing because Lisa absolutely loved music and she had it playing around about 98% of the time. “Both really, I love 80’s Music. In my opinion you cant beat that decade for music” she stopped for a minute and took her mobile phone from her pocket, she loved her phone mainly for the fact it was a good walkman too. Flicking through it she stopped at a classic 80’s song ‘Video killed the radio star’ and played it.
“Now this is a classic” she grinned “the beginning of new wave music” realising she had almost passed the ice cream parlour Lisa stopped and turned the music off, placing the phone back in her pocket she shrugged at Finn. “So what about you Finn? From that little glint in your eye I’m guessing you’re a fan of music too.”
She opened up the door of the ice cream parlour and led them both inside, it wasn’t a very big place and was always quite, it was empty apart from a couple sat in a corner gazing lovingly into each others eyes and a mother trying to control her two children by the counter. She took a window seat and passed the menu to Finn, she didn’t need it herself knowing that she wouldn’t like anything but the chocolate flavoured ice cream.
