Like you said. [ He dips his head towards the ground as he floats down to settle her on the ground on her feet. ]It's just smart for everyone to help each other out.
[ He looks her up and down. ]
Will you be all right? [ A pause as he looks over towards. ] I need to get back, but if you need me, you can call and I'll come back.
Yeah. I'm out of juice, but I only just have to make it over to the house.
[She motions vaguely in the direction of the building she's yet to think of as "home", but where at least she's been crashing for the most part since her arrival.]
My own two legs can get me that far, I think. No flying necessary.
[That is not the multiple back-and-forth look of someone who isn't up to something. No, that is clearly the sidelong look of someone who very clearly is aware of more than he's letting on.]
...Yes?
[So: might as well take the bait, and let him show his hand.]
Eh. If you see him and it comes up, you can tell him it's nothing personal. That we keep missing each other, I mean. Two ships passing in the night, or whatever.

...oh. You live... there?
no subject
...Yes?
[So: might as well take the bait, and let him show his hand.]
no subject
Know someone else who lives there.
[ Aka HIM.]
no subject
[SUSPICIOUS...]
I guess someone else does, but I don't see him much. Is he pretty nice?
no subject
He didn't... mention a roommate.

[...]
Realistically it's probably a little more like, I'm the weird hobo who lives in his house when he's not looking.

no subject
[Hmmm.]
How'd that come up? When you were talking to him, I mean.
no subject
[ Ahh, talking around being Superman and Clark Kent. His favorite. ]
I was wondering what kind of food he was making for dinner. Just polite conversation.

[...]
You gonna tell him you met me?
no subject
Unless you have a strong feeling one way or another?

[ He tips his head towards the outer regions of the town. ]

[She nods, and lifts her hand in a hint of a wave.]
...Thanks. Again. I needed that save.
no subject
Most folks call me...
[ He can't quite manage to say it, since it feels... too big for a community this small, for a world like this. So- ]
Kal. I'll hear you pretty much anywhere you are.
no subject
[It's the name Dave gave her; it's good enough for popular use, she decides. Easier to keep straight that way.]
I'm serious. Don't think I won't take you up on it, because I will.
no subject
[ He pushes up to float a few feet in the air. ]
I'd rather you not get hurt.
