Newt nodded in agreement with Talon's statement. "Hah, yep. Sometimes we have the money to afford the things we want and sometimes we don't. I guess I was on the lucky end of the stick and was able to get the car I wanted." So far Newt was very impressed with herself, she normally wasn't able to hold a steady conversation like this to any guy that she talked to, aside from her brother like friend. So things were going great in her mind! She smiled to herself mentally, thinking of how she could have possibly just befriended someone for life. She then focused on Talon as he said that they could focus on some of the more historic parts of Washington and then go to the more fun stuff. She nodded her head, "Sounds like a plan to me. We can go take a look at some of the many different monuments and memorials all across the city, each one has a special history, and better to see in person rather than on a TV screen."
Newt then laughed as Talon actually continued to play off the joke she had made. Oh yes, things were going just smoothly. She was going to finally be able to make a friend without running them off with her strangeness. "Well its a good thing were not too far from the main monuments, it will take us a few minutes but its actually a really pretty walk and its well worth it." She said and took a couple of steps forward, turning back to motion Talon to follow her with a smile on her face. Yep, her perfectly boring day turned out to be her first ever tour of the city, with her being the tour guide. Things were panning out to be a great day so far, and she had the whole rest of the day to enjoy.

Talon smiled at her first statement, agreeing with her on that but he also nodded about how the real thing was better. More often then not it was, and he was actually quite looking forward to seeing the famous monuments and the history held behind each one. Without waiting much longer Talon caught up to Newt in a few strides, smiling back at her and already finding the day proving to be more then he had thought it would be, especially meeting someone who wasn't judgmental and actually showed a happy attitude compared to the usual gloominess.
"So where will be going first?" He asked curiously as he gave the place a quick scan with his gaze, looking quite relaxed as he normally might be. Rarely would one ever find Talon tense or jumpy, finding it quite unnecessary to act that way around new people when trying to be kind or greeting them could be more then enough.

Newt chuckled at Talon, walking down the sidewalk thinking of the places that she could possibly take Talon on this tour. There were all kinds of monument and museums around D.C., it was just a matter of prioritizing the more historical ones from the purely awesome ones. "I know of several historical monuments within the immediate area. You probably recognize the Washington Monument since its the tallest building in D.C., we could make a stop there and then head over to the Lincoln Memorial. Then there is a really cool amusement park beyond the memorials. Does that sound like an alright plan to you?" She questioned, hoping that he would approve of the small tour that he was going to get of the historical city.
She was glad though, that he at least laughed at her joke. She was normally horrible at making funny jokes, especially when she was around people that she didn't know very well. She was happy that at least one of her jokes had gone over very well. It was nice to meet someone who was a bit of a foreigner to a big city, since they were normally a bit more humble than most city folk. The pushing and shoving just got on Newt's nerves sometimes, which is why she preferred to stay to the less crowded spots in D.C., which was not very easy to find.

Talon made a mental note of what Newt planned out and he nodded with a smile,"Sounds fine to me Newt, especially since your the tour guide so I'll follow you where you think might be fun the most."He said with a smile as he glanced at Newt with an assuring nod. Since he wasn't familiar with DC any route sounded good and he was willing to start anywhere, especially since he might have faced being lost in some crowded places which he wasn't quite looking forward to face.
Unlike the city the country was generally more open and crowds weren't very common, less you counted occasional get togethers or picnics, something along those lines. Even then it wasn't that bad compared to the city and Talon was glad visiting it was rare for his adoptive family. Though sometimes he also had had feelings of going off on his own a while to be away from them as well, especially when he got odd feelings, something in his Spark as if someone was sending unintentional feelings. He had to wonder if it was his father or if they even knew he existed.

Newt smiled kindly at Talon and motioned a hand towards Talon for him to follow her. She practically knew the entire layout of the city, it was almost like she had a map in her head. She could probably walk backwards and talk all about the city's history and not run into anybody, but Newt wasn't going to bore Talon with that. Instead, she'd just engage in small talk. "So Talon, if you live in the country, why are you here in the biggest city in the United States? A family vacation?"
Newt switched her attention to one of the street signs and then made an immediate turn, where they would have to wait for a few minutes for a stop light to cross the street. Naturally, being in Washington DC, that could take awhile since the traffic never seemed to stop around here.

Talon easily followed her without complaint, just giving the city a look around and remembering places that could lead back to the hotel if he ever parted from Newt later or any time soon. "Yea just kind of a family vacation, which isn't something we do often. None the less I'm kind of glad we came here since I've actually been feeling drawn here. Least to this same direction from where we've lived."He told her though he knew it would sound fairly strange and possible insane to Newt.
Though he hoped she wasn't judgmental, so far she hadn't shown a side for that but he was wary of revealing the full truth. Newt was already aware of his ability to manipulate water but now he wondered if he could eventually trust her with his other secret, the real reason he could do such a thing. "I know it sounds crazy but being here now I have been feeling stronger tugs, like I'm close to something I've lost."He told her as he glanced at Newt while they waited.
