"I do not want that." He made a horrified face. "If I want legs, I will just wear shorts. My legs are nice enough." He snapped his finger, "yes. It is cool! Refreshing! Comfortable mostly. I like comfortable!" He grinned.
He laughed and then waved his hand. "In my country, you are beauty, the men? They would not leave you alone. You could not enjoy Jordan." He thought of the busy streets and the customs they held.
"Nah." He shifted around, "I don't want to expand around yet? I will gain my ground and find my way here first. Do you plan to travel, Olga?"

He was great. She was so glad she had bumped into him on the bus. She couldn't help but laugh and grin as he talked about his legs and his clothing choices, and then turned red again, choking a bit. A beauty in his country huh? She definitely needed to go to Jordan then. "Pfffffft nah---" She waved a hand at him. "I'm sure I'd be fine, and that I'd enjoy it immensely!" Especially if there were a lot of cute guys like him there--- "Ah." She nodded her head a bit. "That makes sense!" When the eagle was out of sight, Olga resumed walking, and they arrived at a creek. She hummed a bit as she looked it over. This wasn't the end of the trail just yet---there was no water fall here! Which meant they needed to go over this--- "Huh?" She sounded distracted. "Oh---YEAH!" She glanced at him. "I want to travel lots! I'd say right now I really want to go to California---" Ah ha! Olga found the path---there were a series of large flat stones that went across the creek to form a bridge of sorts. Eeee! So cool! She started to walk and hop across the rocks, looking down into the water as well to spot any fish. "Because in California there's the forest of Redwood trees!" Here she paused and turned, animatedly gesturing with her hands. "Huge trees, Khaleel, HUGE!" Her hands shot above her head. "You have to crane your neck back really far to see them, and even if you squint you can't see the top! Lots of trees taller than a lot of buildings back in the city! Trees so big around you can drive a car through them---and they're so old too!"

Khaleel followed after her, allowing her to chatter while he snuck some more photos. Some included her, some just random scenery.
"I have heard of the California! It is land of celebrities! Scandals!" He smiled widely, "Where Hollywood makes the dreams come true!" He laughed. "A true American territory."
He paused and looked at Olga, about to ask what redwoods were when she explained to him.
"I have never seen tree's that big!" He looked up and up and tried to imagine what a forest would be like that. "A car through them!?!?" NOW HE HAD TO SEE IT.

Olga laughed. "Well, that's a pretty good summary of California pretty much! Plus wine, plus wildfires, and plus earthquakes." She crossed to the other side of the creek, and continued up the path, glancing back at Khaleel over her shoulder with a wide grin. "Yeah! A car! Pretty crazy, right? I really just want to go so that I can feel---small, yanno?"

"That is a lot of bad things!" He laughed, "I mean, wine is good, but the other stuff is bad!"
"Modest, is it? To feel small in great wonders..." He shook his head, "Do we not do that everyday? We live on a planet in the wonders of stars and yet our deeper oceans and tallest mountains will forever be a mystery."
He stopped and gazed out across the wildlife.

"Yeaaaah that other stuff is bad." She agreed, and then nodded her head. "Yeah!" She agreed, still moving forward and contemplating that woah Khaleel was getting pretty deep there---Hey wait. Olga had put some distance between herself and the young man, and she looked back to see him still behind, and deep in contemplation. Oops! She back tracked, coming to stand beside him. She looked to where he was looking, and tilted her head. Olga was silent for a moment. "Maybe it won't always be a mystery, yeah?" She grinned at him. "Maybe they'll make a submarine that can go to the deepest depths and people will keep getting more awesome and climb the tallest mountains."

Khaleel always got it deep in. ahem.
His thoughts were always a little bit dreamer and out there, but he thought it was because he was so naturally curious about everything. he just wanted to know more about the large world, when he had come from such a small chunk of it.
"Wouldn't that be amazing." He breathed out and then laughed, "I like to mountain climb! The thrill and the burn of work. Very nice. OH!" He pulled her forward now.
"Look at this!" It was a small waterfall but you could see the struggle of some fish trying to swim up. "Speaking of climbs! Go fishies! go!"

Based on how hard he was--- Contemplating--- Olga assumed he was--- Buried to the hilt--- In his thoughts. "Yeah? You wanna climb Everest?" Olga asked, and then made a surprised sound as he pulled her forward. "Huh---OH!" She peered at the fish too. "Oh, wow! That's so cool!" She pumped her fist. "Go, fishies, go! You can do it! That's pretty amazing, yeah? The fish that can like-----swim-jump really high!"

"I do!" Khaleel grinned, placing his hands behind his back. "It is a good dream to have, no? Perhaps though, there will be higher mountains to climb!" He clicked a picture of the fish and then moved on.
"It reminds me, The struggles." He grinned. "They are always real."
He paused, "Do you have boyfriend, Olga?"

Olga nodded her head vigorously. "Yeah! It is!" That she wholeheartedly agreed with. "Definitely---and if there isn't, then you could make it your mission to climb the top ten tallest mountains in the world! Wouldn't that be impressive? To say you climbed ten of the tallest?" She moved on as well, grinning, and once again saying to herself, mentally, that she was really happy she bumped into Khaleel on the bus. He had great energy and enthusiasm--- Wait what--- Olga spluttered, her cheeks burning red, wondering where on earth this question came from exactly. If she was more suave, she could have said something cool and witty like, 'you could be it'---But alas, she was only suave, cool and witty when she was writing. With the safety of her computer screen and paper. Oh, and her day dreams. Sigh. "N-nope!" She answered back after a moment. "Um---riding solo, yeah?" She laughed a bit, and cast a curious and wide eyed glance back at him. "Uh...why do you ask...?"

"My mission perhaps! One day I will climb to the tallest and it will be amazing!" He could only hope he could find such a place for him to go to. He wanted to explore. Imagine. Dream.
Her stuttering made him laugh and he couldn't help the urge to tease her.
"It is not bad thing! Unless you are looking for love! Is that what you wish to conquer in your time, Olga? Love?" He reached over and ruffled her hair, "Because you are pretty lady, and kind. I am sure, the people....who must fight them off with stick no?" He stopped.
"I've heard in america, it is....shotguns? On the porch?" He laughed again.

Khaleel stahp. "Uh------" She turned even redder, and gawked as he ruffled her hair and complimented her. Honestly...she never pictured or imagined herself to be in love. She just couldn't visualize herself with someone who would actually care about her like that. She wanted all the things that came from a loving relationship. Trust, respect, dependability, and a whole slew of other amazing things...but she could never see herself being...worthy of those things with another. This, of course, she kept to herself. "I'm going to conquer the romance genre!" She declared, belated, and laughed a bit. "Ack---stop---it's not like that at all, okay!?" Olga waved her hands at him, and eagerly latched onto what he was asking. "Yeah---it's the stereotype here in America---over protective fathers about their daughters." She laughed more. "When the boys roll up in their sports cars or pick up trucks to take the girls on dates, the fathers are sitting on the porch cleaning their shot guns. Yanno---" She make hand gun motions at the young man. " You're a dead man if you hurt my baby girl. Pew. Pew!" She paused for a moment. "Those are silly gun sound effects, by the way!"

Khaleel stopped.
"You are a writer!?!?!" He stopped, "I wish to read your works. Do you have a book yet?" he laughed at her description of Men in america and then nodded.
"I will do same for you, no? Sit on porch with gun! Pew Pew the boys!" he laughed again.
"I know sound guns make, they are not uncommon in Jordan."

"Yeah! It's what I'm going to DCU for---" She blinked, and then laughed. "Uh--no! Not yet! But I am working on a collection of short stories to publish into a book soon...like...a side project." Olga thought for a moment. "If you want to read some...I could make that happen, yeah!" She nodded her head, and then choked. " What?" She cried. "N-no!" She waved her hands at him. "You don't need to do that!" But then when she really thought about it...Khaleel's metaphorical porch would probably always be empty. Yeah. On the other hand though---Olga straightened and then pointed a finger at the young man. "Well---if that's how it's going to be, then I'm going to do the same for you!" Olga abandoned doing a hand gun motion to instead trade it in for mimicking loading a shot gun. " I'll mess anyone up who steps on the porch for you." But then... Khaleel had to make things real. Ouch. Olga grimaced. "Oh---not like that....yanno guns don't make silly sounds like pew pew." No. They made very loud and frightening sounds. "...How long do you plan to stay in America for?"

"I would like to read!" He cried loudly, an almost pout appearing but like...a smiling pout. "These short stories! And then I will share them with any friends I make! Make you famous before your first book!"
He laughed and then shook his head, "I do not think you need to worry. Women, they do not come up to the porch." He nodded, "But you are welcome to try!" They could sit on empty porches together.
"A long time! I like America. It is a good place. Plus, I have made a good friend here!" He clapped a hand on her back. "It would be bad to leave now?"
