Sedna's mouth made an 'oh' shape as she waited for this revelation, and then took the offered box of matches. She blinked, and then read the information. "Oh!" Her eyes widened with excitement and shone bright (as bright as black eyes could, anyways). "Oh my gosh---really!?" She nearly squealed. She just literally couldn't believe it. Free meals for doing what she thought was right. Free hot meals. "That's so amazing--- thank you!" She held onto the match box in one hand, and grabbed one of his hands with the other. She squeezed it, her lips curving into a wide 'C' shape as she could barely contain her excitement, wiggling to and fro. She then let go, and placed a friendly hand on his back to encourage him to keep walking back towards his home. She was humming as she continued to walk along, but then a thought suddenly occurred to her. Sedna's smile disappeared and she looked worriedly at Evan. "I'm only nineteen---" Her eyes widened. "Can I still come to the bar?" Legit seriousness.

Evan seemed surprised by her excitement, and for what it was worth even seemed to relax. A smile drifted onto his face and, with her hand on his back continued moving forward. He didn't seem at all worried about her age and nodded. "Well, you can't drink anything, but there's no alcohol in the food. Well, most of it, but that doesn't matter. Probably the easiest thing to do is just check down the alley right next door. There's a dumpster down it, but across from that is the kitchen door. I'm there just about every night, so all you have to do is knock on it. Oh, but make sure you tell me who you are, though. Sometimes we get some weird people that wander back there, but if I know who you are you can come in and I'll pack you something up. Or you can call the number there and say you're going to do a pickup, but then just come around back. We get those all the time—people who call in but never show up? So no one will think anything of it."
He seemed a bit off balance but the more they talked, the better he seemed to get on his feet, and even though he was still shaken, he seemed to be drifting into a much better mood.

Sedna was visibly relieved. "Oh, whew!" She then nodded her head, immediately perking back up and giving him a fox eyed grin. "Got it!" She even gave him a salute with her free hand, and giggled a bit before continuing along. Wowie! She honestly couldn't wait to go by and get something! Tomorrow wasn't too soon, was it? Was it? The senshi was wrapped up in these thoughts for a few moments, before she suddenly snapped to, and stopped. "Oh, hey!" She blinked, and looked at Evan, "How close are we to your house? I don't wanna walk you to your door powered up! See, we put---I---and others like me---we put off an energy signature, so I don't want anyone tracing it back to your place." She gave a nod, a pause, and then waved her hands at him. "Oh, but don't worry! There's no one around right now---I can sense them too, and we're good at the moment, I promise! Still, better safe than sorry, yeah!? If we're close, I'll power down!"

Evan blinked slowly, seeming a little surprised. He nodded cautiously and admitted, "We're probably like, I don't know, seven minutes away?"
There wasn't really any way to play off that he knew exactly how long it would take him to walk (or run) home. He had definitely not ever timed it or anything.
He cleared his throat and shrugged. "—You're not worried about that, though? I mean, if you do that, aren't you going to reveal your secret identity?"
It wasn't that other senshi and knights hadn't powered down in front of him; he didn't know all about them (and certainly didn't understand them), but he knew that beneath all that magical costume and power was usually just some normal person.

"Oh, good---" Luckily for Evan, Sedna didn't notice how easily and readily he provided an exact answer. "Uhh, hold that thought!" The senshi then ducked into the nearest semi-concealed space, disappearing from sight for a moment. Another few moments, and Olga came out, dressed in her usual baggy flannel, jeans, and lace up boots. She grinned at Evan, giving him a salute. "Nah, not really! I mean, I obviously wouldn't do it if I thought you were from the Negaverse---but I know you're not!" She gave him a fox eyed grin, and resumed walking in the direction they'd been going. It was very possible she was way too trusting, but it hadn't come back to bite her, yet, so she continued.

Though Evan was absolutely unenthusiastic about being left alone, he turned his gaze from where she disappeared off to until he heard her speak. Turning back to her, he flashed a quick smile. "Oh, well in that case. I'm still Evan, nice to meet you other identity."
He didn't seem to have too much he was ready to say; his adrenaline was dropping so now he was walking as quickly as he could while still dragging his feet. He knew every shortcut and was keen on taking them, weaving his way as close to his house as he could possibly get.
"…Do you live around here, too, or when you're out do you try to stay far away from home?"

"Nice to meet you, still Evan!" She gave him a fox eyed grin. "I'm Olga!" She flashed him a quick peace sign, and fell back into step with him, curiously checking out their surroundings. The young woman tilted her head in his direction as he spoke. "Hmmm? Oh! Yeah---I mean, no, I don't live around here---" She paused for a moment, contemplating this point, and her eyes widened. "Hey, yanno, I never thought of that before!" She turned to look at him in amazement. "Now that I think about it though, I do stay away from home when I'm---yanno---doing my thing! I live closer to DCU---since I'm a student there---and while I'll hang around the university section, I never really hang around home." She gave a bit of a laugh at that. "Weird what you do without really thinking about it, huh?"

Evan shot her a semi-annoyed look when she called him still Evan, but it wasn't worth his breath to make a fuss about, apparently. Besides, he had to forgive her—she'd saved him, after all.
"I guess. But it's also pretty weird to inherit a bunch of magical powers and go out and fight monsters when you don't even get paid for it." He walked briskly, and ordinarily while he was worried about people finding out where he lived, he sort of just didn't care.
Olga really didn't seem like she'd be the type of person he'd have nightmares about at night and he trusted that she had better things to do than harass him if she knew where he lived.
"We're close though," he said after they had walked a bit. "…You don't have to take me the last bit if you have somewhere else to be. I think I can make it."
Evan wasn't trying to get rid of her, but the guilt had since washed over him and now he was disappointed that he'd taken up so much of her time when she could have been out there doing something worthwhile for herself.
"…I just…you know, want to say thank you again. And let you know how much I appreciate you keeping the streets clean. I wish I was a billionaire or something. I'd pay you for all the work you do. Or, at least, buy you some great health insurance."

Olga laughed at that. "Good point! Well, minus the getting paid thing! I don't do this to get paid---I do this to help out others who were like me before I got magic powers. There's---nothing good about being powerless. It's reward enough to know I can help---big or small!" She replied in earnest, and grinned at him. "All the way to the door step!" She told him enthusiastically, pumping a fist into the air. "I have to make sure the package is delivered safely! I won't sleep well tonight unless I see you enter your home!" Olga was very appreciative of his words though, and it showed on her glass face. It also gave her warm fuzzies. "No worries about the health insurance right now!" She assured him. "Being a college student, I'm still on my dad's---and I got a few years! Just rather not use it, yanno? Can't lie to my parents and say I've been in Fight Club---which I can't talk about, anyways." She laughed. "Something they have in common!" Kyuseisha no Hikari I think we're at a wrap, soon! *u*

Evan offered her a hesitant, strained smile. He was amused, but still shaken. Olga was a reassuring presence but he couldn't help but want to get home as quickly as possible. Thankfully, they really weren't far away and after only another moment, he gestured towards a normal, almost plain looking house. "I'm staying here," he said, and drew his bag a bit closer.
Seeing his house gave him a little bit of an extra bounce to his step, but he was careful to mind his manners and not just run off. "So, uhm. I mean—really, thank you, for everything. And don't forget to drop by the bar sometime and I'll make something for you! I'd offer for here, but," he shrugged and cleared his throat. "My roommate probably wouldn’t understand what I was doing bringing girls home. So—I'll see you around? And you'll be safe and stay out of too much trouble, right?"
