Axel waved a hand at her. "You don't have to 'monsieur' me," he said, offering her a thin smile. "The name's Axel; got it memorized?"
He noted that pleased look on her face and chuckled to himself. Axel didn't really give compliments, he just called 'em like he saw 'em, and if it happened to be something complimentary then so be it. She did have a good pokerface, he'd give her that; not everybody would have stood their ground after being confronted about pocket-picking.
Tugging open the door and stepping into the little sandwich shop, he rubbed his chin in thought at her inquiry.
"A... bout eight months now, I think," he replied. "Been kind of a crazy ride, that's for sure. And you? I don't think I've seen you around before, are you new?"
now it's my turn to apologize for the delay XD
