Im a tiny being in a humongous earth

Idiots

Amusement flowed through him. This woman why is her confidence coming from sadness? He thought as he scan her again for another time. Dark unruly hair matched with pale complexion, but the most noticeable trait is her light hazelnut eyes who back then may have been warm and caring but now left with coldness and apathy. He sighed as he braced himself to try yet another conversation.

"You know, there's really not much to do especially if you're seatmate doesn't want to talk to you"

And yet another one.

"Um... look we kinda... 'ya know started with the wrong words so how about we begin again?"

"You're really mad are you?" Claire wasn't particularly mad at him, she just felt very unproductive to talk to him and his strong persistence just ignited her irritation even more.

This is my last card. He thought with determination.

"Hi my name is Ludwig and you are?" he asked with his right hand waiting for a friendly shake

She looked at him with another squinted eyes. "You, don't you know body languages?"

He grinned and felt grateful that at least she replied even if her remark was rather rude.

"Oh yes! But I refuse to give up, I'd rather have an angry seatmate rather than non- existing seatmate 'ya know" his thick accent intrigued her. His definitely a European. She thought.

"So, what's your name?"

"Claire" she replied curtly

"Your hairs nice" he silently assumed that woman are suckers for compliment.

"Your veins are nice, now I told you a compliment can you shut up now?"

He laughed so hard the other passengers began to notice them.

He opened his mouth to rebut but the sound that escaped from his mouth startled Claire

"WOWA" Now visibly irritated she looked at him with a cringe and a mouth plastered with a nasty frown.

"What the hell?" she whispered while still looking at him but then she noticed he wasn't looking at her but the window. As she turned her head to see what's making Ludwig fascinated, she saw the wide ocean at her window and at the opposite side was large mountains that as if you can touch them. The road was the only one dividing them apart. It was so beautiful that Claire's mouth dropped wide open for a good three minutes and just closed it when she heard a chuckle.

"Never seen such a scenery haven't you?" he said with a smirk.

"I suppose you too, because you let out a sound that I presume a 'wow'"

"Hey, I have been here already" he lied. She knows his lying. Her gaze went back to her window.

"You're not a good liar, your eyes twitch and you're fidgeting"

"Well sorry to disappoint an expert" he said with a mocking tone, and with that Claire's patience vanished as she said loudly "YOU SMUG PUNK WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?"

He laughed again. "No one has ever called me punk!"

"Well, that's surprising after all your music gives clues away especially the volume."

"I never said I liked rock" he said with a tilted head

"So what are you implying?"

"We could be friend you know, if you're just not so disagreeable" he said with annoyed tone but with a slight hint of amusement.

"Who said that I want to be you're friend?"

"I think you'll want to"

"Oh really? Do enlighten me then"

"First, I have been here longer than you. Second, I can tour you and even help you 'cause I know you don't even know when to go down and I know just the right place"

 She thought for a minute. What he said is true, she does not know the place and she can't keep pestering Ronnie to help him, she can't abuse his kindness but on the other hand she can abuse this Idiot with his stupidity.

"Sure"

Ludwig's eyes widen with shock because he was almost sure that her stubbornness won't settle so he had to ask again and again she said her answer.

"Sure, we can be friends, you can tour me and I can listen to whatever you're going to say"

"DEAL!" he said loudly with matching excitement for he thought at least there's an idiot willing to believe he knows this country well but In fact he's also a novice and just decided to ride the bus on a whim. A perfectly lost traveler who's looking for a perfectly lost companion.
