Expertly navigating the twists and turns that led them both ever upward, he finally led them to a small door that had an odd amount of concrete dust around it. He gave it a little push, and stepped out onto the roof through the back of a statue.
He made a sweeping gesture towards the skyline.
"Paris."

Baby Jenks clambered up there before him, a little foolishly -- but another Dead guy wouldn't take her outside in the middle of the day, it just wasn't something you did. What she expected to see, she didn't know.
Her mouth made an 'o', but she said nothing. The sight of everything lit up made her head throb, like her first time seeing a neon sign after Killer had done this to her. It was a good kind of throb, but it made her nauseous. It made her want to run right up to the edge and jump down. She steadied herself on an unattractive statue, instead.

He eyed her critically for a moment.
"Where were you before you crashed?"

"Looking for St. Louis."

He tried to hide a smile.
"Mmm. I was in New York and then found myself here."

Jenks tore her eyes away from the scenery bristling out from the dark and looked at Daniel sharply.
"Something's going on, isn't it."

"Then spill it, asshole, you didn't take me up here for a date, did you?"

Daniel rolled his eyes.
"I'm not like that all the time, dammit." He muttered.
"No. I came to show you that you weren't in Kansas anymore, so to speak."

She gave him a sideways glance and approached the rooftop's edge.
"So what do I call you?"

"Daniel," he said simply. "What do I call you?"

"Jenks," she said, lifting her chin.

Oh, prideful. How cute.
"How long have you been one of us?"

"I've been for twenty years, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to some out there."
He glanced at the Parisian skyline.
"Some are literally ancient."
