Piper smiles. "I never plan to read them. We - I have them so that no one else gets their grabby little hands on them but at this point... so much in my life has changed that I wonder what could someone really benefit from?"
She pauses then lifts a hand to her forehead. "Fuck, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't dump my tragic life story on you like that, you did not sign up for that." She couldn't really blame it on the blood or anything... other than the comfortable feeling she got around him, she supposes.
Piper looks down at the menu still sitting in front of her and questions what she had an appetite for when he gives her the option of staying up while she slept. Piper blinks and lifts her head to look at him. "I can't ask you to do that, Kyle," she says after a moment. As much as she wants him to stay because she does trust him and does think it would help, she didn't want to put him out.
She laughs at the look he gives her and places her hand under her chin. "Hmm, I definitely think we can manage that then," she says with a grin. A thought she didn't expect coming ran through her mind and that was: I wouldn't mind going home with him.

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. They aren't... I mean, like mystical books or anything?" He can't believe he's asking things like that but it's what his life has come to and he has to accept that it's a possibility as well. More than that, he didn't want her dealing with that.
"OKay one, yes I did. Two, I don't mind. Three, it's not fucked up. Just really, really, really different," he teases, leaning in a bit closer to her. "Says the vampire" he whispers. Because to him that's weird and fucked up too.
"Why not? Not like I need all that much sleep anyway. I can pretty much do what I want though sleep helps with control and hunger."
Which it technically does for humans as well.
"Then I guess that's solved, isn't it? We can stay up and watch movies." Or they can until she falls asleep and then he can. "And you can tell me about what's going on."

"No, they're not as far as I've been able to tell. However, I have some mystical books. My ancestors a long time ago decided to put some of themselves or their magic into a book in case they weren't around to "guide" their future descendants. They're as annoying as you may think," she says and brings her glass of water up to her mouth for a long drink. What was most annoying about it was that since Jordan and David's deaths, she hadn't heard so much as a peep from them - either in person or from their damn books.
Her mouth quirks up a little at his words and nods. "I appreciate you listening all the same. I," she pauses and snorts softly. "Not to repeat when we first met but I normally don't just give my life's story to someone when I just meet them but...," she trails off. Was it weird to say she trusted him on some level? A man who she only just met that night but who had come out in the middle of the night to help her? "So thank you."
She grins at his response and nods. "Yeah, movies and talking sounds good," she says and smiles when a man walks over to take their orders, giving Kyle a curious look.
Conversation with Kyle flowed easily through their late dinner and shakes. They didn't really seem to run out of things to talk about which was nice but for now, she kept it away from what's been going on. She could go into that when they got to his place.
It was roughly thirty minutes later when they walked out of the diner together and headed in another direction from the motel where she was staying. "I'm glad they're open late otherwise it might've been whatever leftover snacks I had in the car which... isn't a lot," she admits with a little laugh. She usually wasn't too hungry in general these days but she'd been stabbed and healed and apparently, her body needed it.

It's easy to listen to her, to share these talks. Both about the most mundane of things they're dealing with, like work and snacks, as well as the world that most around them had no idea about. Roswell invested in aliens and never knew they actually had any.
It isn't at all surprising that they hadn't a clue about everything else that went bump in the night either.
Now they are the things that go bump in the night. Even as they stand on a sidewalk, laughing and teasing one another as they plan on heading home.
"Okay rule one, you have to eat at least one good meal a day. Doctor's orders," he says, as if he thinks that will work. "Two, once a month you have to come here to have dinner and rest. I will write it on a prescription sheet, if you want."

Although Adonis (and even Klaus to some degree) looks out for her in their own way and they are working toward the common goal of finding everyone involved in Jordan and David's deaths, they are still more separated than they are together. It's been longer than she cares to think about since someone even attempted to look out for her and the fact that Kyle even says something about taking care of herself, it's nice.
She laughs and sends him a grin. "You may need to write it down on a prescription sheet so I can remind myself that I should/need to do said things," she says with a smile. "It's not something I'm proud of but I get so focused on what's going on or my current goal that everything else sort of takes a backseat."
Is she proud of it? No. Is it something that Jordan, David, and even Ben would give her shit about in the past? Definitely. Despite Jordan being exactly the same way in many ways.

It isn't that Kyle can't understand that thinking or how she's processing things. Learning about aliens and all he had about them, being kidnapped and killed and all that had come with it, he had neglected a lot himself during that time. Yet he knew that he would do his best for others. Do as he says and not as he does kind of a thing.
"I can do that, and maybe I'll just have to make sure I text you daily as well. Just to be sure."
Giving it as an opening and not an insistence. Both as a friend and someone that already cares about her as he does. If he can just do something to try and help her and maybe she her again.
