"Dane. Okay--Dane." He spreads his arms out, as if showing he's unarmed. He's still confused but he's doing his best to keep his voice calm and soft, even though the cold is stinging at him. If he gets sick he's going to be impossible to deal with, but that's Mary's problem.

"I'm--I'm Lucian, and I'm very puzzled by everything that's happening. Just as quizzical as you." He raises his eyebrows, offering a smile. Hoping at least the sound of his voice will stop Dane from running away again. All he has to do is keep it casual and light, right? He doesn't want Dane to run off again, that much he knows. So, he takes a plunge. Says something he will probably immediately regret.

"I came out here to thank you. For the kiss," He elaborates. Offers a surprisingly small, shy smile. "It.. It should have been under better circumstances, but it was lovely."

And his first with a man.
