Alone, a talk between them a talk probably wasn't for the best. If Jakob was going to talk to Kieran, he wanted it to be in public. He knew that Kieran was still angry with him and likely wanted to hurt him. Jakob didn't regret putting himself above his loved ones. Why should they get hurt or die for something he did? It wasn't right, and he didn't get why Kieran couldn't understand that. Maybe it was his pride or ego, he didn't know and at this point he was beyond caring. If they were lucky, Cornelius had forgotten all about them and his stupid vendetta.
Continuing down the street, Jakob couldn't help asking about Kieran. Abel was his only outside link to him. If anyone knew what was going on with him, it would probably be Abel. However, he understood if he didn't want to talk anymore about him. He didn't know what Abel might be feeling towards Kieran at the moment. Was he mad, upset? He didn't know and he probably wouldn't with the way Abel kept him on a need to know basis. Questioning the male again, Jakob heard the uncertainty in Abel's voice. He felt bad for asking, as he had hoped Abel could provide him the answer he wanted to hear. Reaching out, he took the males hand into his own. "Well, I guess we have a few days to try and figure it out then." he said with a small smiled.

If there was anything he was grateful towards Abel for, it was his uncanny ability to keep his composure. Even in a time of crisis, he still somehow managed to keep himself together. Jakob had never really learned such a skill. It was one of his many flaws, both as a person and an assassin. In his head, he often thought he keeping himself in check. But somehow, someway someone like Abel, Kieran, or even Cornelius would see right through him. It made him realize just how lacking he truly was and wondered in hindsight what else gave him away. It was likely nothing short of a miracle that he had somehow survived all those years in such a position. But it was in the past, even if Abel's work was not. For just a little while he hoped that Abel would be able to have something of a vacation, even if it was a short one.
Walking down the next block, Jakob relaxed a little as he held the man's hand. He too had missed hanging out together with him. He realized they'd never really done something like this back in Chicago. The closest thing Abel had done to taking him out was the time they went to that gentleman's club. Any other time he was with him was either at his home or in the night club. It was almost surreal to be walking with him like this and just holding his hand. He didn't want to allow himself to delude into thinking it was a date. For now just being with him would have to suffice. "I have another question." he asked, glancing up towards the man. "Have you ever been to Germany before?" It was a simple enough question. One he thought might help them figure out what to do from now until Abel went home. Jakob didn't mind the idea of playing tour guide.

Jakob knew that Abel would never be his. Even if they did share similar feelings, it would never happen. They were too different now. Abel in his world, and Jakob in his. Even if they could get past such a silly detail, the distance alone would drive him insane. It would exactly like the last two years but worse. He would likely spend his time pining away while Abel made another excuse not to come see him. Painful as it sounded, he was okay with being his friend. He could still hold his stupid hand, make jokes, and spend time with him. And if the man would allow it, just maybe, he would get one kiss out of him before he left.
Guilty as he was for dragging him out here, he was glad that Abel had taken the chance to check on him. He knew it was expensive, and he didn't care that Abel could easily afford it. Hell, he could probably afford a lot of things if he truly wanted to. But the fact that he came anyway was something that Jakob would not be forgetting anytime soon. Together they made their way down the second block as Jakob continued his line of questioning. He was glad for the darkness surrounding them as his cheeks warmed and turned shades of pink due to Abel's teasing. He smiled back at the male and gave a small nod. "I can think of a few quiet places, you might like. Or if you wanted something a little more exciting, we're not too far from Berlin. It's only a four hour train ride."
