Caroline frowned, as the smile on Hawke's face slowly faded. "You should smile more often. It's cute when you do!" She realized what she had said, and covered her mouth quickly. Her face became red, and she nodded. Caroline then started laughing at herself. She was just snickering, though. She leaned back in her seat, and uncovered her mouth. Caroline laughed a bit more heavily, but not very loudly. She set the phone on the table, scooting it back to Hawke.

{{Happy 4th of July!!}}

HAWKE

Hawke, despite himself, laughed. It was impossible not to laugh when she was laughing at herself. Laughter, especially when directed at something like embarrassing yourself, was contagious. He flashed her a pearly smile, arching his eyebrows. "You think so, do you? Well you know you're pretty cute when you embarrass yourself.." Hawke chuckled, hoping what he'd just said would come across as more playful than abrasive. He wasn't good at light talk. He wasn't very social at the facility that he was in. He still wasn't. Social skills were not a prerequisite to being a mass murder machine. Although some tendits had been taught the social graces of a royal in order to fit in.. He was not one of them, though.

~Caroline~

Caroline smiled, and flipped her hair back, playfully. "I know I am. No need to flatter me," she said, sarcastically. She stood up. "I will be back. I need to use the restroom." Caroline walked slowly towards the wall that had a large sign, saying, "Restrooms →". She pushed the door that said, "Women's" and stepped inside. She had only used the bathroom at Hawke's house, and at the concentration camp, so this was different. Yet, she knew how to use it. Caroline stood in front of the mirror for a bit, laughing a bit and shaking her head at the color of her face.

((On tablet - it's being glitchy ))

HAWKE

Hawke chuckled as he watched Caroline run off to the restroom. He was feeling happy and lighthearted, then all of that suddenly fell away when he saw her. She had short, brown hair, light brown eyes, and a mouth that made her look incapable of smiling. She wore a black cardigan with a loose white tank top, dark skinny jeans, black flats, and a gold bangle. Hawke's heart stopped as he tried to bury his face in the dessert menu. He didn't know her name - but he knew who she was. She was his old Archery trainer. And she was heading straight for the bathroom. Hawke's mind raced. He quickly wondered if she would recognize Caroline, but since he had seen a lot of the Tendits in his facility, he figured they had stayed at two different facilities, which meant the woman probably wouldn't recognize Caroline.

Eva Tallow walked into the women's restroom. She went in to straighten her windblown hair. She was normally alone when she came to the restaurant at this hour, but there was somebody else in the bathroom with her. The other person was a wirey girl in an unbecoming baggy sweatshirt. She looked nice enough, though, and had a kind face (even though kindness was never really a quality Eva particularly cared for). "Hello," Eva said placidly

[youre_the_onlyreason]

Caroline just had finished drying her hands off when a woman came in. She had unruly hair, that seems to have been blown around by the wind. Caroline paid her no mind, until the woman greeted her. Caroline was stunned, and didn't know what to say, so she acted casual. "U-Uh... H-Hello..." Caroline threw the paper towel in the trash can, and turned around completely, to face the woman.

[Avaloni]

The passing greeting Eva had given was meant to serve as only that; a passing greeting. But since the girl turned to give Eva her full attention, It was only customary to respond with giving the other person attention also. Eva tried very hard to be polite. She wasn't too well versed on the do's and don'ts of the western culture, having come from New Germany and recruited by Goldhawks. She tried her hardest to be polite and cordial to compensate for her job. There were many that weren't happy with the new governing power, nor the sort of almost marshal law that the police had used for the few unsure months before the Goldhawks truly dominated the area. "I'm Eva Tallow..." Eva said,politely ignoring the girl's flustered complexion. Tallow was not Eva's actual last name, but it sounded more American than her real surname. Eva hadn't been there for long and was still awkward with her interactions.

Caroline nodded her head at Eva. "I am Caroline. I had better get back to my table... My pie is waiting to get eaten... Nice to meet you, Eva." Caroline slowly turned to the door, and hesitantly made her way over to it. She just really hoped that Eva was not wishing for a large conversation, and wanted Caroline to stay longer. Caroline kept glancing over hershoulder, trying to see if Eva was interested in her at all.

[Avaloni]

((Hey, sorry this took so long.... my tablet has been really glitchy and the keyboard wasn't working... anyway, I have no idea what was wrong with it but it's better now.))

HAWKE

The check was already on the table, the pie already in a white Styrofoam box. When Hawke saw Caroline come out of the bathroom he hurried to catch up with her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Let's go. We're leaving. Now. I'll explain later." And with that he felt like making a mad dash to the door, but forced himself to walked slowly, waiting for Caroline.

{{I am so sorry! I got grounded for a long time, so don't expect me back anytime soon, unless I can sneak on. Again, I am really super sorry!}}

[Avaloni]

((That's fine, I understand.))
