       Lina’s face fell slightly as she opened the wallet and saw the
       scant amount of cash. She put the wallet back, and examined the
       lock picking kit and medical supplies briefly before returning
       them to the bag as well. Then she came across the knife. As she
       held it, a wave of nausea passed over her. She could practically
       see the headlines again.
       City Council Member and Wife Stabbed to Death
       In a violent motion, Lina threw the knife back in the bag.
       Without any warning, she pulled the bag’s strap off her shoulder
       and chucked the bag at the taller girl. “There!” She snarled.
       “There’s your stupid bag. You’re right about one thing… I should
       have known better than stealing from your type.” Her voice was
       full of venom.
       “I can tell by both the fact you carry a knife around, and that
       you’re not afraid to call someone to threaten me, that you’re
       not afraid to hurt people. I know people who have lost their
       lives to people like you, so keep your precious bag,” she
       snarled, then stomped towards the door. “Now get out of my way.”
       She suddenly felt something wet on her cheek and she stopped
       dead as she put her hand up to it. She pulled it away to see a
       teardrop smeared across her fingertips. She hadn’t even noticed
       that the memory of the horrific news had started her crying, and
       she stared down at her hand in pure hatred, as if it was the
       hand’s fault Lina couldn’t hold in her emotions like she wished
       she could.

       Tinder watches the bag as it's tossed back at her, flinching as
       the girl starts to speak. Something set this girl off, though
       she has no clue what. Standing firm in front of the door,
       refusing to move, "People like me? What kind of person do you
       think I am? I barely even use that knife, it was given to me as
       a gift from one of the few people I have in my life. I only use
       it in emergencies, not like you would care though. I don't like
       hurting people... I've been hurt enough times before, I don't
       want to make other people go through that. I just wanted my
       stuff back, I wasn't even going to call anyone. I just wanted to
       drop some names."

       Lina dropped her hand, redirecting her glare towards Tinder.
       “You’re right, I don’t care about your excuses,” she snapped.
       “Fact is, you’re carrying around a weapon, and that says a lot
       about you, regardless of where you got it from or if it’s ‘only
       for emergencies’,” Lina said, lifting her hands to do air
       quotes, her disbelief at Tinder’s words clear. At hearing that
       Tinder had been hurt, however, Lina looked very tired. “Yeah? I
       bet… I bet I can match you and raise you in that department."
       Her shoulders hunched and her tears suddenly increased until she
       was sobbing. She broke eye contact with Tinder and went to the
       restroom wall, which she put her back against and shakily slid
       down until she was sitting. Then she hugged her knees to her
       chest, buried her face in her hands, and just cried.

       Tinder puts the bag over her shoulder, moving back a bit as Lina
       talks, a bit nervous of her. When the girl walks away and starts
       crying Tinder doesn't know what to do, she doesn't deal too much
       with emotions. Unlocking the bathroom door she opens it and
       moves out a bit, "We're eating here if you want to join us. I
       know you don't believe me, but I really don't want to hurt
       anyone. I have been hurt too much myself, I don't want anyone
       else to loose the people they love." She heads out and heads for
       the table that Niv is at.

       After eating her fifth breadstick, Nivalia looks up to find
       Tinder returning with her bag. "Oh, you found it! Where was she?
       You know what, don't tell me. I gotta tell you, the menu here
       looks awesome. Whatever you want Tinder, my treat. Heck, that
       girl can come up and I'd pay her bill is that good."

       Tinder let's out a sigh as she plops down into the seat, rubbing
       her head slightly as she tries to get back on track. "Thanks..
       but I'm not really hungry anymore. I think I messed up in there,
       I made her cry.."

       "What!?" Nivalia asks, surprised. "Tinder, you're a cinnamon
       roll too pure for this world. I find it hard to believe you made
       someone cry." She picks up another breadstick and downs it in
       three bites. "Besides, she stole your purse. She's lucky she's
       not getting arrested."

       Lina didn't even seem to hear Tinder's invitation, just
       continued sobbing. When the other girl left, however, Lina
       slowly raised her head, her face streaked with tears. It took a
       minute to sink in what had just happened. "Stupid!" She snarled
       at herself, quickly getting up. She couldn't believe herself.
       She had lost it in front of a complete stranger. She couldn't do
       that. Roughly wiping tears away, she paced in the bathroom as
       she tried to decide what to do. Finally, her shoulders slumped
       and she swung open the door, heading out into the main
       restaurant and searching for the girl.
       It only took Lina a moment to find both her and her friend,
       sitting at a table with bread sticks. Lina tore her gaze away
       from the food and looked at Tinder, clearing her throat and
       quickly muttering, "Look, I'm sorry I stole your bag. I was
       just-" Her stomach let out an enormous growl, and Lina's cheeks
       grew red. "-hungry. And I'm sorry about what I said about you.
       I... I had no right to judge you. I hate it when people pretend
       to know me when they don't, and yet I did the same thing to you.
       The knife just..." Her voice grew very quiet. "...brought up
       some bad memories..." With every word, she looked more and more
       uncomfortable. She wasn't used to apologizing.

       Tinder glances at Niv for a second and sighs before putting her
       head on the table, "I handled it badly.." When she hears someone
       clear their throat she quickly sit up and looks over, a bit wary
       of Lina until she starts speaking. When she finishes Tinder
       pulls a chair over and pats it a few times to try to get her to
       sit, "Don't worry, I've had to do the same thing more then a few
       times. You gotta remember, watch your target first, make sure
       they have money or they'll end up being a dud like me. I'm sorry
       I was so harsh in the bathroom, the stuff I have in here is
       really important to me. I should have warned you about the knife
       though, I know how hard seeing stuff like that can be when
       you've had bad experiences..."

       Nivalia couldn't help but empathize with Lina. Her growling
       stomach confirmed some truth at least. "Being hungry is the
       worst, and can bring out the worst in anyone. Take a seat,
       dear." Her smile becomes warm and welcoming, "Come break bread
       with us. Both figuratively and literally."
