Re: Painting The Town Green
By: Lina Moreau Date: December 16, 2016, 3:27 pm

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."
