01<@Ardweden> [Hank leaves the cafeteria! Tiffany follows! Madness ensues! Or not.] 06* Hank does leave. Yep. Sure does. 06* Tiffany follows up after Hank. Once she's in an area where she's out of earshot of cafeteria listening peeps and others, she speaks up, crossing her arms. "I'm impressed you didn't deck him right there." 06* Hank glances back over his shoulder. "'M tired. Too tired to put up with that little shit." 06* Tiffany sighs. "He did almost lose a friend..." She frowns at herself. "Fuck. Why the hell am I standing up for him?" 06* Hank shrugs. "You tell me, yer always doin' it." 06* Tiffany winces a bit. "I..." She kicks the floor. "Fuck, you're right." She hisses then hops a bit on the foot she kicked. "Ow!" 06* Hank shrugs again. I don't think the little dick's gonna change. I just... 06* Tiffany sighs and puts her fingers through her hair. "I've been dealing with it for so long, y'know? I guess I've just kind of gotten used to it." That don't make it right. You're right, Hank. It doesn't. And sooner or later, he's going to realize that we're going to stop giving a shit if he's on our team or not. Never figured he was. I ain't the one been inviting him to tag along. 06* Tiffany sighs. "H-how's your sister?" 06* Hank blinks. "Susanna? She's good, why?" I...uh... 06* Tiffany blushes a bit and looks off to the side. "She seems pretty cool. Uh...is all. I kind of wanted to talk to her more." 06* Hank blinks a few times. "Oh, uh. She'd probably like that. I think. I don' think she has a lot of friends yet." 06* Tiffany blinks. "Wha? Really? But...Um, well. I, uh, mean. She's gorgeous!" 06* Hank shrugs. "Don't mean it's easy." I...uh...well, I mean...I guess not... 06* Tiffany shuffles her feet. "But...um....yeah. If she wants to hang out, I, uh, I guess I wouldn't mind it..." 06* Hank nods. "I'll let 'er know." 06* Tiffany half smiles. "Thanks. Uh." She loses it into a frown a couple seconds later. "Uh. Sorry about earlier. Uh, I mean...I wasn't trying to stick up for Tyler or anything. I...if there's anyone I'd rather watch my back, it'd be you and Javy over him." 06* Hank rubs the back of his head. "Uh... Thanks, I think. Y'know I didn't help him 'cause I like him." 06* Tiffany looks at Hank. "You think I *did*?" She frowns. "I just don't want anybody to get lost again, y'know? There's too much already. I mean there's already..." She pauses and just glances blankly for a moment and freezes then looks down at the floor. 06* Hank nods. "Yeah." 06* Tiffany snaps out of it for a moment and takes out her phone. "You got her number?" 06* Hank nods. "'Course." He pulls out his cell phone and flips it open, then pauses. "Just don't... Y'know..." Don't call her when Tyler's around. I don't want him anywhere near her. 06* Tiffany frowns. "I'm not stupid, Hank. I don't want to hang around Tyler any more than I have to. Believe me." Yeah, well... Just makin' sure. 06* Tiffany eyes him. "The only reason I'd do it is because it'd give you an excuse to kick the crap outta him." 06* Hank frowns, his expression turning dark. "I mean it. If he so much as touches her, I will put him in the hospital. Don't think I can't afford it." 06* Tiffany looks at him earnestly. "I'm not going to do it, Hank. I promise." 06* Hank nods. "Aight." 06* Tiffany sighs. "Sorry to make you worry." 'S nothin'. 06* Hank says. Maybe a little too quickly. 06* Tiffany looks at Hank for a bit to make sure it really *is* nothing. Then goes back to her phone, ready to take down the number. 06* Hank reads it out. 06* Tiffany nods. "I won't call her until after you ask her and tell me it's okay. I just figured it'd be good to get it now." 06* Hank nods. "I'll ask." 06* Tiffany turns to go and pauses for a moment. "Um, Hank? Since we, uh...since we both saw those things...I need to get some sleep tonight. But how about the next night? Just you and me. Let's walk and see if we can find out anything else about them. Don't tell the others, okay?" She emphasizes *Walk*. 06* Hank blinks a few times. "'Aight." 06* Tiffany breathes out a sigh of relief. "Thanks. Uh...I'll see ya around then." She heads off without looking at Hank again. 06* Hank heads off his own way, not really sure what just happened and too tired to puzzle it out. 01<@Ardweden> [Session End!]
