"The letter from my father was really old. I mean, he's on the ship, so mail is hard to get sometimes, but this is really old. I don't... I don't think he's coming back from the ocean," Aura murmured.
"And, I, um... walked into a door," she said.

"A door?" He said with a slight smile, letting her change the subject for now, but the conversation wasn't over that was sure. "And where exactly did ya walk inta a door? And what was distractin' ya so much?"

Aura's cheeks flushed bright crimson. "I, um, the pub door. I just wasn't watching where I was going," she lied.

"Lots of things, you know?" she said. "I was thinking lots of things."

He sighed, she wasn't telling him what was bothering her, even if he could figured that it was the letter she got from her father. From what he remembered her parents had died on a boat after it sank. "Whats the date on the letter?"

"Are ya ok?" He knew it was a stupid question as soon as it had passed his lips, but he wanted her to tell him the truth. He waved another barmaid over and ordered two drinks, before looking back at Aura.

"I'm fine," she insisted. "Perfectly fine. How are you, though? I haven't seen you in ages."

He looked at her but shook his head, he didn't believe her, not for a moment. "I'm fine," he said eyes still filled with concern. "As I said I've been around, but mostly in Bronx and Queens," that made him think of Jester which brought a slight smile to his lips.

He brought his hand up to her check and caressed it lightly and put her knees between his own. "Please tell me whats wrong."

"Nothing is wrong," she managed to say, her eyes closed, enjoying the gentle touch. She wasn't used to tenderness from men.
