[ it feels... a little too much like he's seeing right through into something that karen didn't plan on leaving open. not in a bad way, necessarily, but something that surprises her. something that she hesitates, in the midst of feeling, and then suddenly feels too vulnerable, too open, like she should never have been here at all, and a little bit of a flush spreads out across her cheeks and ears. her eyes go from him, to her drink, before she sits up a little and tucks some of her hair behind her ear. she's not exactly sure why she's feeling flustered, but she's appreciative of the fact he lets that line of conversation go.
then it's another sip from her glass, then it's a little convincing, and she's had just enough to drink that she takes the out he gives. she doesn't want to think about another job because that means she's thinking about staying, but there might be a chance he has the right job picked out. whether or not she knows it yet.
you want to take me looting? he says, and Karen can't help the way his chuckles has her giggling, just a little bit. ] I don't know. I think you could pull one off. [ a beat, and then she laughs again, shaking her head and stands. ] But they have more than Hawaiian shirts. Come on. [ she holds out her free hand for him. doesn't really matter that they've just sat down, this sounds... much more interesting. much. ] I'll show you.
[ he can either take her hand or pass her the bottle - she leaves both options open for him, just in case. ]
