Words flew from his mouth in fluent Spanish, surprising her momentarily, but also drawing her in a bit further. She didn't know much Spanish, but she knew enough to understand that he was saying something about his mother. "I don't know a lot of Spanish but I could always just reply in French," she told him with a chuckle. A few seconds later, she got the full translation of what he'd said and it brought a wider smile to her face.<br/><br/>"Really?" Val liked hearing that. "Well, she sounds wonderful already." It also sounded a lot like he was fairly close with his mother, which was nice because it reminded her of her own mother. "My mother was a pianist so I that's kind of where my love for music stems from." The fact that her mother was no longer around was something she'd probably have mentioned as well, but it seemed like something a bit too personal to talk about with the other people around, even if, for now, it seemed like she and Danny were mostly just speaking with each other.<br/><br/>Valerie nodded in agreement when Danny correctly deduced that she was here to live a little, and also hopefully find someone along the way. When it came down to answering her question though, Val was instead met by another question aimed at her, though a less heavy one considering it was about food.<br/><br/>She watched as he pushed his plate a little closer to her in offering, and smiled before nodding yet again. "I was going to grab a plate but if you're offering, I'll never say no to food," she told him, chuckling softly as she grabbed a fork to swipe a piece of chicken off of his plate. As she ate, Val continued to wait for an answer, and the ones she got were... confusing, to say the least. But it also piqued her curiosity.<br/><br/>Brook's answer made it seem like she'd found something in Danny, which Val admittedly never would have guessed from the moment she spotted them. Then again, her gaze had mainly been on Danny. Speaking of,<i>his</i>answer didn't quite match Brook's. That was interesting. Valerie didn't want to step on anyone's toes, and the last thing she wanted to do was hurt someone, but like Danny said — it was only day three. It probably wasn't too out of character for him to not share the same opinion as Brooke. Right? It was a little too soon to tell how solid things were.<br/><br/>Val was definitely interested in Danny, and she got the feeling that it wasn't totally one-sided. If he wanted to make things work with Brook then she'd respectfully step back, but if he was at all interested... well, she may as well shoot her shot, right? Or at least hint at her interest.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I still have to catch up on everything that's happened," she said in response to Danny's statement. A lot could have taken place in three days, easily. "But I'm looking forward to seeing what the next few days bring." She took another piece of chicken and washed it all down with what was left of her champagne. "Would you mind showing me around? I haven't gotten to see the entire place since I got here," she said, directing her question to Danny but glancing between both him and Brook because she was unsure if that was crossing any kind of line, but a tour was innocent enough, right? "You can also fill me in on what else has happened along the way."
