If they didn't know one another, then why had the atmosphere been so tense? Why did Eliseo completely ignore Jack like that? Valerie found herself blinking up at the man owlishly as he partook in one of her pastries. "Curious." She mused to herself out loud as she set the plate aside. Her brows furrowed as she spun it over, trying to get the figures to add up in a way that made sense, but based on the variables available she simply couldn't solve it. "Then," Valerie blinked again, raising her gaze to match his own. "Why did you act like that towards him?" Wasn't it kind of rude?<br/><br/>Not that Jack's actions were much better. Though she understood them. Eliseo's, however, she did not. It bothered her when she didn't understand something. Nothing was ever quite so black and white as it was painted, and in this case that was being proven in spades.<br/><br/>"Oh-- er," The girl nearly sputtered as she realized her own poor manners, and quickly offered him her hand. "I'm Valerie. Valerie Hayward." She smiled despite herself. She wasn't quite certain if she was glad to have met this man yet or not, but she did enjoy being called beautiful. So she'd just have to focus on that lovely bit of silver lining for now.
