She had asked Vale, she didn't really want to be alone and she knew if she asked Vale would probably spend the night ... she wasn't sure she was that brave either ... she didn't want to seem so desperate for human contact ... but then ...... out of the corner of her eye she noticed the gentle they had been discussing waved at her. "Vale ... did you see that?????" She said motioning with her head to not draw too much attention to herself again. "I think he waved at me." Alba was indeed trying to determine if Milo had waved at her. "What do I do?" Her heart rate was quickening and she was at a 100% loss of what to do. ” Of curs,” he replied watching her closely. He certainly would take her home if she wanted to go. After all, he was feeling a little protective of his only friend and wasn’t sure he if he felt comfortable leaving her alone. She seemed to be acting a little funny. Maybe it was the wine she had imbibed before coming to work. ”Say le waird and we can 'ead oot. Maibe pik up a pizza on ze way.” Because yes, Vale could go for some food and something like pizza would do Alba a little good too.
Subtle, they name is not Alba. Valentin thought to himself. But instead of teasing her, he gave her a big encouraging smile. He hadn’t seen a wave, but he had certainly seen Milo looking in their direction. ”Firs,” he said trying not to smile. ”Tak a deep breath. Second? Go say 'allo. Ask 'im what 'e thinks of la flowair.” He reached for her drink. ” And give me zat. Non maire alcohul tonight until you eat food.” It hit him a little funny; the last time he was this protective of someone was when Michael was still alive. It made him feel funny to equate Alba in the same category as Michael. How had she weaseled her way up there? She was too darn nice, that was how. "Go!" He made a shooing motion with his fingers.
As for him? He’d finish Alba’s drink and then go see if that gentleman (Ronan) was enjoying the night’s highlighted plant.
