Antigone nearly choked to death on her water when she spied Ethan walking into the restaurant with some other guy. "Bloody Hell," she muttered after she cleared her airway and prevented her untimely demise. "Chloe... I really wish we had gone somewhere else now. I am rather confused right now" SHe groaned audbily and lay her head on her arm on the table top. Odd, she knew that. The waiter arrived with their food while she was still resting on the table. Weird looks she got...
Chloe returned her smile and nodded.
"Truthfully, I don't have many friends here either. I was... a very different person when I was at Hogwarts. Not always a very nice person. When I got to my last couple of years, I tried to change, but people still had this assumption about me. Then after graduating, I left and lived in different places all over the world with Muggles and wizards. So, I have a lot of friends in other places, but not so much here. So, I understand how you feel. We could all always use some more good friends." And then something was wrong, and Chloe followed Antigone's gaze across the restaurant. And there was that man who was in the office the other day. Oo... not good. When Antigone laid her head down on the table, Chloe patted her arm affectionately until the waiter brought them their food. She gave him a smile and a thanks, then turned back to Antigone.
"Let's eat and get out of here."
