Alfred had been hanging around the coffee shop in a vague hope he would see Lenna again and wasn't really doing much but reading over some files he had procured over the day, newspaper articles, whatever else pertaining to fighting crime.

There wasn't much. He sighed, picking up his coffee, vaguely thinking he should've put more honey in, his eyes flicked up and he almost spat the bitter drink back into the cup. Instead, he swallowed hard past the lump in his throat.

Omg. What was he going to do? Sneak out? Maybe she didn't recognise him, but she was starting right at him... Maybe he should make a run for it? Pretend he didn't know her?

Beg forgiveness?

He felt his hand leave the table and wave at her.

stupid.stupid.stupid.

It seemed like he had recognized her as well. Either that or he was just being friendly. Or waving to someone behind her. Kim finished the drink and got up. Should she go over there or leave?

Leaving was very tempting, but he'd seen her now. If she just left, it would look odd. It wasn't like she wanted to hit him either, she already did that when they were younger. The reason behind their fight back then was sort of forgotten by now, yet it felt pretty awkward seeing him again today.

All she could do now was just..... wave back...

"Hey Kim," he said, quickly standing and minimizing the window with details (he would have to talk to Lenna about them). "It's been a while, you wanna... sit or something?"

Sit? Was he crazy? She would hit him or something... Oh well, he was here to mend some bridges, Kim is a good person to start with.

[lotusvivi]

Would she like to sit? Kim almost had to think about that, but she nodded and sat down, still unsure of what to really say. What had happened back then was a long time ago. No need to dwell on things, right?

Hopefully he wasn't still that cocky jerk he'd been like before...

".... So... How you been?" she asked after a couple of minutes. Might as well start a conversation, and try to not have it end in some sort of violence. That wouldn't look too good to anyone else.

The American narrowed his eyes slightly. "You tease," he hissed, shaking his head and laughing slightly. "Was it romaaantic, did he sweep you off your feet? Did he use his tongue and everything?"

[lotusvivi]

"Oh, shut up." she said, narrowing her eyes back at him. "Why do you wanna know anyway?"

[waitforsuperman]

Alfred swallowed. Why did he want to know about who Kim was swapping spit with? Was this some kind of protectiveness or was it jealousy? He was never really good at telling those two feelings apart.

So he merely brushed them under the table for the time being. "I'm wondering if I have to give this Toris-guy the condom talk."

[lotusvivi]

Kim blinked and looked at Al. "Maybe you shouldn't talk to him at all. Ever." she said, and couldn't help picturing how a talk like that would turn out.

Alfred could scare the guy away forever. She honestly couldn't see Toris really doing a talk like that...

"I think he's.... smart enough to know how a condom works..." she said, giving him a slight glare. If Alfred did she'd probably make sure he'd never need to use a condom for himself in his life...
