Being stared at in silence isn't a new thing. It had been once, but not anymore. Which means she's more than happy to wait. Because when Squall does that it's usually some sort of 'Hang on I'm thinking' kind of moment.

[What she doesn't expect, is that it's because he's decided to give her the scarf.]

Really? [At first she's overjoyed, but only for a second before realizing. Wait, he's like her so it's not like he's got a lot of equity. How novel, she's not used to being broke] Are you sure?

[Even as she says it, Rinoa's going to reach out and take it, because he seems like the sort of person who'd get annoyed and take it back if she delayed too long. She's careful as she holds it, cradling it like it's precious. Because it is.]

Thank you so much. I owe you one.

[He's very lucky that she's not hugging him right now. It's tempting, but he doesn't look like the sort who'd appreciate it. Rinoa knows her limits.

Unfortunately for Joel, he'd been trying to get rid of her? This is going to have the opposite effect. She's probably going to be in the store even more now. Probably with coffee. Because He looks like a coffee drinker. Truthfully, what he looks like is an alcohol drinker, but it's not like he can drink while working. Besides, it's very unlikely anyone would give her any.]
