Indiana Jones drifts downstairs. He seems relaxed enough as he orders some fajitas and an iced tea. He doesn't bother looking round much as he settles in at a central table, unaware of anyone who may be seeking him. Perhaps he looks a little more distant than usual, but he's just your typical quiet, mysterious adventurer eating some Mexican really.

"Won-derful," Indy exclaims. "Everything seems to be going so well for you. I'm so glad."

There's a slight pause.

"It's a nice change to see someone so happy."

She smiles at him, then gives him another hug.

"Are you better this evening? You seem it."

"A little. Except... I hurt someone again. I didn't mean to, but that doesn't really matter."

She sighs, hugging.

"Who did you hurt?"

"Svava," he says quietly. "I told someone something about her that she had forgotten, that she would have told them eventually. It wasn't my place."

She continues to hug him.

"I'm sorry."

"Not a good week my friend... not a good week at all. I wish I could do something to repair what I've done." He rests his head on her shoulder.

She pets the top of his head.

"Say you're sorry? Give them gifts?"

"I said I was sorry, but I don't think gifts are going to cut it. I'm not bothered about Lorelai. It's Svava that worries me. She was very upset. I think I may have ruined her only chance at love."

She winces.

"Ouch. ...who was it?"

"Archie? A sailor from before my time. Nice guy."

"I don't know. Maybe things will work out?"

"Doubtful. I can only hope. But... I shouldn't say anymore about it. It'll just cause more pain for everyone concerned."

She hugs him tightly, trying to comfort him.

"Thanks. I'll be fine sweetheart. You just go and show some more people your lovely clothes. I don't want to bring you down."

She hugs him one last time.

"Have a good evening, Indy."

She then wanders off, looking back at him worriedly.
