Val walks into the bar from the House of Arch in a green sweater, and black shirt. She picks up a mug of green tea from the bar, along with a book. Wait. That's normal. Oops. What isn't normal is her reactions to the book she was given. Sitting down, she stares at the book Bar gave her. Speaker for the Dead Stuttering for a moment, she puts it gingerly down on the table, and pulls out another book from her apron, reading that, but eying the other one.

Faith's angry face goes away, and she puts a hand on Val's shoulder. "I'm glad you did. We're fond of you here, don't wanna lose you."

She smiles gently at Faith, still a bit deflated. "Thanks. It means a lot how many people here care."

Faith smiles back. "Yeah, it surprises me too. I mean, how many care about me."

Beat.

"Oh, by the way...I met another member of our little extended family. Ron Weasley." She grins. "Six siblings, Val? Not enough family, you think?"

Val grins. "Ron's a dear. And he does have a lot of family, doesn't he?" Her eyes twinkle. "One can never have enough family, methinks."

"He was very nice," Faith agrees. "I'm going to teach him to defend himself. Knife-throwing, probably some hand-to-hand."
