Scout looked away, wipng her cheek nervously. “Ah, pardon. I was handling some glass, and well...” she looked at the gash on her hand, “It’s nothing, though. I will take care of it later.” Putting on a smile, she pulled out a chair for her friend with an uninjured hand. “Please, siéger.”

Loki smiled softly at the other’s happiness over her finding the small pocket watch, which held great craftsmanship she hadn’t seen in such a long time. It was nice to see that her speaking of French had been appreciated it was so rare she could conversate in something other than normal English. “De Rien, J'étais assez heureux d'aider. Oui je peux, ça fait un moment que je l'utilise.” Loki replied offering a kind smile in return “Heureux de vous aider, c’est une très belle montre de poche que vous avez là-bas, en vendez-vous à d’autres?”  

Scout felt in heaven being able to speak the language she was born speaking. It was as if her expression was let loose. “Je viens de France. Cela me manque tellement chèrement.”  she explained, setting the watch down on the counter gently. “Cette montre est très importante pour moi. Je l'ai depuis que j'ai déménagé ici. C'est très vieux.” Scout looked the girl over, feeling a warmth she hadn’t felt in such a long time. It was so nice, being sociable and finding new people to talk to. Perhaps she wasn’t as content with her lonely life as she once thought.
