          “UNA VIAJE.” fernando repeated, warm eyes looking at the other man, a polite smile on his lips. “i have been told you work too much. what you need is a short trip, no work, no duties. it is all about relaxation.” he had seen many places in this world before, for him, it was set that he would spend the rest of his life on this island. harry, however, was still young... younger. he should take advantage of it. 

    “ Harry Headbanger ” a wide grin spread across crimson lips, she had a couple of memories about this one, of course, she hadn’t really spent a lot of time with the men who were running left and right to catch a part of Donna’s attention but she did remember him. “ You probably don’t remember me, I’m Tanya, Donna’s... tall friend I suppose? ”

It is no great secret that Rita Hanson adores people. She treasures the connections she’s made through her life, and sees nurturing them as one of her greatest joys. It is also no great secret that she doesn’t need to have something obvious in common with someone to befriend them - she is a firm believer in the idea that you can find common ground with just about anyone, if you approach life with an open mind and an open heart.

What she really loves, though, is when her friends surprise her. When people she thinks she knows inside out manage to catch her off guard in the best kind of way - or, as has happened in this case, when a throwaway comment reminds her of a shared piece of their lives that they’ve somehow never discussed.
