Closing her eyes, Tami let out a dreary and frustrated growl. After all the time they had been on the move together, she still found it difficult to muster up any feelings other than anger. Not that she wasn't justified in feeling this way. Ragnar had pretty much been the one responsible for taking her away from places she had considered home. All she could ask herself was "What more can he do now?"
Not looking at him, she replied, "Not really. I don't like it here. I'm freezing my butt off."
Tami had just turned fifteen that day. Her appearance had changed a bit in the past year. Not only had her hair grown much longer, but she had also become taller and her figure had filled out. Whenever she had the chance to look at herself in a mirror, she seemed satisfied with her new, mature image. Still, she wished she could be in a more stable environment where she could focus more on shallow pursuits.
Her disregard for his efforts was already obvious. Not that this was out of the ordinary, of course. Since failing his past mission, he had been drifting around and keeping an especially low profile. Tami coming along, he felt, was his way of helping. She certainly had nowhere to go after they mysteriously lost track of the Valkyrie Express.
"This is how it is all year in this place. Most people consider it enchanting."
"I consider it cold and annoying." Tami retorted, folding her arms irritably and ignoring the glares and muttering of the other patrons around. She didn't like being around Ragnar, but she had no choice. If she did, she would have ditched him. Preferably in a prison.
Harsh. She seemed to care so deeply about her physical appearance, but obviously not as much about her social standing. He let out a sigh, feeling uneasy with the unwanted attention.
"I am certain we both agree that you do not count as 'most people', so you may consider it as you like." He glanced down at the menu after that. "Will you be eating anything tonight?"
