Signe put down her money too. "It's ok. I'll be fine. This isn't the first time I've been shot down. I'msure id won't be the last."

"You'll find the right-" she was going to say 'one' but that wouldn't be right in Signe's case. "People." She waved her hand at Signe. "I'll leave you to it then. It was nice getting to know you better though, I hope we can still do that girly night with the others. See you." She smiled and turned to leave the restaurant, taking out her phone as she did so. Without looking back, Aurora left, feeling very hot under the collar. Another fever?

Signe nodded and waved goodbye. She had made up her mind.

Margarita entered the restaurant with Taniel. It was lunch time so it was relatively busy. They managed to find a table at the back. "Sooo, what are you studying? " She decided a nice simple conversation shouldn't do any damage.

Taniel entered the restaurant and followed Margarita to the back, sitting in a chair with it's back to the wall.
"I'm studying Palaeontology, what about you?"

She raised her eyebrows "That sounds very interesting. I am doing joint honours in biology and chemistry. So far we are on genetics in the biology course and principles in organic chemistry. A bit dry but I like it" she smiled. "Have you made lots of friends so far? Anyone with the same interests?"

He looked away from her, his shyness starting to show.
"I haven't made any friends during my time at University. I have acquaintances within labs and stuff" his voice was quiet.

Margarita looked concerned for a moment "Oh, and why is that? You should be making friends. It's good, healthy even"

"I know!" he snapped turning his head suddenly to look at hers. He stopped, realising what he had done, and tried to look anywhere else but at her. "I know" he repeated, his voice much softer. "I know that havig friends is good, it's a wonderful feeling, being surrounded by those that like you. It's just in my journey thus far through life, I've made friends who turned out to be either just putting up with me, hoping I'd eventually leave their little group so that they can competely cease communication with me, or just spend their time insulting me whilst I was with them".
He looked at, tears glistening in his amber eyes. "It's why I chose not to make friends, because it leaves you vulnerable". He looked away, and opened up his backpack, taking out some tissues. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said any of that" he mumbled, dabbing at his eyes.

Margarita stared at him. She didn't even move at his outburst. God knows she has had countless of those. Even worse. "I didn't mean it like that. I should have been more careful. Look, I am sorry you had to go through that but clearly they weren't even your friends. Just some horrible people who used you. In fact you should be glad you are away from them. No one needs toxic people like that." She smiled gently at him tried to look him in his eyes "You shouldn't think all people are like that. You will have to trust someone eventually. Ï know it may sound scary but you don't want to be afraid all your life, do you? " She remained silent for a bit then laughed trying to make the situation brighter "You shouldn't trust me though-I am weird"

Taniel smiled at Margarita, his confidence coming back slowly.
"I'll try, you and your friends seem to be a good place to start. Why are you weird?"

"Yes, I think you can trust Aurora and ther rest. They seem like nice people. As of me..." Margarita's eyes darkened and she turned her head away from him "Let's say usually I always end up hurting the people close to me. I guess I have bad character and "too emotional and wild" as one of my teachers called me." Then she looked back at him trying to be as happy as possible. "Sooo, I was going to ask you if there is any girl in your life but that's pointless now" She laughed but joylessly.

Taniel tilted his head to the side for a second, as if he was working something out.
"I've heard it's better to let your emotions run wild rather than bottle them up and let them eventually explode" he said "Besides, it means every moment will be exciting and different rather than mundane and boring" A blush started to creep up his collar when she asked about his love life "You got me, guilty as charged"

Margarita laughed "Believe me there is nothing fun and exciting about it." Then she looked down and muttered "Especially if it had cost you a few friendships." Margarita looked back at him, something mischievous in her eyes "You seemed to enjoy a lot your conversation with Signe yesterday."

Taniel recognised a conversation topic that Margartia didn't want to tread back on again, so attempted to nimbly move around it.
"She just seemed to lonely and desperate. Aurora sort of dumped her on me, and I didn't even know any of you. So I tried to make the best conversation I could, which sort of worked until Aurora came back out and kissed her" the blush on his collar spread to his neck.
