Private Finished Victory on a few fronts

"Then we must have very different definitions of honesty."
Hah'en said with a look that clearly said that she was doubting Adryan. The man had tried to lie to her the first time they met, and seemed to constantly put on a front and say half-truths. But...Hah'en wasn't going to force Adryan to change his demeanour. He wasn't doing that to her, after all.
"But in the end this is merely a request, I cannot make you do anything you do not want to do."
Hah'en stated and calmly ate her food, and gathered the last bits of the food into her fork. She always ate too fast in this place, the food was too good.

Hah'en finished her meal and carefully wiped around her mouth, despite knowing that there probably wasn't any food there. It was a habit. She folded the napkin, set it on the edge of her plate and then proceeded to give Adryan a deadpan look as she answered.

"We shall see, then. But if I hear you utter the words 'it's not what it looks like' at me I will most definitely make sure you will never see me again."
Hah'en's tone was completely serious. She would not tolerate Adryan forcing her believe things, just the fact that he had used it on her twice and one of those times worked was grating her nerves.
"You do not owe me anything, I do not do anything I do not want to do. If you are here you must be here out of your own volition, if not you should walk out that door right now."

"I do not think any normal jail would hold you for too long."
Hah'en said with her eyebrow slightly raised.
"And I also do not think you are completely in your right mind, if you were you would have avoided me despite the fact that I did not deliver you to the authorities."
Hah'en shook her head a bit, Adryan was a frustrating and confusing man but at least Hah'en was not bored in his company.

It was as if the waiter could sense them being done with their meal, because he suddenly appeared from the kitchen with the same kind smile from before. He collected their empty dishes and turned towards Hah'en, and this time she noticed that the waiter purposefully had his back slightly turned to Adryan. Hah'en realized the waiter had done the same thing each time he had been to the table, he had only focused on her.
Maybe she came here too often, this was bothersome...

"Would that be all? Any dessert?"
Hah'en glanced at Adryan, back to the waiter and she shook her head.
"No thank you. What about you?"
Hah'en purposefully shifted the attention to Adryan, because if this waiter really held some kind of attraction towards her she didn't want him directing it towards her so obviously. It was embarrassing for both of them when Adryan was right there.

Hah'en wanted to sigh when she saw the look in Adryan's eye. She would hear about this later, for sure. But for now she just wanted to redirect the waiter's attention, and Hah'en felt relief when Adryan didn't order any dessert. She didn't even argue about Adryan taking the check, though when the waiter left Hah'en gave the man a small glare.

"That was unnecessary, we are splitting the check."
Hah'en stated while they waited for the waiter to return.

Adryan did end up teasing Hah'en about the waiter, but Hah'en merely looked unimpressed and this time actually sighed.
"How could you possibly give him my number when you do not even know it?"
Hah'en said and raised her eyebrows slightly. She had not given Adryan her number, and there had been no opportunities for Adryan to somehow find it out.
"And if teasing me like this is an indirect way for you to ask for my number just ask me straightforwardly, it is faster and simpler."

Their conversation got cut short when the waiter came back, and Hah'en didn't want to cause a scene so she begrudgingly let Adryan pay the bill. Hah'en wasn't overly prideful but she didn't like owing people, or being in their debt. Those were ties to hold her back.
"Thank you, and come again."
The waiter said after Adryan finished paying the bill, and Hah'en firmly ignored the glance the waiter sent her way. Instead she nodded, waited for the waiter to leave and stood up, heading to the exit.

"Since you have now congratulated me, I will be on my way."
Hah'en said once she they were outside, turning to face Adryan. She allowed her shoulders to loosen a bit now.
"Thank you for the meal."
