The smile remained. "I, yes actually. German, Russian, Greek and English are the ones I'm good at. Though, I understand some others."

Her smile softened. "Well, I did grow up in Europe, and my parents loved to travel. It's always been a talent for me. But we would move around a lot..."

He nodded slightly, offering the waitress a bit of a smile as she brought the coffees. "Do you have any family around here?"

Clara accepted the coffee automatically, his question actually wiping her mind blank for a moment before she shook her head. "No," she said.

He almost asked about that, and then recalled the mention of Europe and war, and settled for nodding. "Ah."

She glanced down at the coffee rather than him, taking a quick swallow though it was still too hot. "I came over here myself," she said, having burned her tongue.

She took a breath, swallowing, and looked back up at him. "You mentioned a sister earlier I think?"

She smiled faintly, and it might have been a little sad. "Decent life's all one really needs," she murmured. "Too often people go running after other things without realizing what they have." She paused. "What's she like then, your sister?"

He grinned a bit thinking about her. "She's a bit headstrong, takes more risks'n I like, but...she's a good gal, we have our fights, but we get on pretty well."
