Mikaelson. Dva.

[Josie's breath catches when the lights come up, glistening against the glow of the water and she settles back into the seat with a sigh. She still can't believe she's here in a lot of ways, and she worries he's going to wake up to it being some kind of fever dream.]
This really is beautiful. For someone who claims to be new to the romance game, you did an excellent job.
You know, I'm kind of glad we didn't have to? Don't get me wrong, the Malivore monsters were totally our thing and we handled it best we could, but ...
[The hunters and the danger they represented seems above their paygrade. She's glad the adults were willing to step in for this one.]

[Those parts of Hope were always there, she just needed to feel safe enough to show them. But with that being said, she'll follow Hope's lead.]
Lead the way.

Just because I haven't played the game, doesn't mean I haven't been there on the sidelines. Unless your sister dragged me in.
( Metaphorically and literally, Josie. )
no subject
Did you go to her for some pointers?
no subject
( She's YOUR sister, Josie. )
no subject
[Though she will give her sister a thank you, later.]
But I infinitely prefer your company in this context.

( Which was the only reason she even got into her room, but, this is back then. Not here and not there.
She smiles, a bottle of wine being bought to them. )
I prefer your company in every context.
( The waitress pours two glasses and takes the wine back with her. She lifts a glass for a toast. )
To the best girlfriend I never knew I could have.

Right back at you.
[It's so nice to be actually on the same page with someone, for once.]

They should know by now that there are no secrets in Mystic Falls.
[At least, not any that stay hidden for long.]
But let's hope things stay calm until we get back. If things get worse, they might need us.
[Even if the adults would rather not.]

You know, it's only fair that I should get to plan a date too.

( She grins. )

[She'll be sure to give her proper warning in advance though.]

( Hope kisses her once, not being too gratuitous as she sits back. )
I love you, Josette Saltzman.

I love you too, Hope Mikaelson.
