"Just tell him that. When you're ready," she started. "Tell him you miss him. Just say that you'll give him the time he needs, of course, but make sure he knows that you'll miss him," she suggested. "Or just wait it out," she added. Then Ev asked if she had anymore questions and Kara cocked her head from side to side. "Hmm..." she finished her scoop of ice cream. "Do you want to tell me about your ex lover?" as in who he was, what team he played for, how long they'd been seeing each other...

Ev listened to Kara and then nodded. "I will. I'll tell him that," she answered resolutely. Ev really had no idea how Dustin would respond to that, but she hoped he wouldn't mind, that he'd feel the same. At least the advice was coming from someone that Ev trusted. She knew that Kara wouldn't tell her to do something just to torment her or make things worse. She seemed to consider things when Ev asked if she had more questions and Evelyn ate more of her ice cream as she waited. Then the question came. The inevitable one. Ev shivered slightly, glad that she could blame it on the ice cream, when she started to think of Rocco. She nodded. "His name is Rocco. He used to play for Puddlemere United, but he went to go visit his brother in another country." Or something like that. Ev knew that he left, but she'd been too torn up at the time to really pay attention to the specifics. "We met last fall and he was ... wonderful." A small smile crossed her face as she remembered all the amazing times they had together. Then she pursed her lips. "Until he told everyone about our relationship before I was ready. I just ... I don't understand why he would do that. I mean, why he did it. It ruined everything," she looked down at her ice cream, eating a little more.

Ev agreed to tell Dustin how she felt, and Kara nodded. Glad that was settled for now. Kara worked on her ice cream as Ev decided whether or not she was going to talk about the fiance. Then, Ev apparently decided yes and Kara leaned forward to listen, still working on her ice cream in order to make sure that she didn't interrupt. Rocco, Puddlemere... she wasn't actually sure who that was and she felt kind of bad about it. He was wonderful, in the fall, of course. Ev smiled and Kara smiled a little too, a sympathetic one. But then Rocco told and oooh that was not cool.
Kara waited for a moment of silence as Ev went back to her ice cream before speaking up again. "People do things without thinking," she said slowly. "I know that better than anyone," she laughed. That was kind of her handle, actually. "But... I think that if it was meant to be it would be, you know?" she wasn't the best at saying things that sounded smart but she WAS good at being honest.

Kara was a much better listener than Ev expected, but she was glad of that fact. She knew that she sometimes had a hard time expressing herself, though that had been easier as of late. For some reason explaining everything to her team captain made it easier for Ev to access her feelings and explain herself. By the time she was done explaining, she was focused on her ice cream, waiting almost anxiously for Kara's reaction. She nodded when Kara said that people did things without thinking. "I know that," she said softly, "But if it was a secret that you discussed keeping that way, wouldn't you be careful about it?" Ev asked, a low note of desperation in her voice. Up to this point, she blamed Rocco for giving away the secret when he wasn't supposed to, but she also felt weak. Did she react to strongly to everything? Ev couldn't decide.
Ev nodded slowly at Kara's next comment. "Yes, I think that makes sense," she said after a moment. "I just ... it's all taken me by surprise and," she took a deep breath. "It's been a hard few weeks," Ev muttered, downplaying how hard it really was. There was no point admitting that. What's done was done and she was pretty sure she made it past the hardest part. "What about you? How have you been?" Ev tried to change the subject.

Kara listened as Evelyn said that she understood, but then went on to ask, basically, what she would have done in that situation. What her ex should have done. Karen nodded, frowning a little bit. "Since you guys had discussed it previously, it is incredibly not okay that he broke that trust. It's very understandable that you broke up with him, even though I'm sure it was a mistake. But mistakes are called mistakes for a reason, it's something bad that happens even if it's not on purpose. But it's still bad. And that's hard to get past."
Evelyn said that it made sense, that it all took her by surprise and that it has been a hard few weeks. Kara reached a hand across the table to gently place over Evelyn's hand. "Well, we're here for you," she reminded Evelyn hold her and Karen.
Then Evelyn asked how she was, and Karen knew a subject change when she saw one. She smiled squeezing Evelyn's hand once before pulling her hand back. "I've been great," she said. "Reconnected with my friend Brandon, you know the one who I've been pen pals with for years. And I've been making another new friend, his name is Poe, and he's an auror, do you know him?" She doubted Evelyn would, why would Evelyn a quidditch player know someone random who worked in the ministry. But it was worth a shot.

Kara started explaining what she thought about what Ev told her and Ev felt the relief flood through her. She was glad that she'd broken up with Rocco because her trust had been broken, but at the same time she had lots of misgivings. She doubted her decision and was looking for someone to help her feel more comfortable about it. Ev nodded slowly, "Thank you for listening Kara and for what you said." Ev didn't really know what else to say about it. She appreciated that her friend was here.
When Kara reached across to touch her hand, Ev gave a grateful smile. "Thank you," she responded.
At Ev's question Kara pulled back and said that she was doing great, talking about her friend she reconnected with. Ev smiled, "Well that's fun! Have you gotten to spend time with him or did you reconnect with through owls?" Her head turned to the side a little as she thought. "Poe ... no, I don't think I've met him. How do you know him?" Talking about someone else was nice at the moment. Kara was a good sport.

Kara just nodded but didn't say anything further as Ev thanked her, both time. "Oh, Brandon and Karen spent time together at the carnival in Hogsmeade. I got to say hello for a moment before it was time to go," she added. "As for Poe," Karen grinned, leaning forward again with both elbows on the table, "we met while I was out and about one night," Ev would know that Kara preferred to take matter into her own hands, and oftentimes ran through the streets looking for trouble. Fights to break up and bad guys to bust, things like that. "And he happened to be doing the same. But, sadly," she let out a low growl, "Karen made us leave. But then I saw him at the carnival!" she grinned.

Ev smiled as Kara stayed explaining where and when Karen spent some time with their friend Brandon. "What did they do at the carnival, so you know?" Web Alex curiously. She'd wanted to go to the carnival, but hasn't been able to since she was just getting back into the swing of work. Her eyes widened with interest when Kara started talking about Poe. "Well that sounds interesting," she commented. "What did you and Poe do together? I mean, when you ran into each other that night and then again at the carnival." Ev hadn't ever heard of this particular auror before and was anxious to learn a little more. It sounded interesting, top say the least.

Kara shrugged, "Karen wrote it down, but I'd have to read it again. There was loads of games, a ferris wheel... lots of kids," she laughed. Then Evs eyes widened as Kara described meeting Poe, and asking more about it. Kara leaned forward excitedly even more, "I was... causing a little mischief. Superhero stuff," she chuckled. That was her way of describing her vigilante acts. "These guys were causing trouble so I stopped them... but so did Poe," she placed a hand on her chin and looked up at the ceiling with a dreamy look on her face. "And then at the carnival we just talked for a bit. I'm hoping to see him again, though..." she admitted.

Evelyn laughed when Kara gave a very brief explanation of what Karen and Po did at the carnival. It sounded about right, at least from what Ev heard about carnivals. She'd never really been to one so she was just assuming now, but people enjoyed them and it sounded like Karen had fun, so that made sense, right. She could tell by Kara leaning forward that she was excited about the next part. "Well, that definitely sounds like an interesting story, you both stopping the same people. Did you get into an argument with one another and let them get away?" Evelyn was teasing now. It wasn't something she would normally do, but she knew Kara well enough to know that the girl wouldn't judge her if she said something that might be offensive in an effort to tease. Not that she was being offensive now ... she didn't think. She smiled as Kara started trailing off, saying she hoped she'd be able to see him again. "I hope you do too. It sounds like you've been having fun," she commented. "Does Karen like spending time with him as well?" It would be hard to see him if Karen hated him and Kara liked him. That aspect of them just seemed difficult to Ev in general, but it was also curious so she couldn't keep herself from asking questions about it.

Evelyn was teasing but Kara let out an appalled gasp, "I would never!" she said, smirking a little, in reference to Ev asking if she let the bad guys get away. Then Ev said she hoped Kara would get to spend time with him again soon, and asked about Karen. "I think she does, yes! Which is new for us... I mean we have some of the same friends. You, Brandon, Andrew," she explained, "but I'm not sure how this will play out... oh!" she sat up straight and looked out the window, across the street. "Madame Malkins is having a sale on dress robes and dress wear! We must go!" she squealed happily. She ate the rest of her ice cream and once Ev was done with hers she would drag her friend across the street to complete their afternoon with aggressive shopping.
Plus, what better way to cheer up Ev and have a good time than shopping!?
