The whole mole situation was making Hawk think about things he didn’t usually think about in better circumstances. He didn’t like to think about wars and horrible stuff that happened back when he was a kid but it popped into his head anyways. His kindness was one of his better qualities and it was what brought him to New Rome in the first place.  As he entered the movie theater’s lobby, he was stopped by the ticket taker. "Ticket please?” Hawk wrinkled his nose and shrugged. “Don’t got a ticket, man. I’m not even here to see a movie!” Honestly his goal was right there. The man asked for the ticket again and he only responded by staring the man down. With a sigh, he rolled his eyes, stepped to the side, and stepped over the red rope separating him from the rest of the lobby.

Ignoring the guy calling after him, he strolled right up to the concession stand. Side-stepping the line, he went over to the side where it was free. Hawk tapped his hand on the little swinging door to get the attention of the girl working the counter. “Val. Hey Val! You think you can take a break? I just want to talk to you really quick.” A person at the counter cleared his throat, shooting Hawk a glare. “Do you need a cough drop or are you just being rude,” Hawk squinted at the man in line before turning back to the target of his trip to New Rome, making sure to flash her a bright smile.

Marlow Acerbi was always one to be outspoken and a little bit of a social climber. No one would be shocked to find out that she would be friends with someone like Valentina. If anything, they would be shocked to learn that Marlow had offered to be a mentor to anyone in the first place. With her bad reputation for being self-centered and an outright bitch most of the time, she shocked even herself by offering to take the younger woman under her wing when she’d first gotten to camp. She’d even had a part in getting her into the fourth cohort but, of course, Marlow always had a plan and a reason for everything she did.

 It had been a while since she’d seen her younger friend, after all she was done with her years of service now and there was nothing to keep her in Camp Jupiter. The brunette saw the looks that people gave her when she walked past them. She wasn’t stupid at all. Still, she was a little shocked when she showed up to the Thermae and almost ran face first into someone. "Valentina! It’s been too long! If I didn’t know any better, I would think we were avoiding each other!”
