[They had been relatively lucky in the war. the boys too young to be really recruited, as was her sister and Chiara herself was simply too stubborn and too much of a brat to go along with anything she didn't want to. Hiding may have been a cowards way, but it's a way they chose.

Others hadn't been so lucky, she remembered, once she saw Antonio. Momentarily giving up on her chase for her younger siblings, she picked her way through the crowd, stopping next to the Spaniard. She doesn't touch him, knowing how shaky his nerves must be, but she does manage a polite smile, ignoring the frowns she herself gets for coming over.] Signor Fernández? It's been awhile, hasn't it?

sounds like a plan

( He's a bit engrossed in staring off into space - although, that's not abnormal for him. This time he's uneasy though. Too many stares, too many people bothering him when he just wants to get some shopping done. It was always the same in England, even after the dust of the war starting to clear. Not that he blamed them. It was just. Well, it was awkward. And Antonio had never been fond of awkward.

But, the familiar voice breaks him out of his one-sided staring contest, making him jump just a touch in surprise. Having someone not hurling curses his way for once today was a surprise in and of itself, let alone someone familiar. It takes him a moment, but he places the face, a warm - although, a bit worn - smile spreading easily across his face. ) Ah, Chiara, right? It has been quite awhile!

[Carefully she finds and takes a seat, adjusting her skirts as she does. There's no point in asking, he wouldn't deny her and frankly she'd take it anyway if he did. Resting an elbow on the table she watches him, hair tied back for once, small curls escaping at the nape of her neck]

Si. But it happens. I'm sure we've all be very busy these past few years... families can do that. How is yours, by the way?
