Elias' deft maneuvering in getting away from the subject of gift shopping was both welcome and allowed to happen without so much as a batting of the lashes by Charlie. She was crap at anything even remotely conversational - once he'd gotten the tray with their burgers, she quickly selected a table in the corner, near a window that gave a view of the street and shopping center they'd just left.
Taking one of the seats bolted to the floor, setting her bag on the seat first and then settling herself in front of it, Charlie let herself swivel on the chair a little. Then she grabbed two fries from the tray, shoving them in her mouth, and then helping herself to one burger-in-a-box. She flipped it open, picking up the bun as though to preview the contents (or maybe just making sure no one had spit in it), grabbed more fries and then looked up, as though searching for something.
"Shi-...I mean, they didn't give us any ketchup. Be right back." She retrieved small packets of the condiment from near the soda dispensers, and then rejoined Elias at the table. Her bag, however, decided to topple over just as she was returning to her seat, falling to spread its contents all over the floor - a light blue bra made of a satiny fabric followed by a pair of underwear made completely out of lace were first to hit the potentially scum-encrusted tiles of the Burger King restaurant floor, along with a black bra embellished with a ribbon along the edges, with a matching thong, finally accompanied by a red bra and matching lace under garment; underwear, surprisingly, was expensive, so Charlie hadn't gone crazy.
"Oh fuck," she cursed, her eyes going wide as the contents spilled to the floor, and she dropped the ketchup packets in favor of grabbing the fallen purchased items.
