Beach: Felicity and Van
"Then you wait and find someone who you don't act as much of a dick to," Felicity said as if it were simple, "And I'm not saying trip over yourself to be nice to people, but toning it down a little may make you more appealing." Which was sort of how the conversation started. He wanted to know if she found him attractive or appealing or . . . whatever he believed kelpies to be.
She leaned back in her chair and looked at him, "Is that really what foster homes are like? Darwinistic?" It would make sense as to why Van tended to be so abrasive to others. She knew she should be grateful to have a family to claim as her own, but she always knew she was more of a bargaining chip than a daughter.
