[ She listens to Karolina defend herself with a smile, because it's too cute, she's too cute. So cute that Nico thinks she could honestly just watch and listen to her talk forever about something she's passionate about. (Maybe with some kisses stolen between the words.)
Still smiling at the thought - mental images that will never be spoken aloud - she catches a couple of the fingers that brush against hers, her own curling loosely to keep them there, and her other hand hefting her bag a little higher. ] Yeah... literally, in some cases. [ Her smile becomes a little sheepish, and she shrugs. ] I had to turn some heads with the Staff. So I guess I can't do "don't notice me" spells anymore... But I got everything I needed.
[ And then, she frowns slightly. ] ...Did you? [ Because, unless Karolina is holding something extra in her messenger bag, she seems to have only come all this way for donuts. Which doesn't seem right, somehow, not even for a four-star Yelp rating. (Plus, if she managed to keep Karolina waiting while she just browsed for a half-hour and change, she'll be mortified.) ]
no tears; you're killing it
