Thornton sighed, and slumped a little. He looked up and turned to Tessa. "I just don't want to let my family down."

He scrunched up his face, though, at her nickname suggestions. A nickname? "I.. I don't know about that. It doesn't really feel like me." He hesitated, realizing it was rude to shut her down like that. "What if you called me Baines? That's my last name, but it could be a nickname, too, right?"
"Of course!" she replied with a large smile. She understood what he met about if smarts what was defined him. "You define yourself, Thorton," she told him. She watched her friend slump down and she frowned. "I am sure you'll be great! Come on! They must be proud of you, you gotten this far in life, even made it past the squid," Tessa replied, "As long as your proud in yourself that's what counts?" She was pretty sure he was proud of himself, remembering the way he had introduced himself.
She laughed at his scrunched up face. She pouted at her suggestions that were turned down, but liked what he suggested. "Baines? I like that," she said with a larger grin than before. "So, Baines. Tell me more about you!" she exclaimed. "You think Leo and Brooklyn found their tables alright?" she added, remembering the two others.
