Hook didn't look over at her immediately, too focused on his work. He wasn't actively ignoring her, he was ignoring the whole world. She just hadn't caught his attention again yet.

Lotus watched him, and then hauled herself up and out of the water, onto a rock on the shore. Then she waited for him to notice her.

Hook finally paused to take a break and glanced around. He noticed Lotus and hesitated for a moment, but she didn't look angry, or anything. So he walked over, although not into her space like he might normally.

"Looks like your night was about as rough as mine," Lotus commented after a moment or two, noting how exhausted he looked.

Hook shrugged. "I got a lot of work done, at least," he said, neither denying nor confirming. "You haven't left yet."

"Am I... not welcome anymore?" Lotus asked cautiously, watching him carefully.

"I didn't think you'd come back, not after last night." Hook shrugged a bit. "I hoped you would come back, but I didn't think you would."

"I wasn't sure you wanted me to come back," Lotus admitted. "I didn't go far. Just out to where the bottom drops off."

Hook nodded and then scrubbed a hand through his hair. "I... may have been irrational yesterday, myself," he admitted with a little grimace.

"I wasn't much better," Lotus pointed out. She scooted a bit closer on the rock.

"I certainly didn't help things by going off at you," Hook said, shaking his head. "Fool thing of me to do."

"I don't think either of us was thinking straight," Lotus said. She was quiet for a moment. "So... Is it alright for me to come back?" She looked at him hopefully.

Hook nodded. "Yes, love, it's alright. If you want to, that is. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to go." But he looked like he hoped she stayed.

"If I wanted to go, I'd be gone," Lotus said. She hesitated for a moment, and then finally changed form, climbing down from the rock carefully and stepping onto the beach.

Hook walked over to meet her, hesitating a moment before holding out a hand to her. "So, are we okay again?"

Lotus was quiet for a moment.
"I can't promise I won't get jealous again," she warned him. "I'm a mermaid. It happens."

"I can't promise I won't get mad or irrational," Hook said with a little shrug. "These things will happen. No one is perfect." He paused for a moment. "Although perhaps we should both keep communication in mind for next time."

"You're probably right," Lotus agreed. She moved a bit closer to him, hesitantly cuddling up to him.

Hook settled his arms around her, pulling her in close and just holding her there for several moments. He had been worried she wouldn't come back, and he was glad she had.
"We should get you warmed up," he said quietly. "Now that you're out of the water."

"That sounds good," Lotus agreed softly, snuggling closer into his arms. "The currents are changing a bit out there. A storm might be rolling in. Maybe we should stay here another day or two until it passes."

"That's a good idea," Hook agreed. "Stay where we'll be safe and can keep warm." And where he could spend a while apologizing and making sure she knew he wasn't upset.

"Get off me!" Kate tried to kick the man attempting to steal her purse. Because of course he'd pick the one day she actually had dressed up to go to an interview for a potential really nice job, and of course she'd be wearing little heels so she couldn't kick him in the jewels like she really, really wanted to.

"Just gimme the purse," the guy said, scrambling for a better grip on the bag. He was so preoccupied with it that he failed to notice the hand that came out of nowhere to slam into the side of his head.
The mugger didn't even rank on the threat analysis. The Winter Soldier barely had to even think about it as he punched the unfortunate man and sent him crumpling to the ground.

Just for good measure, Kate plucked her pepper spray out of her purse and sprayed the guy. Then she huffed and grinned at her helper.
"Thanks for the assist, nice to know not everyone in this city is a jerk. How about I buy you a coffee?"
