Mina: (Nodded sheepishly)

John: Oh and, Aaron. I got something for ya.

Aaron: Huh? For me?

John: (Taking his daggers for him) Here, here's your daggers. (As he put the daggers & slide it to Aaron)

Aaron: But...I didn't order anything?

Aaron: (Chuckle) Ok, John. I will took it. (Took the daggers) How much?

John: No need.

Aaron: Huh? Again?

John: Yeah I know it's bad for business, but...save it for your future...girl.

Mina is confused at John's remark & tilted her head curiously while Aaron is in disbelief, sighed out of disbelief & shakes his head.
