kara gets something too- a bowl of water for now and a biscuit as a treat for being the best dog for sticking to anya's side. though anya should probably watch out for water splashes as kara begins to drink from the bowl.
when the waiter leaves to get their orders running, ainsley's cheerful expression softens to something more thoughtful when turning her attention to anya. better to breach the conversation now than later. ]
