Sometimes desperate threads are all a person has to cling to. And sometimes a person surprises themselves by surviving by just a desperate thread. Sadly, Dawn has experience in this many times over. Meaning that she would understand were she to know that Gatsby is trying to hard to desperately cling to something. She may only be nineteen years old, but she's experienced her fair share.
As it is, Gatsby's charm isn't lost on her. She soaks it in and it only serves to make her smile grow even brighter. It isn't often that people compliment Dawn. Much less handsome men. And even much less than that, a man with such a flare as what Gatsby has. He's so clearly out of his time, now that she's taking a moment to notice. It's a novelty to her.
"Well thank you. I don't mind taking a compliment when the one giving it seems so super-duper nice all around." Just look at this bloody Alice Liddel curtsy for you, Gatsby. Did people curtsy in 1922? Nope. But she just did. Because it seemed the thing to do. "1922 was totally a fun year. You had all the flapper dresses and gangster cars and... and..." She can't think of anything else cool at the moment. Instead she goes with something historical, which while most don't think it's cool, Dawn does. "And wasn't Yankee Stadium and the Lincoln Memorial built around that time? Cause... awesomeness. They're both still standing even after the year 2000."
