It depends on which day you have classes. I can head over for lunch or after I finish work.

[skald]

Let's do lunch on Monday! I usually have to head over to work once class is done so we'll have more time at lunch.

[prometheanflame]

Perfect. I'll save a table for us.

[True to his word, he finishes his morning work quickly and leaves for lunch five minutes early, taking a seat by the window.]

[skald]

[Tuuri, meanwhile, comes in a few minutes late, her bag open and overflowing and slightly out of breath.]

Sorry! I'm sorry, I got caught up in class. I'm sorry!

[Mohammed is the one on lunch break, after all, so her being late is super rude. She drops her bags next to the free chair, takes a deep breath, and turns to look at the menu over the counter.]

What do you recommend? I can pick it up for you!

[prometheanflame]

[He shuts his book and slides it into his bag. Tuuri just showed up all of the sudden, giving him only a few seconds to pull his thick winter jacket out of her way and scoot his chair a bit farther to leave room for her bag.]

It's fine, I still have an hour left. [He doesn't get penalized for returning one minute late.] We'll go together. I'll pay.

[skald]

[Thick winter coats, pshh, it's barely fall weather...]

Oh! No, you don't have to, it's fine! I told you I'm going to try every coffee in the city anyway, so it's just another one, haha.

[prometheanflame]

[He is dreading the return of winter.]

Then let me pay for mine at least. [He stands up with one hand holding the back of his seat. With the weight of the coat, it's easier to tip over.]

[skald]

Hee, that's fine then. [She fishes her wallet out of her bag and starts squinting up at the menu options.] How's work going? Did anything spooky happen at the museum around Halloween?

[prometheanflame]

Just some annoying ghosts, but the left after Halloween. [He can't see them anymore, so therefore they have stopped existing.] Dr. Sutcliffe suggested we do an exhibit on torture devices for next Halloween. It's being considered by my managers right now.

[skald]

Creepy.

The torture devices, not the ghosts, I mean. Can you make sure Retrospec won't do anything weird with them if you do?

[prometheanflame]

...At this point, I don't think anything will be safe.

[They reach the counter.] Small house blend. And...a vegetarian wrap, please.
