[Open Post] ..Tuesday afternoon..

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot feels that things have been a strange mix of tumult and routine. This is probably because they have. But today, so far, is routine in all respects. His day has proceeded apace through his usual steps -- drills, tending to Rivelin, coffee, lunch with Susan -- and the afternoon is now stretching out before him in a very satisfying way. He feels good, settled.

And so it is that he's in the café, reading (or mostly reading), with more coffee at hand. Given that he seems to be splitting time equally between having his eyes on his book and gazing out the window, he will not be bothered if anyone comes to chat.

"That was the point of it," Nina says, satisfied. She takes a sip of her coffee. "Entertainment. I'm not used to having so much free time."

"No? I can understand that; I prefer to keep busy as well."

"Well," Nina says a little dryly - but quite gently, "I've been busy getting kidnapped, participating in a heist, then another heist, then keeping tabs on the start of a war. This place is relaxing in comparison! At least I'm well-fed for my troubles."

He laughs a little, out of pure surprise, then says, "Forgive me. That-- that is quite the change."

"My life has not been boring," she says wryly.

"I should say not," in a tone of appreciation.

"Well," Nina says, with a smile and a little wave of her mug of coffee. "I'm going to enjoy this with a good book now -- but I'll be sure to let you know if we end up putting on a play! Though I'm sure Susan will tell you first."

"Please do," with a warm smile. "It is pleasant to spend time with you."

[ravkanwitch]

"You too," Nina says, and is off with a little smile and a wave.
