"Yes, yes we did." Christian pulled the army knife out of his pocket. "Very useful and dependable, like a good things Swiss." He smiled serenely.
In answer to Eiryk's other question he said. "We can keep one of the better ones open for you if you like, but I informed Aishe that she'll be working with you." He tapped the sketch book. "While I work on this."
Picking up the book, he frowned and said. "I got the impression I should hurry." Christian patted Eiryk on the shoulder. "Good luck, call me if you have any questions. I'm be looking at furniture."
With that said, he walked out of the coffee shop, waiting until he rounded a corner before breaking into a grin.

Car Lag
Rowan slung his duffel bag down on one of the chairs at the empty table outside Barney's. MARI had directed him here when he'd asked about the closest place to find some coffee. He'd invited her to join him but he wasn't sure the AI had gotten it. No sense of humor. He set his cup down on the table as well, and, still standing, braced his hands on his back and stretched.
It had been a long drive into Nachton but here he was, in the big city, for however long he decided to stay. He had a job lined up working nights, of course, at a clinic near the Towers and a place to stay that he'd check out as soon as he was appropriately caffeinated.
The mall was reasonably crowded in his opinion although he didn't know what qualified as crowded for this time of night. There weren't very many open seats around. The aroma coming from the coffee shop was delicious though, which probably accounted for the crowded tables.
Finally sitting, somewhat reluctantly as he'd spent the last several hours sitting in his car, Rowan pulled a book from his duffel bag, giving a contented sigh as he stretched out his long legs and picked up his coffee cup. Opening his book he began to read, not paying complete attention to the words on the pages since he had read this particular book many times before. He skimmed while he paid attention to the ebb and flow of people around him.
This definitely beat the dead silent mid west.

"So I can depend on you coming to take me away?"
He laughed at the idea of them keeping a cell open for him. If it was going to be his, well he'd have to decorate it and he'd also have to make arrangements for Alex to come and bail him out. Or... hmmm... there were some fun and exciting prison games... maybe he he should arrange for Christian to take him in or buy some handcuffs, which ever came first.
Slightly dumbfounded he watched Christian leave. That really had been a joke. Eiryk was tickled as hell Christian was running with it, but totally unexpected. He'd stop by security and or run into Aishe and make sure Christian got his card and some help, as well as a list of stores that Eiryk used on a regular basis.
"Good luck! Don't pay retail."
He lingered for a while thinking that he really should come out for coffee even more often. This was fun.
