Likewise. ( Cafes in Valsheria were a luxury usually reserved for human nobles and visiting dignitaries to share a cup of fancy coffee or tea over business. Lioriley had been to very few, and when she had visited they were never very down to earth. But! She had met Ferdinand at the Steaming Carafe here on the island, and the general vibe there had been extremely pleasant. Though one had to wonder if the delightful company had colored her vision a bit. She would soon find out, wouldn't she? )
That is very kind, but unnecessary. I am the one that invited you, after all. ( she wasn't loaded with credits but she had more than enough to cover their outing. She wouldn't argue it overmuch though, and if he insisted she would likely relent...with the knowledge that she fully intended to return the favor some day in the future.
They could cross that bridge when they got to it though. For now, Lioriley smiled warmly in reply and nodded, promptly and pointedly ignoring the fluttering in her stomach at the thought of this meeting actually happening. And so help her if something stupid ruined it. ) Yes. See you soon.
( She hung up and got dressed, making sure she had her notebook and pens shoved in her bag before heading out. By the time Hakkai arrived at the cafe, she was sitting at one of the outdoor tables, legs crossed, hands in her lap, staring off at something in the distance before he caught her eye and she waved him down. )
