Warnings: None, will update if anything progresses
[ a new voice comes across the network today, low in pitch, fantasy british, but with little inflection, like this is a person who is used to hiding her innermost thoughts. she considered using the video function, but she's still a little too cautious for that. ]
Right. So. Got a few questions. First: Anybody got a lead on good coffee 'round here? Best places, preferred makers or types? Haven't been this long without a cup since I was a teenager.
[ and nobody wants to see her make her own. it'll work for her, but, well.. the results are terrifying. ]
Second: I may be in the market for something to do. Back home I've a reputation for finding things, researching. Might be interested in helping out.
[ people who are good at reading between the lines can pick up that she means she is definitely interested in helping out and putting her expertise to good use. ]
Third: Any leads on writing ink? My pen could use a refill and I have more than a few notes to go over already.
Fourth: ...nail polish? Or is that too much to hope for?
[ this is something of a distraction. yes, she loves keeping her nails painted (specifically in teal) and her eyeliner game is to die for, but a lot of what she's asking for is also a way for her to judge who reacts and how. those reactions will tell her a lot about the type of people are here and who can potentially be trusted for what, who has what kind of information, and the like.
her connection game starts here. ]

I'm sure we'll find some time. Perhaps over coffee, and we have that in common, Neve. I've only recently arrived, myself.
[He can relate. Tea is soothing.]

[ she's got two friends from home and even though they don't have all the answers, it's nice to have that support. ]
Well, at this rate we may well cross paths at the Cafe itself, if we're both planning to try it out.
no subject
Indeed. I'll keep an eye out.
no subject
[ in whatever way that means. ]
As will I. Be interesting to see if the place meets expectations or if it tastes anything like what we're used to.

[And more than he realized he'd want it. He and Elizabeth hadn't exactly parted on the best of terms in their own world, but letting by-gones be by-gones here was likely the best course of action, at least until things made a bit more sense.]
Or if it lives up to the hype.
