Nita at the bar!

To her surprise, the door was unlocked. Still is.

She'll be leaving tomorrow -- come talk to her before she does.

She gives him a smile. "Dai, Professor. How're you?"

[gramarye1971]

'Well enough,' he says, setting his glass down. 'A quiet drink here, before I retire for the evening. And yourself?'

[nita_callahan]

Her smiles widens. "I'm Unbound."

[gramarye1971]

Which prompts a smile from him. 'That is good news indeed. Have you already returned, or do you intend to leave soon?'

[nita_callahan]

"Tomorrow. I need to take care of a couple of things before I leave."

[gramarye1971]

'I wish you well, then,' he replies. He looks a little more grave now, but his expression is still kind. And he slips into the Old Speech, giving his words a slightly more formal tone. 'A safe journey, and good fortune in your work -- in the Light's name.'

[nita_callahan]

She inclines her head. "Thank you."

Switching back to English, she smiles ruefully. "It's going to weird to go back to work."

[gramarye1971]

'It often is, after a hiatus.' Merriman picks up his refilled glass of port. 'Rather like facing a Monday morning on a far grander scale.'

He tilts his head to one side, looking pensive for a moment. 'Do you expect difficulties, upon your return?'

[nita_callahan]

She frowns a little. "I'm hoping not."

[gramarye1971]

He studies his glass, swirling it gently. 'Merely a question. As unpredictable as things may be here, they seem to be even more unpredictable out there.'

He takes a small sip of his port. 'I will not keep you, for I am certain you have other preparations to make. But do take care, and I hope that you will return here if the opportunity presents itself, Miss Callahan.'

She nods, and her expression lightens a little. "Of course I will." She grins a little. "Everyone needs someplace to relax."
