Well, I guess we made it here first.

[Asbel stands in the entryway, shaking out his jacket and taking another sweeping look around the eating establishment. He doesn't mind waiting, really. If nothing else, it gives him a chance to organize his thoughts a little more.]

[Ever since his visit to the Shadow Realm, they've been scattered all over the place. No matter how much he tries to reorder or put them aside, there are still a few things he's not sure what to do about. And each of those things seems to have names attached. How can he keep them safe? How can he know that they're all right? How long will this war last, how will it end, and when, and what'll become of Lhant in the meantime?]

[But if he can figure out how to approach people about this, then maybe he can puzzle out the rest of it. That's what he's hoping for. He did give his word, after all.]

[And besides, he isn't doing this just for himself.]

[Are you watching him? Lambda?]

[Letting out a breath, Asbel slides into a seat near the entrance to wait for Collette.]

( She's later to arrive, in her electric chair and staying out on the sidewalk to fold her umbrella in before tackling the doors. It leaves her somewhat damp as she comes in, directing the chair through the entrance and pausing to let water pool where it was safer than on the slicker flooring inside.

She wiggles her umbrella into the umbrella holder, looking around for who she expects to meet after everything's reasonably well in place.

Thankfully, he's near the entrance when she sees him. In all likelihood, he saw her first -- but in case he'd been distracted, she lifts a hand, calling out in a glad tone of voice as she rolls his way; )

Asbel! Sorry to be late!

( She's happy he showed up here. )

I got held up leaving the apartments.
