8/12

Allura, it's Ana.
This is a strange request, possibly, but...
Do you want to grab some coffee with me today?

Hello Ana!
I would love to drink coffee with you.
Do you have a favorite place?

[She wonders what the occasion is. The last time someone asked her for coffee it was to badmouth the academy.]

There's a quaint little cafe that James showed me. It's on one of the side streets of Soleil and I would highly recommend it.
I'll meet you back at the dorms at Lum's entrance? Does that sound alright?

[ part of this is because she wants to get to know allura. the other half is...well, boyfriend's gone. she needs to find something to do to occupy herself. it's a little selfish, but hey, we're knocking two birds with one stone here. ]

[quintessent]

That sounds fine!

[There's a small pause before the next message.]

Can you tell me the number of minutes it should take you to arrive? I am still getting used to your form of time measurement.

[highelves]

Certainly! Five minutes, which isn't a very long time.

I will set my ticker now!

[...Do humans call it a ticker? Oh well, hopefully Ana got the idea. And Allura will be waiting politely, as promised, 5 minutes later. Her hands politely folded in front of her and she's watching the goings-on at the front of the dorm when Ana approaches, and when she spots her roommate she gives a polite nod and a smile.]

Just on time. I believe.

[She's still getting the hang of this.]
