[ Today, Guilford is taking a break from his work, and to further take his mind off of the events of the day-before-last. He can be found:

1) In the morning at Dani's, the coffee shop, enjoying a cup of black tea and some biscuits. The booth is empty, and there is only one cup, but surely he can't be expected to read and enjoy breakfast in peace when the establishment is so popular amongst the other inmates, now can he?

2) Spending mid-day in the library, perusing the shelves while he hopes something catches his eye. Fiction is the order of the day, and perhaps he should expand his reading now that he has the opportunity to peruse selections from multiple worlds so easily.

3) Finishing off the evening with a quiet drink at the tavern. The Devil's Compass might have had a number of occupants earlier in the day thanks to the other man's call, but it doesn't seem like a lot of individuals stuck around. Which suits Guilford just fine as he sits at a table, nursing some bourbon on the rocks. In an uncharacteristic sight, his glasses are off and resting on the table, and even his hair has been let down. His expression is far from being relaxed. ]

	[She smiles. She'll remain standing unless she's invited to sit. She doesn't want to seem presumptuous] How are you this morning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well enough, thank you. [ Said with a brief decline of his head. He takes note of her tea, but her body language has not yet made it clear if she is merely indulging in pleasantries or if she had some business with him.

Next, he sets down the book in his other hand, a finger folding a corner to mark his place. At least he can give her a few moments worth of attention. ] What of you?

	I've been doing well. Nothing that I can complain about. [She has nothing specific that she wants to talk about so she is just exchanging pleasantries] Hopefully those robots didn't cause you many problems a few days ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ ...Guilford now takes a pointed sip of his tea. ] I imagine they caused difficulties for many inmates. [ Not going to directly answer that, nope. It looked as if the question itself made him grossly uncomfortable. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-02 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm sure they did. [She can tell that topic made him uncomfortable so she quickly dropped it] I wanted to thank you again for recommending me for the music class. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Good call, there. He clears his throat and gives her a polite smile. ] Think nothing of it, Ms. Kaiou. It was good timing that you announced your interest in tutoring others in music near the time that Ms. Zelda had been spirited away. [ In a fashion, at least. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, that is a coincidence. [A rather odd one] But it worked out well that the class didn't have to stop. I hope that she has gone home where she doesn't have to worry about this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed. [ It's bad form to be envious, since there could easily be other explanations for what happens to inmates who go missing. ] We are fortunate to have your expertise. Have you begun to draft your lesson plans? [ Someone was taking this rather seriously, even if some teachers did not. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-02 03:23 am UTC (link)
	I have. I've been working on them since the staff meeting. I'm hoping to be able to have the class again in a few days. The schedule says tomorrow is another class, but I'd like to give the students and potential students some advanced notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A reasonable plan. You appear to have the situation well in hand. [ A direct comment on her foresight, with no flattery intended. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-02 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. I hope your side of the work is going well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	by_your_command 2012-03-02 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Well enough. It seems there is little different in the way I organized my duties during my previous incarceration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-02 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	That is helpful then. It's good to hear that its not too difficult getting organized. I hope I'm not holding you up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	by_your_command 2012-03-02 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all, Ms. Kaiou. [ A quick glance downward. ] However, it would not do to let your tea grow cold. [ So she can either take that as an invitation to be seated if she has other business, or can return to her morning routine. He is polite, but indifferent. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-03 02:22 am UTC (link)
	That's very true. [Well, she doesn't have anything else in particular that she needed to discuss so she'll give him another smile] It was talking with you and I'll let you enjoy your tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	by_your_command 2012-03-03 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, Ms. Kaiou, and you as well. [ It's just as well. He'd like to finish some light reading before he goes to fetch new literature. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2012-03-03 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	Have a good day. [And she will head off to continue her errands and let him finish his tea] (Reply to this) (Parent)
