RP: Lorcan and Lucia
Date: 20 July Characters: Lorcan Scamander and Lucia Carmichael Location: Caffe Dei Ricordi Private/Public: Rating: Summary: Something happens.
Lorcan surreptitiously checked the clock; lunch time was slipping away second by second. The meeting he was in had started with a demonstration of a couple of new illusion spells that had fizzled -- literally -- and a couple of hours later the meeting had degenerated into an argument between Lorcan's boss and one of the project managers over the viability of using a particular approach for the project. The argument was mostly political, which left Lorcan bored, and left considering what he was going to do for late lunch as the most important question he faced in this meeting.
He realized abruptly that it had been two weeks since he had actually seen Lucia, the night she'd left after learning the news of her father's death. He'd been meaning to see how she was doing, and if he went today he'd miss most of the lunch rush and have a chance of actually seeing her at her restaurant. And he had no meetings, or anything else of note scheduled for the afternoon.
Now, if the meeting would just break up...
Fifteen interminable minutes later, Lorcan entered Caffe Dei Ricordi. He didn't see Lucia immediately, but even if Lucia wasn't here, he was so relieved to be somewhere other than at work that he found himself giving wide smiles to strangers as he tried to unobtrusively stretch a kink out of his back.
