After politely excusing herself to the lady's room -- or at least what passed for a lady's room in this dive, so it was really just a ramshackle foul-smelling room with exposed piping -- Ofelia returned. She slid back into her seat at the booth with a placid smile, as if she'd never left. "Have you been getting the news as well?" she asked, nodding towards Cian's handheld. Elsewhere in the bar, citizens were pausing their conversations in favour of checking their handhelds, brows furrowing as they read the messages, scrolling in perturbation from post to post. For a moment, the natural ebb-and-flow of chatter in the room seemed to hiccup and pause, skipping like a scratched record. |
