Phil and Pepper were busy, busy people but they were also family and they'd long ago decided that they would always make time for each other -- which was exactly how they'd wound up with a long-standing once a week lunch tradition. He'd gotten to the restaurant first, which meant that he was settled in at their usual table -- and yes, they certainly had a usual table. Tradition and all. He was also nursing a glass of wine while waiting for his sister. Nursing a glass of wine and taking care of a few work emails because as long as he had the time, he might as well.
After all, he'd happily put aside everything for her but he might as well utilize time efficiently until she showed up. He hadn't gotten to where he was in life by not being smart about things.
He glanced towards the front a couple times but mostly just focused on his work. Pepper was always punctual, ridiculously so. It was one of several traits they had in common aside from being smart and driven -- because no, they weren't just pretty faces. They'd been underestimated as such, and people had always wound up regretting it.
The sound of heels on tile drew his attention from what he was doing and he looked up; he didn't let just anyone distract him from work, but he knew the sound of his sister's walk. "Pepper," he said with a warm smile.
