WHERE: The cafe to start
WARNINGS: PG-13 or so

It was probably a good thing for the former Potions Master that his path had not crossed Tonks'. That would be a most unhealthy thing. Of course, she was an Auror, and that meant she had to act with a certain degree of ethics. But, on the other, in extreme circumstances all Aurors could be tested, and could be convinced to use an Unforgivable. When it was that or death, or the death of a loved one, sometimes there wasn't any real choice. Tonks herself had never used one, being relatively young and fairly inexperienced, but she was starting to think that she could do just that, if she'd seen him.

He'd stayed out of her way, though, or perhaps their paths simply hadn't crossed. Nor had she seen Marcus in awhile, which was also, in her opinion, all to the good. What would he think now that he knew her horrible first name? So, she hadn't consciously been avoiding him, but the effect had been the same. She was already starting to miss him, however, and it really hadn't been all that long. No doubt, she had a strong desire to be around the man who had recently become her lover.

Maybe she would face her embarassment and go find him later. First, though, it was about time for lunch, and a little past time, actually. She headed to the cafe, noting in passing it was a lovely day. She really should be doing something about getting off this Planet, and she knew it... but Lunch, and Marcus, could certainly come first as far as she was concerned. With that decided, she seated herself and waited for a golem to come take her order.

Marcus had been having a fairly good time since the planet had changed itself into a lakeside resort. The hike he had been obliged to take had been lovely, and he had spent the next day wandering by the lake. If he had any complaint, it was that he had not seen Tonks at all since the change. To be honest, he hadn't seen her since the snowball fight back in the winter wonderland. Despite his efforts to track her down after her conflict with Snape and subsequent flight, she had proven untraceable. He was beginning to realize that he was going to have to begin to consider that she had disappeared, as so many others had done.

Pondering all of these matters, as well as how he was going to spend his day, he entered the cafeteria to get some lunch. Finding a seat by the window, he looked ahead, and was pleasantly surprised to see Tonks seated facing him several tables away. Blinking to make sure, he immediately got up and wandered over to her table.

"Fancy meeting you here. So you eat, too, do you? We have so much in common! Mind if I sit down?"

It was really almost as if he thoughts had summoned him. The dark-haired Ranger walked into the room, and the oddest sort of emotional thing happened to her. She felt like she was going to burst from the sudden joy she felt, and yet she also dreaded the inevitable time when he made fun of her for her horrid name. Visibly bracing herself, she looked up at him warily.

"Um... yeah, I eat now and then, just for a change of pace, you know." She bit nervously at her lower lip and eyed him for a moment. When he showed no inclination to immediately mock her, she relaxed just the slightest bit and even smiled a little. Still a bit anxious, she tucked a strand of her hair, typically bright pink, behind her ear.

"It's all yours..." she gestured generously at the chair opposite her, and was saved from any potential awkwardness by a golem arriving. "Oh... chicken, I want chicken today. And, of course, pumpkin juice. Mashed potatoes." The thing turned to Marcus, obviously waiting for his order as well.
