Who: Lilliana & Merrit
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Zzyyxx cafe

Merrit had been in the cafe for two hours going over document files with one of the senior members of the wire. After his seizure had sent him to the hospital for a night and then three days under observation his father had given him a bunch of 'busy' cases. He hadn't been in the courtroom in over two months. Part of him actually liked the break, but another part of him hated being treated with kid gloves. "Okay, so, I'm looking to get the charges thrown out due to lack of evidence, but you have to be prepared for what may come... they're just shooting darts and you happened to get in the way. But from what we've gone over today I don't see that there's any connection to you and the charges." He shook his clients hand and the young man got up and headed out. Merr tapped his tablet and turned it off before lifting his coffee cup only to find it empty.

The lawyer got up and moved over to the counter, patiently waiting for someone. He figured it was probably shift change or something. He saw the girl who had been there early and gave her a small wave. "Just looking for a refill." He said, hoping she hadn't just gotten off work and now here he was bothering her, though seeing as she was the only one behind the counter... he didn't feel too bad.

Lili nodded, her fingers circling the lid of her cup once more. It wasn't so much that she was thinking as she was trying to figure out what to say next. "I should probably catch up on the show before I go diving into it somewhere in the middle, right? I wouldn't want to be lost and having to ask you twenty questions." The show did sound somewhat interesting. She might have to go looking it up later just to have something to talk about later if she ever did run into Merrit again. She figured she would since he seemed to like to do his business here at the cafe. She couldn't understand that really, but to each their own. He did his job in a cafe and she did her job online. The choice of the venue really didn't make much difference as long as you got your job done, right?

"Honestly just starting it myself." Merr admitted. "Been recommended to me by a few people, but I don't really get a chance to watch stuff." Which was true. Normally he spent more time at the office than at home, until recently. Keeping busy with things had always meant he was away from his father growing up. It was apparently a habit/escape mechanism he never got away from. He finished his. "But I'll be sure to clue you in if it's actually worth it." He said with a small chuckle.

Merrit grabbed up his tablet. "In the meantime I should probably go... or I might just end up back at the office for the rest of the night instead- wouldn't be the first time." He tilted his head slightly in a nod to her. "Nice chatting." Chances were he wouldn't be back in the cafe for a few weeks at least- unless he got a new case. Hopefully the one he was currently working on for The Wire would close up soon.
