Eventually, Topher had actually found his lab, checked things out in there and made sure everything would be in order for when he needed to start actually working on anything. He was pretty well settled in by the time he thought about actually seeking out food and made his way toward the lounge, this time managing not to get horrifically lost like he had earlier.
After grabbing his tray and locating food, he glanced around, trying to decide where he should sit and then, well he would be lying if his heart didn't catch in his throat a little when he noticed Sebastian.
Not, he reasoned, that there was any chance at this stage in the game of anything happening. After all, the scene earlier had been kind of, well awkward was a good word for it, and maybe the bad cop joke hadn't gone over as well as he'd thought. He didn't think it had come off as anything but a joke, but given the moment? Topher could see that possibility and...it made things just a little awkward, didn't it?
Oh well, he'd have to get over it sometime, he decided and walked over, though he didn't sit just yet and nodded a hello at Sebastian.
"We meet again." He proclaimed, grinning. "And you look absolutely exhausted."
