Damien almost hadn't noticed someone suddenly sitting across from him. Couldn't be a reporter or there'd be others. A friend, then. A girl that he knew. Which was confirmed once he heard her speak immediately after, and now looking up toward her, recognized her immediately. Alicia Spinnet, from Hogwarts. Now that must have been an interesting education. As was their sport. He was sort of glad now to not be sitting alone. Having a friend to talk to or just hang out with was often a good thing.
He laughed at the comment, giving a shrug and quipping back, "Oh, well the cellphone reception is pure hell around these parts," he said in jest. He knew they had talked after the skydiving as well, but also understood the need to joke around once in a while. He figured that such was needed. Especially with how things were going lately. So much tragedy and chaos. But as Ruby had said, they could rebuild and come back from this, as they had done before. "So.. how are you," he asked, speaking again. "I'm off work now. Just got here ten minutes ago, actually. So, if you're hungry, I was about to order in a moment. I understand their fish is quite good. Oh! Speaking of food. How do you know if someone is a vegetarian?" He paused, then added with a smirk, and laugh after, "It's easy - they'll tell you."
