[Menzies and Kay are sitting at the table in the kitchen, waiting for Christopher to arrive. she has set out a plate of cinnamon rolls in the center of the table, remembering Christopher's excitement over baked goods and hoping it will act as a sort of peace offering--not that she plans to let him off easy in the least. but she figures if they have any hope of making progress through words, they have to show some good will to start--and she sincerely hopes they can make progress through words]

[as she waits, she's working idly on paperwork and munching on a basket of chips. Kay, meanwhile, seems engrossed in A Tale of Two Cities. she's wondering how long it might take for him to arrive. thank goodness time is irrelevant on the Plane--outside of the boredom of waiting, of course. she drums her free hand on the table as she writes, her only outward gesture of tension. she's ready to get this over with]

[When Christopher arrives, it's with that same carefree manner as ever. He looks unarmed. (He isn't.) He looks unprepared for a fight. (He has already thought about how to take them both out.) Rail is here, and Christopher wants Rail to be able to be safe here. So he'll show up, find up what the humans want, and probably take his leave.]

Oh? A colleague I don't know. [Christopher gives Kay one of his florid bows.] It's a pleasure. My name is Christopher Chareau de Red—but you already know that, don't you? Well, I don't like to interrupt an avid reader. I'll wait.
