Appointments -- Luceti

This is Barnaby's voice mailbox. It looks like we've missed eachother, so leave a message and I'll get back to you soon.

[But...politeness. She knew his name, and was a link to Sternbild and the information that he needed-- if he could somehow get her to talk straight.

If she was capable of doing so.

Barnaby wasn't sure how to take her smile, but it might be easier just to go along with her offer.]

I'm not sure how well cabbage rolls will travel, but there might be something else.

[It wasn't a confirmation that he would go with her, just a suggestion that he might consider it.]

[Unfortunately for him, she's going to take that as a confirmation regardless. Once again, she looks as though he's just made her day when she answers.]

Oh, I'm sure it will work out. Do you have a favourite recipe for them?

[...he had no idea what he just roped himself into.]

To be honest, I never did figure out how to make them.

[He's about to find out, though!]

That's all right. We can just pick a nice one together.

...

You really are serious about this, aren't you?

Oh, yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be serious?

[She genuinely looks as if the thought never crossed her mind to joke about this. Unless she's really great at faking it, she is 100% earnest in her desire to take him on a picnic.]

It's...strange.

[He truly believed that she wasn't lying about her intentions, not with how open she's been this entire time. He just had never had anyone so casually insist that he join them on a picnic.]

[Her confusion continues to grow.]

Why is it strange?

[They were talking in circles now. He could feel it.]

We barely know eachother, Miss Grune. But--

[There was no use fighting it.]

We can do something sometime. I've an open schedule.

Why don't we go today? That way, we can get to know each other much better.

[After all, why put off time with a friend?]

I've got other things to do today.

[Like figure out the fire and the wings. He didn't like fire.]

Could I take a raincheck on it?

A raincheck?

[Automatically, she looks up at the sky. Wrong kind of raincheck, Grune.]

It doesn't look like rain...I don't think.

[Barnaby followed her gaze and automatically understood the problem.]

A different kind of raincheck, Miss Grune. Perhaps we can arrange for a different time...?

Oh, all right. [She still doesn't quite understand what he means, but that's okay.] Then I hope we can go sometime soon.
