"Sorry, I didn't know anyone else was up yet" he said smiling at the woman.
"Have we met?"
She put her mug down and smiled, chin in hand "A few years ago at the last
gala this House had. You were telling me about how you had to swing down
and retrieve an artifact before Ms Moreaux called us into the next room for
an announcement and you disappeared."
"Swing down any cables since then?" she asked with a teasing grin as she
pointed to the coffee pot "And there's some fresh brew."
