[did someone say surprises This is Viola, who seems to melt out of nowhere near to her.]

It's...nice weather to enjoy a cup of coffee outside...isn't it?

[bernardelli]

[ Meryl jumps in place, but manages to keep her coffee under control. ]

A-ah! Oh... h..hello. Yes, it is.

[poisonwiththat]

Hee hee...hello. [Oh yes. She knew she was going to get that reaction.] May I ask...what that place is...? [She indicates the bar with a tilt of her head.]

[bernardelli]

[ She sighs and looks behind her a moment. ]

Oh! That's the bar. The Good Spirits. That's where I work with Guy Cecil.

[poisonwiththat]

Oh...a bar. [She stares at it thoughtfully.]

Sorry...to ask out of the blue...like that. I'm just getting...to know the places here...hee hee.

[bernardelli]

No, no, that's fine. I did the same things when I was new. Are you settling in alright?

[poisonwiththat]

Yes...everyone has been...quite helpful. [Pause.] Viola...Cadaverini. [She indicates herself.]

[bernardelli]

Oh! My name is Meryl Stryfe. Pleased to meet you.

[poisonwiththat]

Pleased to meet you too, Ms. Stryfe... I don't suppose...there's a...cafe around here anywhere...?

[bernardelli]

Hmm, I know there is but I don't go there very often.

[poisonwiththat]

Just knowing...that there's one here is...good. Thank you.

[bernardelli]

Do you spend a lot of time in cafes at home?

[poisonwiththat]

Sometimes... As long as the cafes...have good coffee.

[bernardelli]

Don't worry. I've had no trouble with the coffee here so far. I practically survive on the stuff.
