Oh please do let's go for a cup. These other things can, um, wait until later. When do you want to go? I'm doing some things with my brothers for the holiday, but I'm certain I could probably, you know, make some time for you. Oh, and Merry Christmas. [Doodled: :) ]
Nonsense. Your brothers come first. We can go after Christmas; I've got to catch a flight on the 28th, but the 26th or 27th--will you be available, or will the theatre claim you right back?
Oh, my, n, it isn't all that exciting. Just--well, just researching a few things. It's the only time in the next few months that my contact associate there was able to accommodate me.
Can I bother you to take me for a cup, then, or are you too engaged by these mysterious not-stockings?

So, what sort of exotic locales are you off to? Or should I save those questions for coffee?

The 26th sounds lovely. I'll keep my otherwise overwhelmingly busy social calendar free.
Oh--well, nowhere, really. I'll be spending the rest of the holiday doing some work in, ah, Turkey, I'm afraid.

You know the Sarayi?

It's just 'palace' in Turkish. I'd be happy to bring you back something.

But thank you. That'd be wonderful. Like bringing back a little part of those places you visit, you know?

Well, I can't very well work there without speaking the language, can I, then?
It isn't any trouble. And I know exactly what you mean.
