Il Pollo, Saturday Afternoon
Val had arrived a few hours ago, but they hadn't had a lot of time to themselves yet. Ender wanted to catch up with his sister in private - it had been a few months, and while they hadn't been quite as eventful as the previous year, a lot had still happened. He wondered how much of it he should share with her. She'd definitely like to know about Peter, but... well. Things in their family were always complicated. (In most families, he was starting to think-- few people he'd met here had simple loving relationships with their relatives, the way you saw them in the movies.)
Lunch had seemed like the best option, because he wasn't about to take Ben up on his offer to leave the room to them for a while. And so shortly after noon had come and gone, Ender took his sister down into the town to get some food at Il Pollo.
He sank down in the booth with a small smile on his face, and stole a menu from the table next to theirs. "You look good," he said, warmly. "Eros can't have been treating you that badly."
