[Cobb is nervous. He doesn't like public places. His re-emergence in crime isn't being taken so well by the powers that be, and police (once again dammit.) are making him nervous.

There's one, by the counter, so he moves towards the back and collides with the girl's table.]

Sor-

[Recognition dawns]

...Sorry.

[ideavirus]

( she jumps a little at that, started out of her thoughts, then looks over at the person who bumped into the table. ) It's okay.
( a bit of a pause ) My name's Alice.

[bestinbusiness]

[He stopped. She wouldn't remember him. What the hell is wrong with me? He frowns]

....Cobb.

[The cop straightens-appearing in the stacks as Cobb sits down next to her uninvited. This. is. awkward.]

...Dominic Cobb.

[ideavirus]

It's nice to meet you, Cobb. ( bit of a pause ) Are you doing research?

[bestinbusiness]

[Trying to hide is a better way to put it. Picking up one of her books he turns it into a screen.]

You could call it that.

[ideavirus]

( she pauses at that, noting his behavior, then asks, a bit quieter: ) Is someone following you?

[bestinbusiness]

[This is still too weird. Between this girl who he-and the plainsclothes police on this tail, this is a bad situation.]

You could say that.

[He lowered his gaze] Do me a favor, when the man in black next to the one who's looking in our direction leaves, let me know would you?

[Instead he's sit here and read....good god what was this?]

[ideavirus]

( she nods at the question. ) I will. ( the books she has are all about dreaming, how it effects the mind, and other such things. )

[Cobb finds himself engrossed in one where the author theorized the nature of inception and if it were possible. He chuckles lightly]

...This one guy's full of shit.

[ideavirus]

The concept is good, but he goes about figuring out hows the wrong way.

[bestinbusiness]

[He flips another page]

....This guy's a moron.. This isn't possible.

[ideavirus]

Not impossible. Just difficult.
