Sometime much later, after Will's party, Sooraya and co. are squashed into a booth. She still is edgy, and if she tries to sleep now, either here or at home, it's not going to work.

So. Hot tea, and a journal and pen, to give her something else to think about.
Botherable, however.

...there is a puppy.

Nancy, responsible and sensible as she is, is still only barely out of her teens. And puppy.

She is absolutely not making squeaking noises. She's just looking.

The puppy is Najla, and she's only about six weeks old. She gets very excited about meeting new people.
So when she notices someone looking, it results in a scramble, and
happy puppy noises while she's trying to get out of the booth.

...oh, she's adorable, and Nancy's mothering streak tends to stretch to all baby things.

She approaches, smiling tentatively at Sooraya. "Hello."

"Hello," Sooraya replies warmly. She puts down her pen. "I'm Sooraya Qadir, this is Najla. Who doesn't bite. She just likes making friends."
