Fixer-Uppers, Monday

[endsthegame]

Ender listened to radio every day, despite the large amount of mostly apocryphal information it provided. It wasn't in his nature to pass up on a source of information. As such, he'd managed to come to the conclusion something terrible had happened while Karla was gone

The fact that it was Ender's day at work, she thought, had terribly little to do with why Hinata found herself walking up towards the shop today.

It was a nice bonus, however.

"Good morning, Ender," she said easily, stopping a foot or two away from the steps he sat on. It was still morning, if getting rather close to noon.

Which meant lunch was due in about an hour or so, but Ender still had plenty of time. He greeted her with a friendly, if brief, smile. "Good morning, Hinata," he said, warmly. "What brings you here?"

"I could pretend it was just your company," she teased mildly. "But I am afraid I have work for you, if you do not mind."

... It was his job, Hinata. He had to do it anyway. Sigh.

"It's what I'm paid to do," Ender pointed out. He sounded a little amused. "Whether I mind or not isn't really part of the deal."

Ben walked through the door with lunch in hand. "Ho, Ender," he said, grinning.

Ender's head came up from behind his laptop as it usually did. "Ho, Ben," he said, pushing himself away from the desk. "About time."

"You missed me that much?" Ben teased, holding out the coffee. "Or just the caffeine?"

"Caffeine," Ender said, without blinking, and took the coffee. "As well as the food. The sunlight is making me more active and I'm starving."
