Cafe Russe, near Robinson Park, New Gotham | Wednesday afternoon

[trigons_child]

Come noon on Wednesday, Raven arrived at Cafe Russe as she'd agreed upon with Pamela. She ordered herself a chai latte and stood outside by the door to wait. She watched several people gathering along one edge of the park. They all seemed to be in very good moods, whatever they were planning to do.

Pamela arrived only a few minutes later, looking pleased, striding confidently for the cafe. "Raven!" she called. "Gorgeous day, isn't it?"

"It is indeed lovely today," Raven said, smiling back at Pamela. "And you are looking well. I can feel how pleased you are."

"Work. Good work. I get so frustrated when I'm .. under observation," Pamela said obliquely. "Because there are no resources then for me to even keep a garden. My therapist was kind enough to allow me some cuttings and a flower box. I think that's what kept me sane." She smiled and opened the door to the cafe. "And good friends. How is your friend Dinah doing, by the way?"

"She is doing well," Raven said. Well, now that she'd healed her, but details.

"I cannot wait to see what you have to show me," she said. "I am so glad you have been successful with your work."
