hasn't heard from her since that day. He wonders if she wants to still go to dinner?

been thinking about it, but she does.

coming to the meeting place then.

be there, she's never late.

approaches. "Gruezi."

frowns a bit and nods as she saw him, she really hadn't wanted to come but she'd said she would.

why she invited him then. "Ready?"

nods again as she sighed a bit. She had invited him because she wanted to at least make an attempt to get along. "Yeah."

nods and begins to walk with her. They could get along fine without going anywhere.

just needed to get out.

can understand that he guessed.

focuses on the ground as she walked.

holds open the door for her.

blinks at that and thanks him quietly as she stepped inside.

follows her in and takes a seat at the table they were lead to

sat across from him quietly as she smoothed out her dress. "I heard you met my Liechtenstein

."*

nods slowly. "He was...a nice surprise." Though seeing him made him wish even more for his own.

paused a moment as she thought about that. "He... needs somewhere to stay."

looks up. "He cannot stay with you?"

frowned at that as she looked down at the table. "I... wish that were possible, but I don't exactly have anywhere."

frowns at that himself. "I thought you got a place."

shrugs as she sat up and sipped her water. She wasn't exactly the kind person people wanted to hire. "I'm fine, I'm worried about him though

."

sighs, "You and him are more than free to the house. I will move up to the cabin." He did not want to separate them.

shakes her head at that. "No." She wouldn't let that happen, she wasn't someone that needed help.

shakes his head. "I have been thinking about going up there anyway. Too many people have been coming by my house." Mostly, her world's_

nations. He would rather avoid a naked woman running through his yard again. He couldn't handle that level of indecency.

didn't want his house. There was no way she was going to put up with the nude Italian either. She was already working something else out

with his boss anyway.

what she means?

doesn't think he should worry about it.

it's his business though. She would want to know if it were the other way around too.

just told his boss she would take on half his work.

not so sure he approves of that. He liked handling the work. It kept him busy.

they'll just have to work together now, as she is technically him.

| Right...He would just...have to manage. Was she going to be put up in a house?

work on getting along with him. She was getting a fair bit out of the deal.

just does not want her to take everything from him or he won't be happy. He could handle a fifty, fifty split.

doesn't plan on taking everything from him. She's trying to be nice to him. >>

that is okay then. "About Aloys, what do you propose we do."

paused for a moment, "I... will ask him and see what he wishes to do."

nods to that and orders something cheap when the waitress came over.

orders a drink but leaves it at that.

it would be fine if Aloys stayed with him, but he would rather keep him with Mitzi..

looks up at him for a moment. "You miss her..."

looks up at her. "Of course."

nods a bit and looks away. "I see."

sips at his water, falling into silence.

shifted her gaze back over to him, "maybe... Aloys is I can come see you. I know he likes you."

seems a bit confused. "Does he?"

nods with that. "He does."

seems pleased with this. "I am glad."

smiles a bit at that, "me too."

she's better smiling. It made him less tense around her. He offers to share part of his meal with her.

politely declines it as she sipped at her drink once it came.

nods and nibbles on his food.

watches him for a moment before realizing she was staring.

blinks at her. "What?"

looks away and shakes her head. "Nothing."

looks away too, feeling awkward.

doesn't know what to say for a moment. "Sorry."

shakes his head. "Nein, no reason to be sorry...Ah, um. How is your new place?"

looked back over at him with that. 'It's fine..."

nods to her. "What city?"

took a sip of her drink. "Berne."

nods. "Same as I then."

nods with that, where else would she have moved to?

been thinking of Zurich.

quite attached to Berne herself.

Berne, but Zurich is nice and sometimes he did like a change.

had change enough what with coming here at all.

that may be true for her.

looks away from him again as she rubbed the back of her neck.

takes a bite of his food.

sipped her drink in silence.

it's awkward now.

so too. She pulled out some money and left it on the table. "I should... go."

nods and does the same. "All right."

paused a moment. "This was... good."

nods. "We should...do it again."

nods in return. "Yes..."

smiles slightly. "Have a good day."

smiles back just a bit, "you too."
