"She's fine, she's alive and fine," smiles Alysse, as they eat the take out that Lana'd had delivered from Atmosphere. Shaun is eating with her fingers, which makes Jaxon laugh. He is mimicking her, while chewing on a raspberry filled pastry that squirts red goo all over his chin.
"Where is she?" asks Lana through a mouthful of food. They are talking about Rosita, who'd called Alysse earlier. "...and is she coming back soon?"
"She doesn't know, but she says that banking is boring," laughs Alysse, knowing in the back of her mind that Rosita isn't playing banking lawyer at all. Her job is something much more dangerous, but Alysse has to respect who she is. It had taken Rosita's leaving, for Alysse to realize how much she cared for her, and how much Alysse respected the woman.
"I heard that Harley got a new acting job," states Helen. "Yet, she's told me nothing about it. I had to learn of it in the trades."
"Hiding it she is," nods Nina severely.
"That is sooo yoda," laughs Bev, then Nina gives her a cool look. "It is, come on; admit that you sounded like that little green puppet."
"Yoda is a puppet?" asks Jaxon, his eyebrows knitting together.
"No, he isn't," states Jarrod, rolling his eyes.
"In the first movies he is, way before that digital shit we have now," says Shaun. "You two should pick up the dishes when we're done, okay?"
"Why?" asks Jarrod in a bratty tone. Spencer emits a soft growl from her place besides Bev. He looks up at her, "Okay, fine, we'll clear the table."
"Told you, she's got a knack for them," says Nina. "Spencer, you've been quiet."
"I usually am," says Spencer. "All right, troops, clean the table, let the women finish their banter, and then I can get you out of my hair."
