Allan smiled to reassure the good doctor. "I'm sure. I won't get in trouble. It's my time, as long as I get my job done no one cares what else we do." Allan didn't mention that he was friendly with the Ascendancy and he'd make the request official and he'd not have to worry about it -- nor would she. No point however in showing off or dropping names.
"I know this great little Greek place around the corner. The spanakopita is the best I've had." Allan couldn't say he was the best food critic, he'd eat just about anything, but he liked the place well enough and it was quiet this time of the day -- post lunch pre dinner was always the best time.
Allan lead her around the corner chatting about nothing of importance but insuring the woman was well engaged and energetically talking. Her work seemed to be a big thing, he asked questions and prompted small talk on the subject until they were seated and ordered their drinks. "Now that we aren't walking through town, can you tell me more of your project you need help with?"
