Her humour seemed to infect Drayson. His stoic features broke apart as they shared the moment of absurdity. Torri's amusement faded to wry grinning as she rubbed her forehead and sighed.
She drew her finger across the counter again. This time a menu screen appeared. "Alright, well, I probably know no more about the local take-out scene than you, but this place was fine last time I ordered."
After a few more entries, the program recognized her location and previous order - stamped only a few days ago. Apparently stamped as the day after she returned from DV. She didn't explain, but she'd holed herself up in her apartment for a good twenty-four hours after coming home. Technically, after she went to the Facility and then came home.
She left Drayson to browse the menu. It was typical Chinese food fare of the sort to be expected in late-night delivery options. Her previous order was a hearty noodle dish made with slivers of beef and vegetables.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to change clothes."
There was still a sleight smile on her face as she crossed to the bedroom door, but she paused and turned back to him before disappearing behind it. "I'd offer one of my shirts, but something tells me they'd not fit. Unless you like bare midriffs?"
She was teasing of course. Drayson was easily twice the size in the torso she was despite her current fitness level.
"I'll be right back. Press submit when your selection is ready. Payment will go through automatically."
She waited a moment longer and slipped into the confines of a quaint bedroom.
