It was the first time Torri crawled out of the Facility in weeks. Their quarters were fine enough, complete with comfortable bunks and decent pillows, but she welcomed a return to her own bed. Being alone in an empty apartment was wonderful, but after a few hours sleep, a shower, and being able to walk around in a bath towel without feeling immodest, she actually wanted a chance to interact with civilian civilization. Or at least see them up close.
Thus, a quick restaurant search turned up this random place within decent distance. Upon entering, she temporarily reconsidered the choice based on smell and decor alone, but she wasn't so snobby as to have to find a replacement, so she shook out her coat and found an empty table.
Coat draped on the back of her chair, she was otherwise dressed in civilian clothing: a cashmere sweater, jeans and boots. Her hair was down but tucked behind her ears,and otherwise mussed from wearing the stocking cap now stuffed away in a coat pocket.
"Tea, please,"
she requested upon a waitress probing for a drink request. It was likely to be atrocious, but she was otherwise chilled to the bone. She could always hold the cup for warmth. Meanwhile, she browsed the menu.
