Log;

Nicholas waited for her at the outdoor deck of Café Juliet. It had only occurred to him now he had never actually seen the reporter in person, not even during his daily rounds about the City. He had an idea whom to expect, just as he assumed she had already pegged him for the only blonde man at the establishment dressed in a completely pressed dark blue business suit with off-white shirt and a black and silver pin striped tie. A first time for everything he supposed, a perfect opportunity to talk and convert another to the taste of tea. His palate preferred it over coffee, especially the corporate home grown sort.

Brocklehurst's blue gaze kept an eye out just over the rim of his cup on the approaching individuals.

"Mm, keep it in mind."

At the mention of ballots, she laughed out loud, a short, barking short of noise belied by her delicate, quite female, appearance. She wasn't fond of politics.

"Election year?"

"Heh." Lupe snorted rather unladylike, took a long drink and shook her head, sending her hair whipping about her face as she waved her hand dismissively.

"Politics." Another laugh. "It's always about getting into bed with someone."

"May, for me." Lupe nodded. "The hottest one L.A.'s seen in a long time, phew." She waved her hand in a parody of fanning herself.

"Tensions running high, gang violence, new stories, you know the drill."

"Ah, well." Lupe shrugged again, finishing off her tea with a dramatic flourish.

"Good news is, there is a coffee substitute out there, ah?"

Lupe giggled a bit, hiding it behind her hand as she stood and brushed off her knees, shaking her head a bit in a chuckle.

"And you've motivated me to go get my ass back in my apartment." She added. "Congratulations to you."

"Lupe, please." She nodded as well, giving the man one last smile before she redonned her dark glasses and disappeared back into the crowds of the City.

She had a story to do.
