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.

"Days after another anniversary for April 29, 1992," Nicholas remarked with a single nod.

Suffice it to say, he hadn't actually been in Los Angeles for that lovely demonstration of anarchy. He would have asked if she'd written about it, but Salvatore didn't look that old to him. Neither would he dare to ask; woman's prerogative.

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

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

"Congratulations. You're officially British," he said to her with a feigned typically English stiff upper lip. "I suggest a black blend for high tea," offered the blond in good humor.

"My treat," Nicholas added, for the drink and the pastry, her company and her information.

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."

He rose to his feet when she stood as well. A gentleman's habit, resulting from extensive grooming by MI6.

"The pleasure's all mine, Ms. Salvatore," Nicholas accepted with a smile. "If you require any help with that, ring me," he nodded to her, "have a good day."

"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.

"Lupe," he obliged before reclaiming his seat and watching her depart through the crowds.
