</div>The Pot & Kettle served as the mainstay cafeteria for most of the folks who lived in town. Even if the kitchen couldn't be run as it had back before doomsday, it still had tables and booths and the capability for simpler cooking making it a great place for people who weren't cooking at their homes to meet. A lot of the daily nuts and bolts work of Dryden started there and it was where visitors and trading partners could get a bite and take a load off.<br/><br/>Bec sat in one of the booths, head down, long fingers buried in a tangle of long blond hair looking over a notebook in front of her. On one side of the table was her hat, and the other had a pot of coffee and a cup. On the other side were two more cups, now abandoned by company that was no longer there.<br/><br/>So much had come down on the settlement in the last twenty-four hours that she'd had to write things down and connect them with arrows and margin notes to make sense of a broader picture. After a moment, she sighed and rubbed her hand down her face then blew the flop of hair that had come with it out of the way with a sudden puff of breath. Lamenting that she'd ignored her better instincts to just stay in bed, she looked around and caught sight of Jeb. He looked about as charged as she felt.<br/><br/>She let out a quick whistle to catch his attention and gave him a wave over. "Grab a cup..." she gestured to the counter where cups were kept for people to grab as they pleased. "...Kinda surprised to see ya still here..." she commented while pushing the empty cups aside to make space for him across from her. "Carla took off earlier. After hearing about Loretta she's off to see MIles."
