<div style="text-align: justify;">Patricia did notice that her voice had startled Jackson. She chose not to comment on it, though. They had only just met, it wasn't really something nice to ask him what was wrong. Maybe, if they became friends in the future, he would open up to her. For now, though, Patty decided to focus on neutral interaction.<br/><br/>When he stood up and stepped to the side, the girl adjusted her pace to his and nodded in response to his question. "Oh, yeah. It wasn't the ideal solution, but it was what I could get", she replied. "Ended up getting an elective on storytelling for preschoolers, but it sounds like a fun class". After this explanation, she turned the question around, since she had been in the office when he left the other one. "Did you manage to get everything in order too?", she asked, really interested in knowing how things had gone for him.<br/><br/>As they got to the Cafe, Patricia inhaled the soft scent coffee shops often had. It always made her feel comforted in a funny way. Sitting across from Jackson, Patty showed him a smile. It was clear it was in her nature to smile often.<br/><br/>"So, what are you having? I'm thinking an espresso and something to eat, like a muffin", she both asked and answered at once, trying to make some pleasant conversation and help him relax.</div>
