She settled down with a huge cup, sealed carafe and a plate full of artisanal mini-dogs and three oatmeal raisin cookies. She held out another of them for the dog, speaking with authority this time.<br/><br/>"Smaoinich air mo chorragan gòrach agus feuch an cagnadh am fear seo!"<sup>1</sup>Cleod gave her a rueful look and carefully retreated back under the table and into the shadows of the booth, the sound of him actually chewing for a change, which brought a smile to her face as she picked up her drink and took a long sip.<br/><br/>"This is amazing stuff. First came to England in the 1600s, introduced by a turk at Oxford"  She purred as she sipped the dark brew with nothing added, clearly enjoying it as she drank. The blush slowly receded as she relaxed, coming down from the adrenaline rune she had in the alley. She looked at Ben with her brilliant eyes sparkling with curiosity.<br/><br/>"So, aside from the copious forms of paperwork you have me fill out in the alley is all to be done."  She nibbled on one of the cookies as she looked under the table to check up on her dog, who gave a subdued 'woof' at her check followed by a whine that he was starving. "Mah silly wee bairn, if you fed him according to his level he'd be rolling down the street."  She said affectionately.<br/><br/>"So why did that goon break his foot kicking you?”" She asked again, looking up at Ben over her coffee<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><sup>1</sup>"Mind my fingers silly boy and try actually chewing this one!"
