You’re more anxious than you ought to be about seeing Meulin again. She’d seemed... not upset with you when you chatted with her a few nights ago, but you can’t just fucking vanish for almost a sweep and come back and everything will be fine as much as you like to pretend that’s the case.
You still aren’t comfortable giving your current living arrangement’s coordinates out to just anybody. You’ve offered them to Sollux because he’s probably gonna need somewhere to stay since shit’s hitting the whirling device pretty majorly for him lately, but Meulin? No you’re not ready for her or most of the people from your TL to know where you live.
A coffeehouse is a nice neutral ground, besides you could do with some of the darkest coffee you can get your hands on right now. You sigh and just stare at your palmhusk for a few moments first. You took a sweep away from everyone for a reason and that reason is that you can’t keep putting up a front, and yet you know that’s exactly what you’re going to do as soon as you see her. You’re just going to pretend nothing’s wrong and tell her what she wants to hear.
For a moment you consider calling it off, saying “oh yeah no shit I have a previous engagement sorry” and then dipping. Instead you send her the coordinates for the most hipster coffee shop you’ve found while you’ve been moving around for the past sweep. It’s hipster as hell, but god they have the goddamn best coffee.

You make your way towards your transportalizer, pulling on a coat and inputting the coordinates yourself before vanishing off to the tiniest fucking hole-in-the-wall coffee shop where the barista basically speaks in nothing but coffee and tea related puns.
God you fucking love this coffee shop.
