“Oh! Simon!” Athena waved as she noticed the prosecutor enter the small cafe. She stood, meeting him halfway between the door and the table she had chosen, a small one by the window. “Hi! How are you?” she asked, as she walked with him back to the table. Widget had turned a bright green the second she had noticed Simon, and a smile shone on her face.
“I haven’t ordered yet, but I’ve been looking at the menu and they have chocolate croissants here!” Athena babbled, glancing over at the menu. She looked back up at Simon, her expression shifting in the barest movement of her lips and eyebrows. Widget however, turned to a sky blue, moving from happiness to sorrow.
Athena bit her lip and bit back the urge to ask ‘Are you okay?’ and instead repeated her earlier question. “How are you?” She stopped her rambling, wanting to actually give Simon a chance to answer her this time.
