Caffeine [Eli + Victoria ]
Eli had hesitated, sure, but was new to the system. It was excusable, for now. Later on, though, she would have to really buckle down and ensure that he knew everything.

"Very good," she said, a smile softly curling her lips upward. "Your memorization is strong, I’ll give you that. What you’ll have to remember is that some actions have different sub-orders, depending on the event warranting it. I have some notecards here…" Victoria handed him the blank set she had brought along. "If you could get started writing the sub-orders for Protocols 1-20 on these, I’ll go and order a drink."
With that she stood and walked to the counter, weaving between the tables and leaving Eli, temporarily, to his work.
Eli sipped his coffee and lifted his pen to start making notes on the cards, lifting them directly from the pages of his manual. He glanced up every once in a while from his work to watch Victoria order her coffee. Ravan at the counter put on his usual charm and Eli despairs just a little bit. Stupid Scarecrow with his stupid handsome looks. He consoles himself with his coffee and his writing until Victoria returns, feeling decidedly less secure about himself. He sets his pen down when she sits back down and picks up a card to start reading it over and committing it to memory. "There's just so much to worry about, I don't know if I'll be able to keep it all straight..."
