...oh, that does sound wrong. Sorry. :(

There's a pause before she speaks again, but there's no delay in the way her eyebrow arches up or the way her eyes briefly narrow like she's in pain. "I'm sure you can, but there's no reason to do it alone if there are people willing to help you. Most of us have been stranded here at one point or another, so we help each other out. It works pretty well."

Who needs government when you've got good helpful neighbors? Some people might prefer a place with more law and order, but Verity's not finding she misses it. She knows how to keep herself safe and to avoid the places where she can't. That's enough for her.

She's got her phone out while they wait, typing out messages and giving him as much emotional space as she can. Pretending to be absorbed by the texting is a good way to let him think she doesn't notice. "I'll ask Samus and Jim. I don't know what Jim's schedule looks like today, but Samus is probably around."

Their drinks are ready by the time she puts her phone away again, and the croissants are still warm. A perfect way to unwind, she hopes.
