Lex found it a bit weird how Lunet located her phone, but didn't say anything.

He just shrugged it off.

He then nodded when she said what she did.

"All right then, cool." he told her.

Sure enough, about 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door as Lex was walking by, and he sighed.

"I'm here! I'll get it!" he called to Aimee and Lunet, before heading to the door, and opening it.

...and freezing in place when he saw who was there.

Lex laughed again.

"Of course." he replied.

"I'll grab some right now." he told them.

Time had passed, faster than they had expected, and it was time for Lunet to be heading out really soon.

"Glad you enjoyed the desserts." Lex told her.

"But it seems like today's session has ended." he commented.

"You said you were going to get your mother to come get you?" he then inquired, just confirming what she'd said earlier.

Lex was silent for a moment.

"...really?" he inquired.

"That... that would be amazing." he said.

"I would be very appreciative of that." he told her.

"Also, I agree with everything my sister said about the changes and stuff." he then went on.

"I mean, as I said, I'm clueless on all this, but I trust my sister's sense of aesthetics." he reasoned.

"Anyway, who was dessert?' he then offered with a bit of a laugh.

Lex accepted the tablet, and scanned the site layout.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"Very nice." he said.

"Seems pretty good to me." he commented.

"What about you, Aimee?" he then queried his sister.

"What do YOU think?" he inquired further, showing her the site.

"Think that could work for me?"

"Huh. I see." Lex replied.

"That's neat." he said.

"Anyway, when we're done eating, you can... well, I guess we'll chat and you can get some ideas?" he suggested.

"I... have no idea how this sort of thing goes." he admitted.

"I'm clueless as to what you need from me, if you get free reign, or what..." he mumbled.

"Yeah, sorry..." he then apologised.

Lex raised an eyebrow.

"Europe and San Diego?" he inquired.

"Interesting." he said.

"And yeah, that IS long distance." he then agreed.

"At least they're still together." he went on.

"What do they do?" he then inquired further.

"If you don't mind the question."

"Ah, yes." Lex responded.

'...wonder what THAT was about...?' he thought.

'Oh well.' he then mentally shrugged.

"Right, I... need a coder." he told her.

He then proceeded to explain his profession. What he did, how business was dwindling, and how Aimee had told him that it was time for him to join the rest of the world in the technology age.

"So... it seems I am in need of a website, and a companion app." he summarised.

"That something you might be able to do for me?" he inquired.

Aly was silent, before she chuckled softly.

"Oh?" Ryker asked.

"Bus or taxi? Why not the car?" he asked.

"I can drive you there."[ he said further.

"Or you wanna do this alone?"

"Ahhh, all right then, cool." Lex responded.

With that, they started to eat, and after a few bites, Lex smiled a little.

"So." he said.

"How is it?" he inquired.

"Does it live up to the hype I've brought forth?" he inquired further.

"Or did I oversell it?"

"......" Lex was silent for a moment, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah... yes..." he said.

"This is my sister, Aimee." he introduced Aimee.

"Aimee, this is Lunet." he said further.

"Before we eat, I DO have a question." he then told her.

"How long are you here for? As in, here, at our place, today?" he inquired.

"Is your mother coming to pick you up, or what's the deal?" he inquired further.

Lex grabbed his, before nodding.

"Yeah, pretty sure she does." he said.

"She's friends with Leo, and he contacts her through dreams, I've heard." he went on.

"So if she's aware of the Order, then she should be aware of mana overall." he reasoned.

"...at least, pretty sure about that." he muttered.

"...now I'm not sure..." he admitted.

"But Leo would have warned us if she wasn't, right?" he then inquired at the end.

"No clue." Lex admitted.

[b}"All I'm aware of, is that she can call her Mom whenever to pick her up."[/b] he said.

"If I were to wager a guess, she can be here until daylight fades." he went on.

"Beyond that, dunno." he shrugged.

"We'll have to get that info from her when we chat."

"She seems nice." Lex replied.

"She's respectful, she's nice, she's well-spoken, she's excitable." he went on, laughing some.

"Seems the sort that we'd get along with well." he continued.

"And she's super excited to be here in Europe." he then added.

"Seems this is the first time she's been out of the USA." he went on.

"I believe this will be good, overall, for all of us."

"Considering this is an informal dinner of sorts, the den." Lex replied.

"Just get comfy in one of the chairs or couches." he told her.

"We'll chat and eat at the same time. Sort of a business lunch, but it's dinner." he laughed.

"I'm going to help my sister." he then said.

"Just head left, and sit wherever you fancy."
