Markus was looking at his maps app. As he searched, he saw a few good coffee shops, a burger place, and a few other restaurants. He wasn't very picky and was about to take off towards the best review when he heard a voice. It sounded almost familiar, and when he looked up to see a familiar grinning face, he quickly put up his phone and stepped towards her, giving her a warm hug as she opened her arm.
He was certainly surprised, and he didn't hide that fact on his face. He had seen quite some time ago, in another lifetime it felt, when he was out deploying a military asset. Their paths had crossed a couple of times, for various lengths, as their work took them places, but finding her stateside at the Exchange of all places was not something he had expected. He knew if she was here, she probably knew about the world he had stumbled into, which was surprising but far from the biggest discovery he had made recently, especially given that it was Trevelyan, a mutual acquaintance, that had introduced him to it.
“Always,” he said with a chuckle before answering her question, “Gotta kick the hornet's nest from time to time. I was just now looking for a bite to eat. What about you, Angela?” Markus asked, as he noticed the sling one of his eyebrows would raise in an unasked question, concern on his face.
