[Gaius]

Admittedly, this isn't what she had expected, but some work hours are worth this. She has her feet propped up on a chair and has been watching Gaius tend to her tables for the last few hours. She hasn't determined yet what she wants to spend the rest of the day doing, but after everything -- and everything he's found out about her -- she likes this small little sliver of normalcy.

It's almost like she's back with Charley. Almost.

"You missed a table," she helpfully points out, popping slices of mango past her lips as she gestures to a table that has yet to be bussed.

Sarah bows her gaze to the table and allows the smallest of smiles to come to her face. It's mostly rueful, but it's there. "You know," she says as she looks up. "Most people in your position would have just run away. Quickly. I mean, I know I bought you in this community auction, but you're still here. It's impressive. It speaks to your character."

"What position is that?" Gaius asked, finally taking a seat in the offered chair. "Whether I'd been bought or not, Ms. Baum, I don't see myself running any time soon. Which has nothing to do with my character. I'm a shameful coward, just ask anyone."
