Munkus settled in the seat across from her, seeking a topic of conversation. "How have you been?" That probably wasn't a wise one since it was usually a reciprocal question...

"Oh, fairly well," she answered. "I've been working for most of the week, and just things like that. How have you been? You look pretty tired still." She winced slightly when that came out. She certainly had not meant to say "still" but he had looked so tired last time, and now only somewhat worse.

"Busy. Work's been...a bit hectic of late. And tired is probably a good summation. Sleep and I seem to have parted ways for awhile again." He replied a smile tugging at the corners of his lips again.

She answered his smile with a soft one of her own. "I can't say I've ever been as bad, but I certainly know the feeling of only being an acquaintance with sleep."

"Well, it could be worse so I suppose I'll take what I can get."

Electra nodded, and turned when a waitress approached. "So, you wanted coffee, right? Or anything else you'd prefer of course."

"Of course," she told him, turning back to the waitress and giving the order for two coffees. "Thanks honey," she said as the other queen left, turning her attention back to Munkustrap.

Munkustrap fiddled with one of the buttons of his suitcoat. "Am I the only one who finds this a bit strange?"

Electra tilted her head and smiled at him. "Probably. You don't get out much do you?" She paused. "Are you alright with this? I'm sorry if I pressured you into anything..."

"No, I'm fine with it, I just...I don't know anything about you." And I feel a litt;e bit like I'm accepting hand outs. The tabby's ears flickered a bit.

"Well, how do you think people get to know each other?" she asked, leaning against a propped up elbow. "Anything you want to know in particular?"

"Felidae, actually. I grew up here. My mom and I lived with my father's parents for quite a while," she said, not mentioning her brother. It felt wrong somehow to speak of the dead, no matter how badly she had hated him.

He nodded slightly. "What do you think of Felidae?"
