[ She looks different. But it's not the circuits that really draw his attention. Sure, he doesn't remember her that way but it's more the way she's holding herself. Her expression.
He can't help but smile, even if it's cautious. ]
I was thinking of following your lead on that one. Wasn't sure if you'd want to meet or not.
[She hesitates for a moment, not having expected the choice, but she nods. Better to meet under somewhat planned circumstances than run into each other by chance. Plus, it's been lonely, being the only one from her world. Some members of Aegis have some idea from talking to her and Jacob and that unfortunate screening of Blasto but it's not the same.]
As long as you know that for me, it's a first meeting, not a reunion.
[Better to get that out of the way now too, so he's not expecting too much from her in person.]
[ And it really is something that he understands. He's not yet sure what he's hoping to get out of this, but there's a very real, guilt-ridden set of thoughts circling his mind, reminding him that she can't provide him with atonement. She shouldn't have to. It's not her burden to bear. It's his. ]

Any suggestions on location?

I had a friend here who ran a barcade in Heropa, the Nickel. It's under new management now, but the food's still good.
[She attaches the address.]

[ His comms device pings as the address drops in but he doesn't look at it yet. It's a minor detail in the plan, he figures. ]
Let me know when you've got some time and I'll be there.

Meet you there in an hour.
