"Are you here with someone?" Lancelot prompts curiously, half hoping she might say yes then go back to them.

"Oh, no! No, no I was just in the area and thought I'd stop by for some lunch. Let me see if I can pull up a chair --"

Lancelot's face falls a little as he turns away and he winces, trying to think of an excuse.

"Oh, well, we won't be long so --"

"Nonsense! You just get here!"

He fidgets with his menu uneasily as she tries to flag down a waiter and shoots Faolan a slightly helpless look.
