Back at the dining table, Mocke made sure to keep the last of the coffee away from the old captain. In the meantime, Mocke took that chance to down some more joe for himself now that the discussion was on pause.
"Ummm, would you like sssome more coffee?"
Captain Banders slapped the table and shot his other hand straight up. "I'll take it!"
"Then make it to go."
Both guests looked toward the hallway entrance; startled to see Ayse comfortably leaning against the wall.
"Boss Bro! You're back!" Loo's tail wagged a bit as he got to his feet. "A-are you sure? I thought there was more stuff to talk about."
Mocke nodded in turn as he set his mug down.
"I thought the same. Unless you claim to have already solved the matter…"
Both shrugging and smiling, Ayse tipped his hat to their guests. "I'm not the one who made the payment. Hell, I wish I could afford something like a Wonder World sponsorship."
