Jelena laid her cheek on her desk as opposed to her forehead at the knock, looking toward the door. With a sigh she straightened up, pulling a hand through her hair to straighten it before pulling up some files on her computer and flipping open a folder to start transcribing data. Good to look busy. "Come in."

Lillia had rolled her eyes, what was it with men and mussing her hair? That caused her to pull out her headband and fix her hair then put it back in, wasted time and just all around was irritating. THough she never showed it, she was never unhappy really. There was no point to it.
She wandered around the labs talking to some of the Echoes before finally leaving the labs, making sure to lock up as she did so. Freedom...to do what? Whatever she wanted. The urge to see Raedon overtook her and she skipped off into the Echo enclosures.

James came in, and looked at her. a slightly reaised eyebrow, she seemed..a bit off. down in the dumps some. well nothing like a good meal to fix that, too.
"I wanted to see what you were up to..thought you might want to get somethign to eat, maybe I'd do some more cooking for you since you like it. is everything okay? you seem a little down."

Fingers simply kept thier blazing across the keyboard, as eyes were focused on the information in the file folder, a slight side glance at James before her eyes returned to the information. "Oh just some work, you know me. A general workaholic...and that whole down for a week thing and Board meeting set me back...I need to catch up on my work."
Casual as ever. Still good at masking, eh Jelena. Though James seemed easy to see through that. Only him, Erik and Lilia seemed to be able to do that. "Everything is fine James, I'm just in work mode is all. But food sounds good, just let me finish this up real quick."
More typing, with idle conversation. "What's the food plan?"

A slight grin.
"Um, Jellybean..you do know that the work your doing is the same you flurried over before your board meeting, right?"
A tap on the file folder.
"This is two weeks old, according to the date."
But nevermind that.
"I was thinking, if you wanted we could go to a Raidiance place, or I coudl cook something up for you, your choice on that menu."

A blink and a look at the folder, tilting her head at it. Then a look to James. "Just because it's two weeks old doesn't mean it's done. I do several of these things at once and never finish one before starting the other. Besides, I'm updating some things too." All said with the lovely sound of key strokes.
But she couldn't play that game too long before she stopped and closed the folder, quitting programs and what not before pushign away from her desk. "You know I haven't eaten on Radiance in a while, and I don't like to make you cook all the time. Any recommendations? I think I have a craving for italian."
SHe had a few hours to kill before Camp made it up anyway.

"new system, dear. I made sure Erik and your whole team got everythin put in. and I mean everything, up to date that was possible for them to do. as for Italian. there's a nice one of those, a macaroni grill. very good italian, huge servings, and they have a singer that sings in opera for tips and occasions. even has a violin player that walks with her. I think she waitresses on nights when no one seems interested. since there are nights I havne't seen her, and I know she probably couldn't handle living on such small amounts of tips."
A slight grin.
"And I don't mind cooking. hell I learned the skill a long time ago, finally getting to use it more."

Hm...damn that new system for once. "Um...yes...well...I'm still acclimating into the new system and what not..." Wow, blew her little story now didn't it? Why did he have to be all right and stuff all the time. Though she offered him a smile. "Sounds fancy, with a dash of charm." Wait, would she have to change clothes for that?
Though a chuckle about his cooking. "I know what you mean, I barely cook myself anymore...there's just not a lot of time to do those kinds of things." A few things piled on her desk got moved from a point A to a point B before she walked over to him. "Shall we then?"

He grinned and took her and slipped her arm through his, walking on her right so she was able to hold on to his flesh arm, and lead her to radiance, to teh macaroni grill. elegant looking, but open and inviting to the casual. they got a table, and he gave a grin at her noting the table cloth was layerd in paper on top, with crayons.
"Something to entertain yourself with. games of tic-tac-toe and the like. and makes it easier to remember a waiter or waitress' name, as they write it down on the paper for you."
and then there was the pleasent singing voice of the opera singer, in of course italian, and her violinist.

It was like casual Friday classy. Which was good in her book...sometimes she thought resturants and what not to be way too stuffy and stuffy places made her cranky. Idly she pushed her OODDS up to rest in her hair and hold it back some. Just wasn't polite to eat with those things down, or hold conversation really.
Though an amused look at the crayons and paper layed table. There were no children on board Fleet which made it a bit more charming. Talk about releasing one's inner child. Picking up a blue crayon, she scrawled her own name neatly. "I can feel my inner child squealing with joy."
A chuckle, it was a pleasant thing really. And the ambiance was great. "So what do you recommend?"

"Well the spagehtti is great, but personally I'd recommend the lobster alfredo. it's wonderful. actually, there's a steak and alfredo combo there that's nice. and there's the cheese sticks and the breadrolls..melt in your mouth."
of course the waitress came over, with a friendly smiel to james, and a verifiable inner squeal at Jelena. after all, project heads were like upper social class here. they were the bosses. she wrote her name in a flowing script, Rachel, and asked for drink orders. once those were taken, she let them have some more time to look over the menu and to get thier drinks.
"So. you going to tell me what's really going on? or am I going to have to guess?"

She chuckled. "Decisions, decisions, decisions." Jelena spent a few moments mulling over her menu some before deciding to go with James' first choise. She liked lobster, she liked alfredo, why not throw them together and have fun with it right?
A thank you uttered though as drinks were brought over before her attention slipped back to James. Just to stall she took her glass, sipping from it. It was some sort of wine...good thing about no money on Fleet, you could have all the finer things in life if you wanted.
"What do you mean what's really going on? A lot of things go on here James, you know what." Then a quick transefer of subject to hopefully divert if he was talking about what she thought he was. "How was your little session with Micah?"

Orders taken, drinks brought, and James gave a slight smile. he knew what she was doing. So he'd play along for a bit.
"Smooth as silk. no problems, no questions. everything perfectly in order. but I asked first. I know that something has you down. I can see it in the way you move, the sound of your voice. I made a living as a communications expert in SF, remember? that includes interrogations as well as hacking into secured computer systems."
A drink from his own glass, watching her.
"If you'd rather not tell me, I understand. I just making sure that it's not something that's serious. I mean I don't want you getting harassed or anything, and if you are, I'd like to help put an end to it. I'm sure the fact that you went to board, and aren't shut down riled a few feathers of people in the loop."

Jelena drummed her fingers for a moment on the table top. Well...the more she hid things from him the more he would want to know. Another drink from her glass to stall for another few more seconds. "No...no. I haven't been messed with about Board at all. I think everyone is just more relieved to have all that chaos over with...at least for the time being."
Well...she could be vague, right?. "I just have a meeting with an associate of mine. He'll be docking in a few hours, may not get in till tomorrow. Spaceport was running behind and crowded as usual." She gave a casual nonchalant shrug about it. But damn him being able to read her so easily. "Depends on your definition of serious I guess."
Were under the table proceedings and hush hush thing serious?

"well, if it's important, you know we can have him placed at teh top of the list for boarding. get him here as quickly as possible. and since this is a meeting, what's it about, if you don't mind me asking? the Echoes? the new equipment? of course, the get him in quicker, I'd have to at least know his name."
Food arrived, hot and delicious. hey James cooked damn good food, and expected damn good food when he went out to eat.
