Corvin Estate, New Thessalonica, Planet Yuma, Coronado
evening of 5 Aug. 824 A.S.
Miss Valders' last comment was most likely due to her consumption of alcohol, but she wasn't wrong. Most people in the Crayter Republic knew of the Corvin family's history, since they were one of the influential groups of people in the Republic, with one of them being a former President. Their long list of losses in family members - especially since the Gallic invasion - was also known and could be found in public records. Samantha took her purse and got ready to leave as well. As Erik was returning from the alleyway - after he had said his goodbyes to Richard and Clark - Valders gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek and she went on her way. Erik was still chuckling silently while walking back to the table.
"Hehe, too bad I'll be working tomorrow. I'll sure have to cope with a headache." he added while taking a seat across from Doreen, in a quite ungraceful manner due to him being tipsy. Another reason Erik usually had a hard time was actually his own decisions. While probably noble in concept, he avoided taking long breaks from work, even in the weekends. He had heard her earlier comment regarding the drones, so he went on "I usually clean things up myself, with Peter's help, but some days there's just too much to do and too little time."
While he and Doreen were talking, the boys were looking out the window and noticed some people had left. With a faded frown, Peter asked "You're leaving soon i guess... Can we see each-otheL tomorrow?"
