As Melissa sits down, she's surprised by how well mannered Doc is, almost forgetting how they first met. She chuckles as she takes a seat and for a minute is a bit speechless. She waves goodbye to Alicia, almost sad to see her go so quick but she smiles back over to Doc as he asks about the drink. Her voice friendly and soft, her Cambridge accent, although more faint than before, is still prominent.
"Depends what we're drinking, Doc. Coffee, tea, water or something a bit more mature? Either way, could murder one. As far as not being Administrator, Velvet has grown to be a beast in it's own right. I've recently made a few mistakes and overstepped some boundaries, but it's been a learning curve. Just hope I've learnt a bit more long term."
She chuckles and looks down, as if ashamed of what she'd done.
"I hope tensions with the Maltese will ease over time, they're good people. And well... Since trying my hand at diplomacy, realise my position is still in the field, not in the office. Speaking of being in the field, what have you been up to? Feels like ages since we spoke."
