As it turns out, Rosella has only beaten Neil by a minute or so; she's still lingering outside the doors of the cafe when he arrives, in the midst of debating whether or not to go order something inside to tide her over while she waits. His arrival, therefore, answers that question immediately, and she raises her hand in a slight wave when she notices him walking up.

Anyone even the slightest bit familiar with Rosella under normal circumstances would be able to tell that she's still out of sorts; her smile still doesn't quite meet her eyes, and her face is starting to show the signs that she hasn't been sleeping well lately. But she's out, and she does brighten a little at the sight of Neil, smiling a little wider as she comes down the cafe steps to greet him.

"Hello, Neil," she says, as cheerfully as she can manage. "How are you today?"
