[ On Saturday morning, Riley's bright-eyed and bouncy. It's been too long since she's seen Eridanus, and now she gets to introduce him to her best friend. The person who's been there for her for so long. She...thinks she's talked about Cairo before, at least—that time her feet melted and she was on painkillers is foggy but she said something then, didn't she—and besides now, even better, she can make her own first impression!

And the café we're meeting my dad at's really nice, and I can bring Maple!
[ At which point Riley becomes aware that she...did not inform Cairo of this development. Egg on her face. Oops.
They walk most of the way. Riley wants to...point places out as they do. At the moment, she's telling Cairo about the venue. ]
...And the breakfasts are pretty good, too. I've never really been there for dinner before, but it's open? Maple usually gets too exhausted after a few hours, so I'm never really...you know, there that late.
