Mind At Work

His own began to glow and he just felt.. warmer. He stood up from his seat by the window  and walked over to him, hands out lightly to take his as he walked to him. “Perhaps.. They definitely don’t know I am.” He added lightly.

“I was told someone would bring them for me, otherwise I would have.”

“I am.” Maksym nodded. “And you’re a princess?”

“Well... yes... but it’s too early in the day. Someone would come looking for you.”

“Wh-- Do you want to get us caught? We’ve only just gotten here.”

“It’s fine if you don’t, someone’s bound to.”

“Ah--I assumed you were, I’m sorry. I was told someone would bring them up.”

“To be fair, I wasn’t quite looking.. I see that you’re not.”

“I can get quite invested in a crossword if its good enough.” He said, tapping the paper with his pen before setting it down lightly. “We all have something that makes us lose focus on the real world.”

“Oh-- I’m very sorry, then. I assumed you were someone else. I was not paying much attention to be honest.”

“I am, yes,” He said, putting his pen down and smiling at her lightly, “My name is Maksym.”

“Have I? Oh-- I am very sorry.”

“You can just leave my bags there, thanks.”
