Depends on the part of the world I'm in, doesn't it? Maybe it's late. What time is it where you are? Or did you mean it's too early for you?
[If he's where she thinks he is, then it's the same time as her, and that was what she wanted. Wanted to meet up. This was her vacation after all. She was in the location she wanted to be, and she thought that maybe, just maybe he was here.]
[And if he was, maybe she can convince him to meet with her.]
[ He's about to get up and grab his coffee and spike it with whiskey and maybe wander the streets again. You know, the usual. He's a very busy man with a very full schedule. ]
[ Booker can't help the edges of worry that lace his texts even when they seem harmless enough. Just simple curiousity, right?
Andy had given them all a (mandatory) break back in 2019, before they ever knew Nile existed, said they all needed the time off and of course Booker had known it was more than that at the time because it was more than that for him as well. While he has no right to ask for more detail, and it could really just be that — a vacation — it still weighs on him. What had happened. What he did. What led to this.
[Not everything is YOUR fault, Booker. No, this was more something that Nile needed for herself. When you get swept away form your life to a new one, and your brain is so full of unknowns, questions and maybes. Family troubles and sleepless nights. Not to mention dreaming of the one she hadn't met yet? It all started to pile up on her.]
[She still wasn't trusting her choice with her family, and she nearly broke on one job. Joe and Nicky wanted to go back to Malta anyhow. So why not a short vacation? This was all on Nile's shoulders, and she was trying her best to NOT think of why she was here. After all her first few days were spent drunk and angry. She's trying her best not to be any of that.]
One short month. I need to get some things out of my system is all.
8 billion years later i have returned i'm so sorry
What destinations have you chosen in this short vacation?
[ It's a daring question because it could tempt him to make very coincidental trips to, at the very least, catch a glimpse of the newest member in their Guard family ... but he'd like to think he has a little better self-control than that. Maybe. ]
[She sips coffee and watches the world around her for now. This is time better spent. She had been far too annoyed with herself the last few days, and drink wasn't helping that. Being here though, being somewhere she had always wanted to go, that helped distract her mind.]
[Talking to Booker helped as well.]
Right now? The Louvre. There are a great and many paintings I want to visit.
Which should bluntly tell you I am in France. Which I am PRETTY sure is close to your hidden location, no? Which is to say, you should come find me at the Louvre.

So is it late for you, then?

I'm on a vacation period right now. Getting some travel in.
[She had a smug smile on her face, sipping coffee. Better fit her into that busy schedule, Booker. She's going to twist your arm.]

No point in bumming Nile out, though. ]
