[Would you believe that she spent like an hour composing this text? Because she did.]

Barbara, it's Max. The Initiative sent me on a mission to 1969, and I picked up a few books for myself that I realized might interest you, too, if you'd like to read them.

How do you feel about coffee?

[help her.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Oh no that's so sweet. Barbara's glad no one can see the dorky little smile she has right now.]

I'd love coffee.

Thank you.

text

[thephix]

Not at all.

[Don't thank her that's like she's done something nice.]

Is tomorrow afternoon good for you? There's a cafe at [address] who manage a half decent espresso.

[Also maybe she brought back some beans from the 60s and gave them to that cafe.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Sorry Max you are the nicest crime lord.]

Tomorrow is great. I'll meet you there?

[thephix]

Wonderful. I'll be there at three.

[Which is a yes. And then she wavers for a moment before sending the next part. She doesn't want to seem patronizing, but she also wants to be considerate.]

It should be accessible from the Housing building, but if anything comes up, let me know and we can find somewhere more suitable.

[Because she checked, but she doesn't know exactly what kind of chair Babs might be using, so it's possible she might run into difficulties, and she just wants to make sure Babs knows she's flexible.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[It's grating, but only in that it has to be an issue at all; she appreciates that Max took it into account.]

I will. [She will, if she has to. Probably. Eventually.]

[thephix]

[Somehow, she can imagine Barbara might be the sort of person who won't make that concession, but Max can only admire that.]

I look forward to seeing you.

[And she'll leave it there.]
