With a contented sigh, Valerion set down his empty coffee cup - it made a gentle clinking sound as it touched the saucer. He lifted his head; at the opposite end of the table, Adrien was done with his bread and jam, and was now absent-mindedly balancing a fork on his index finger.

"I'm done. Do you want anything else?", Valerion asked.

Adrien put the fork down. "Ah -- I'm fine -- thank you".

"Alright. Then I will clear the table, and we can begin. Yes?".

"Yes -- thank you", Adrien replied with an emphatic nod.
