She watched the toddler over the rim of her mug, making sure she wasn't about to hurt herself or in some way bother the man who had come here for some peace.

Sip. Huh. Not bad at all. Sip.

"16 months." The kid was currently entertaining herself with running from the couch to the stool and back, lost in her own world and giggling away. Not a TEAR DROP IN SIGHT. At this rate, Lex wouldn't have to teach her the art of crying to get what she wanted. Emmerson already had it down pat. "Decided she wasn't feeling the daycare today and made sure everyone knew it."

Another glance was spared at him. He looked familiar. "Level 5, yeah?"

He couldn't help but smile as the young lady had mentioned that it was a good place. "It seems to be. The coffee is good and it isn't very crowded." Though the new company was welcomed. He watched the little girl thinking of his own child at that age. How he had wanted more than just one, but that was then and this was a new chapter in his life. A chapter that seemed like that little one running around was so far away. His thoughts grew a bit sadder thinking about it, but turned to the woman and shook his head, "No, I'm sorry I don't. He did an excellent job whoever it was." He was enjoying it, but could make more if they were running low.

"That is an exhausting, but fun age. I remember feeling like I needed about five of me to keep up with my daughter, now I feel like I need twenty of someone else just to know what is going on in her life." Teenagers they never wanted their parents involved and since he and his daughter didn't see eye to eye with some things it felt the divide was even greater. "She wanted her momma's attention." It was sweet, but he knew how tiring it was.

"Oh yes, how rude of me. Erec Delacroix, Department Head on level 5."
