( she's not mad. there's not much to be mad about, not when sara looks so comfortable in her chair, drinking and eating and chatting flirtatiously with some waitress that looks vaguely familiar but not familiar enough to have a name. linda's just glad to have an excuse to slip away from the office — not that she really needs one, but it's nice to feel professional.
her greeting is casual, a breezy kiss to sara's cheek before settling in the chair next to her, reaching to steal the half drink left over in the glass and take a sip. )
Hi, ( and thank you, implied, over draining the glass. ) Miss me?

What do you think?
( asked as she waves down the aforementioned waitress who seems to keep lingering by their table for some reason or another, mouthing the word "mimosas" and putting up a pseudo-peace sign for two of them. sara's hand settles on top of linda's, lets their fingers link together on her arm rest as she simultaneously lifts a fry towards linda's mouth.
#romance, the two of them. )
What've you been keeping yourself busy with lately, huh? I haven't seen you in forever.

You know, the usual. Cuddle, traumatize Barry, try to do as little work as possible in the meantime.
( if it seems like linda's avoiding the question, it's because she's definitely avoiding the question. the fry's good, though, salty and crispy and all of the terrible things that doctors and health nuts tell you to avoid. she's happy to linger with sara's hand on hers, too. why move? )
What's this shit about you being unemployed?

( cuddle? yup. traumatize barry? sounds about right. hell, sara's felt like doing the same lately. try to do as little work as possible? sold. )
Oh, right.
( like she's forgotten already. but she's not even vaguely tipsy yet — probably why her hand reaches out to snatch her second mimosa before it's even set on the table in front of them. perks of league of assassins training, or something like that. )
Magnus and his boyfriend left the city, so they closed Pandemonium when they went. Honestly, I'm gonna miss his weird magical cocktails more than I'm gonna miss the job itself, so it's no big thing. ( and she shrugs, chasing a sip of the mimosa with another french fry. )

Mick.
We've got bigger fish to fry in our world than Aruba
But if it'll make you happy I'll slap on a bikini and we'll sip mai tais by the beach here
You know
Where the fate of humanity as we know it isn't resting on our shoulders
It'll be nice.
Might remind me of one of those skeletons in my closet that I'm neither confirming nor denying

What, they couldn't find some hot girl to run the club for them? ( linda doesn't have much experience with whoever magnus or his boyfriend were, but now that they're gone, it seems a little silly to be falsely positive about the situation. closing a business when there are other people around to run it is the sort of idiot idea that she'd fully expect back home. not here, where people come and go so often.
sara's lack of an immediate reaction, coupled with her casual shrug, means the topic can be laid aside with just a quip or two. no need to drag the discussion out; if sara's happy to be unencumbered by a work schedule, linda's happy for her. plus, it makes scheduling things like this considerably easier if there's only one job to keep in mind.
her own mimosa is bright and sweet, definitely needed over the salty tang of the fries, and linda casually downs about half of it before she pipes back up again. )
And, oh — I've been seeing a guy, actually. ( "a guy", as if it's just some random stranger totally unrelated to their ridiculous web of known associates. ) Hence the torturing Barry part.

If that's what gets you off
Sure thing
( is she fucking with him? she'll never say. but if mick rory finds it pertinent to spend valuable eudio time on finding a bikini that he thinks will look good on her, she's certainly not going to stop him. )
I expect you'll keep me updated

[ it's always a coin flip as to whether or not sara's just fucking with him. either way, he is certainly happy to waste his day (as if he's got anything else more pressing to do) looking at swimwear for her, and hopefully, if he plays his cards right they'll both get something worthwhile out of this.]
Yeah, I'll send you updates. You can hard pass up to three times.

[it's probably more like how's he gonna get his shopping buddy to loosen up and play fashion model to the benefit of all, but details details.]
That's a short list of people. You're one. Snart's the other. Too bad neither of you are going shopping with me.

What's wrong with being confident? At least a third of pulling something off is believing you can.
[maybe they haven't said anything about anything, but really, there's not much else that he could be referring to. he's not complicated when it comes to these matters.]
