oh! hello! come in! you look great!
and you! you're looking quite well yourself. look at you, all dressed up like a business woman!
ha, not even close. full uniform requires shoes you could stab someone with and all black, all the time. but whatever! so good to see you. you're here! you made it!
well, it is lovely to see you too. and there is no need to sound so surprised that i made it here intact. i have, in fact, been on an aeroplane before, you know, my dear.
no, no, no, i mean you made it through our security downstairs with your suitcase and everything without them calling up. no hassle?
right, that part was a bit surreal. they pawed all through my handbag and insisted i open up my empty little paper cup of tea, but just gave a quick glance at the suitcase! as though perhaps i were hiding a bomb in my tampon case. can't say it inspired great confidence in the security of the building.
but amazing that they let you come up without an escort.
i must say, i do find it rather astonishing how far the british accent will get you here.
yeah, we're suckers like that. enjoy it while you can. let me finish up this email real quick. i keep a secret stash of tea here in my drawer. why don't you run down to the pantry and get yourself a quick cup, then we'll catch up.
right, i passed it on the way in, looked like a few people in there. what should i say if they say anything to me?
ah, they probably won't even notice you.
