[harry offers polite smiles at bruce's assumed colleagues, but he's also keeping an eye out for anything that seems suspicious. eggsy had given him a little tidbit of information that the institute itself may have even been compromised in the attack--or at least whoever's in charge of it. hopefully by the end of their lunch, harry can raise the matter with him and get his two cents as an insider, a clearly respected one at that.]

I'd hope so--though if push comes to shove, I suppose you've got the old days to fall back on.

[referring to his stint in private security, of course--hopefully he'd be able to defend himself if ever there were a worst case scenario. at the question however, harry hesitates a moment.]

Just trying to keep abreast of it all. Had a momentary scare with Eggsy--I'm not sure if he told you, but he came into direct contact with one of the victims. He was given the all clear, but--not exactly a message I wanted to receive.

asfjkdv I'm so sorry I thought I already replied

[ Harry'd see tired faces, some asleep at their desks. No one is rifling through anything they shouldn't be, and the guard patrols are regular, all of them in pairs. ]

[ He knows push always comes to shoves, but he does hope it doesn't — actively. Interesting little self-examination. Bruce switches tracks, spares more than a cursory worried glance. No, he hadn't heard, but he isn't surprised the boy is running around getting into trouble. He wouldn't have needed someone he knew to be in danger, but it wouldn't have slowed him down any. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Let's hope he stays lucky.

[ They're at the front door now, a guard pulls it open for them both. ]

omg it's so fine!! i was gonna ask but i know you were busy this month c:

[those are precisely the things harry sees--he's always checking for those details as if he's on a job or worried about making a quick escape. he's clocked the guards, keeping half an interest on where they've been heading, what they seem to be looking for. everything eggsy had told him makes him even more interested in observing for anything slightly off besides exhausted techs at their desks.

still, it seems like on the surface everything is as one would expect. which is what brings him to bruce--that and eggsy, of course. harry sighs audibly at that.]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. He's a very loyal friend and a good apprentice.

[he pulls out some sunglasses and slides them on, umbrella still in his other hand.]

Any preferences for lunch?

[ Everything on the surface looks fine — aside from the Institute's leaks, but much as that wouldn't be out of place in a conversation with Harry, it's information to be chewed on. Nobody wants to cause a panic. ]

That depends, are we going dutch?

[ He smirks, slight. ]
