[ At the thought of her height being affected she had to hold back a chuckle.

Her hand was still curled around the mug of the handle as she looked to it and then Abel. On the one hand, coffee. On the other, she was supposed to be playing up the child act. ]

...

[ Coffee. Making sure not to blow her cover that she is a scientist in hiding. Coffee. Not dying. ]

... Orange juice is fine.

kitchen filter; i'm sorry for the late! ;;;;

[oho! and Abel, oblivious of her DILEMMA of WOE, is all smiles as he goes to fetch the container out of the fridge.]

Good choice, miss! This is a lot better for your health, you know! And I think it tastes a lot better. Especially when people sometimes forget to clean out the pot around here... [BLECK.]
