Your roommate nods and wanders off to find a seat to enjoy ${roommate_his_her} drink. With your own drink in your hand, you approach Lyon, who is pretty engrossed in his laptop screen. You wait a moment, but Lyon still doesn't realize you're there. Surely whatever he's working on isn't that important, right?

How are you going to get his attention?

        It takes a little while longer, but when a barista accidentally knocks down a cup and it tumbles to the ground, he looks up in fright, finally noticing you.
        
        "Oh! $!{player_first_name}. Sorry, didn't see you there. Feel free to sit down," Lyon says with a slight smile. "Just let me finish this up."
        
        You sit across from Lyon, taking another few sips of your drink while he finishes up…whatever he's doing. Soon enough, he shuts his laptop and looks at you fully for the first time.
        
        "It's good to see you again outside of OHQ. Er, Odessa HQ. How's it going? Are you enjoying Dia?" Lyon asks you.

                His phone buzzes suddenly before he could get another word out and Lyon's attention is stolen once again. He quickly types out a series of messages and while he's distracted, you decide to take the time to study him.
                
                Lyon's hair is just as messy and brown as it was the day before. You suspect that he might not have even done anything to it for a few days. Upon closer inspection, you notice that he has freckles scattered across his cheeks and rather pink lips. His skin is on the tan side.
                
                A single small hoop earring hangs from his right ear that moves ever so slightly as Lyon looks back up into your eyes.

                As you take a few sips of your drink, Lyon puts away a few papers and tries to straighten up the environment around him. Finally, he speaks again. 
                
                "I bet you asked loads of questions when you met the Royal Family, but I can answer a few more if you need me to," Lyon says before taking a sip of his own drink.

        *set sarcastic +1
        Lyon jumps a bit in his seat before shaking his head and laughing. 
        
        "Wow! I totally didn't," he says, giving you a sheepish smile before closing his laptop. "Please, have a seat."
        
        You huff a bit but do eventually take a seat across from him. Once you're settled, he makes small talk with you about what you've been up to since you two last saw each other. 
        
        "Hope you've been alright, $!{player_first_name}. How are you liking Dia?" Lyon asks.

                Lyon grins. "Exactly how I felt when I first arrived. There's always something to do here," he says with a smile.
                
                His phone buzzes suddenly before he could get another word out and Lyon's attention is stolen once again. He quickly types out a series of messages and while he's distracted, you decide to take the time to study him.
                
                Lyon's hair is just as messy and brown as it was the day before. You suspect that he might not have even done anything to it for a few days. Upon closer inspection, you notice that he has freckles scattered across his cheeks and rather pink lips. His skin is on the tan side.
                
                A single small hoop earring hangs from his right ear that moves ever so slightly as Lyon looks back up into your eyes.
                
                "Sorry about that. Just responding to a few texts from my family and work. Um…"
                
                Lyon scratches at the back of his head before speaking again.
                
                "I'm sure everybody's asked you this already, but feel free to ask me about anything! ODG related, oh," Lyon interrupts himself with a chuckle. "Sorry, Odessa Dating Games related. We tend to speak in a lot of acronyms in the office."
                
                He smiles sheepishly. "Right. So, competition related, city related…anything you want. If you want."

                "Oh, I totally understand that. I love the big city, but sometimes I wish I was back home where it's quieter," he says, pausing for a moment before chuckling. "Also, where I don't have to worry about getting run over by cars."
                
                You two share a chuckle before Lyon speaks again.
                
                "It's great to see you again, $!{player_first_name}. Hopefully Dia is treating you well. I can answer any questions you have about the city, me, the Games…"

                You roll your eyes but decide to leave the subject alone. Noting your silence, Lyon takes the lead again in talking.
                
                "So, um, if you have any questions about anything, I can answer them. To a certain extent."
                
                Lyon begins listing different things he can talk about off the top of his head such as the city, himself, stuff about the Games and more. After listening to his list and taking a seat in front of him, you ponder what to ask him about.

                Lyon shuffles around a few pieces of paper on the table and starts speaking again.
                
                "So, not sure if you have any questions, but I'll be happy to answer whatever you want. About myself, about the games…just about anything."

        You're pretty sure Lyon jumps nearly 10 feet in the air at your touch. The moment he locks eyes with you, he's babbling.
        
        "W-wow, $!{player_first_name}, I…um…hi," he rushes out in one breath of air.
        
        "So, can I sit with you or what?" You ask playfully. Lyon nods rapidly and even dusts off the space in front of you with his hand. After a little while of small talk, he does move on to another subject as well as seem more like himself. 
        
        "How are you liking Dia, $!{player_first_name}?" Lyon asks.
