[ He steps into her reflection and she almost doesn't catch him, too distracted with curling a stray piece of hair on the top of her head. But then he talks, and she freezes — is hit with that same realization that the person she's seen on her screen is alive and breathing like she is and it's strange. Terrible? Because when she finally reminds herself to turn around and make eye contact, she sees that.. Dear god.

He really does look like that. ]

Yes! That's me. [ He doesn't touch up his face at all.. He's so pretty? What the hell? ] I'm sorry, I didn't even hear you coming.

[ She switches her drink to the other hand to offer him a handshake (not before patting her palm down at her thigh in a tizzy, because condensation!!). She doesn't typically do this — handshakes and hugs are strictly for meet and greets! — but she also typically doesn't go to the gym, either. Typically doesn't get consultations, and as casual as this feels with the way they're both dressed, this is still 'business'. Right? Right! ]

It is so great to meet you, too, Zagreus. Thanks for seeing me.

[ She smiles something bright and dazzling his way. ]

I've heard a ton of good things about you, so I'm pretty excited.
