Meanwhile, Isabella and Linya keep getting distracted from their project of finding things to get and bring home by more excited-discussing-of-interpersonal-commonality. Linya quizzes the bar on how time dilation between parts of the bar works and says, "We're going to go see if we can get more of our conversation done while expending less time for the rest of you if we go elsewhere, but apparently the time syncing will conveniently slide back into place if any of you contact me by pen. You are all welcome to buy non-ridiculous quantities of things on my tab."

And up go the two of them, Isabella with a bowl of much-missed priv, Linya with her pen and a few PADDS and a kit of stuff to take them apart with that she's been accumulating.
