You are in a good mood? Why?

I'm not allowed to be?

Of course you are, I'm just surprised.

Just woke up that way this morning. I can mope if it'll make you feel less paranoid, though.

No, don't, be happy, bring me coffee :)

You're lucky all my chores are done.

*will appear shortly, with coffee from the scary place in the Planet's basement.*

See? No point being at the farm anymore, you've already given Betsy and Daisy plenty of attention today.

(hahaha)

This morning, anyway. This afternoon I get to toss hay bales at them.

*sets the cup down on her desk.*

*blinks, looks up, grins* Hey, *looks at the cup, squinting* You braved your way through the sea of pink hearts for me?

Someone has to make sure you don't go crazy on caffeine withdrawal. Might as well be me.

Well, thank you, we all know the dangers that follow a drastic drop on my caffeine level.

Yes, we do. Which is exactly why you have some now.

And everything is under control. So what else brings you to Metropolis?

No reason. Best friend needed coffee.

Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

I thought so.

It's been an interesting day at the Planet with the new Editor.

How is she/he working out?

He. I don't know yet. Need more information.

Chloe, are you going to snoop? *shocked. no really.*

Me? Never. *pause, lowers voice* I can't seems to find much on him, and he is way too young even for an assistant editor. But I haven't officially met him yet.

There are child prodigies in the world. Maybe he's one of them?

You'll let me know how the meeting goes, right.

I know there are, and I'm not one to question someone's talents, but to come from the Star City Post to The Daily Planet it's a pretty huge leap.

You will get a call, by phone or otherwise, as soon as it's done.

Star City? *there's a pause, and possibly the smell of gears grinding.* Do you think Oliver might know him?

Good. Otherwise I'll just worry incessantly.

Maybe? Oliver isn't exactly friendly with other members of the press, but I can ask him if he heard of him before.

I know you'll be sitting by the phone, waiting breathlessly for my call.

Yeah, waiting around is exactly why you talked me into that cell phone a few years back.

Well, I didn't know you didn't exactly need one back them. But you gotta agree with me, it's very useful.

It's been... useful is a good word. I should head back and make sure the cows haven't broken into the barn and started partying.

Thank you for the coffee, *smiles,* and the company. I'm sure you'll still hear from me today.
