"Well... they're beginning soon, and being french, you know, european football kind of is a national thing. Was searching the newspapers for infos on it, but there's very little."

Jennifer giggles a little.
"Oh yes. Sorry...", she says, "...but soccer is something of a non-sport here. Aside from the Olympics, we don't really take well to international games. I don't know why."

"Probably the whole 300lbs couch potatoes syndrome, I guess." he says before quickly adding "But I'm joking. Though, more simply, I guess it's mostly each regions having their own sport."
"To each their own, that is the saying, right?"

Jennifer snickers. "Oh sure, we have our couch potatoes...but even televised international sports get shafted on all the mainstream stations."
She shrugs. "Even hockey was dropped by most of them, though that's understandable, since the strikes pretty much dissolved the league."

"Heh, hockey's never been much of a thing in France. Not enough snow and ice, you know?" he says, smilling a bit as he finishes his coffee.
"Anyway, I was thinking about it, but I was thinking about giving this Shifters club a bit of a try somewhen soon. Though, I'll admit I've mostly forgotten your directions for the place." he says, scratching behind his head a bit.

Jennifer chuckles nervously and sets down her coffee mug.
"Actually, it might not be such a good idea to go there now. They've had some recent problems."

"Oh?" the frenchman asks, setting down his now empty coffee cup as well.
"How so, what happened? The place seemed rather decent according to the earlier descriptions you had given me."

"Oh..it's...well...They just need some time for things to get back under control.", she says, trying to dodge the question. She really doesn't seem to want to talk about it.

The frenchman frowns a bit. Okay... nervousness, hesitation on words given in answer, obvious dislike to talk about the matter and so called "rough week".
He finally asks. "Is it linked to the troubles you've been having this week?"

Jennifer smiles a bit. If one thing could be said of this man, it was that he wasn't an idiot...though then again, Jennifer hadn't been doing a very good job of hiding herself from him and she knew it. Sitting up straight in her chair, she takes another drink of her now lukewarm coffee and nods to him. "Yes...though I don't particularly wish to talk about it."

The frenchman simply nods a little. "No problems. A bit of a shame, though. I was actually looking forward to seeing the place."

Jennifer nods and looks away awkwardly.
"How about I take you once it's safe again?"

"Heh, sure. The way you first made it sound like sounded like it was a nice place."

Jennifer smiles and nods, finishing the last of her coffee.
"It was."
She stretches her arms up over her head and smiles at Cyril, feeling much more at ease.
"So, now what?"

"Hmm, I don't know. If anything, I don't work tomorrow, so I pretty much have a free evening in front of me today. I was planning to go check tomorrow some antique library I recently found, to see what kind of books they have there, but I have nothing planned tonight. Will probably try to take a better look of the city as well."
"Perhaps you could know of some other interesting place than the Shifters club to go at? "
