Zeph received more than a few strange looks from the others when they noticed that he had two different tumblers and was actively drinking from both as they took their places around the table.
"I know you like coffee more than likely anyone else in Central, but don't you think it is a little excessive to bring and drink out of two different tumblers, Demonbane? This briefing is not going to last until the sun comes up you know."

"This one is carrot soup, Shelby."
Just as he was going to ask questions about why Zeph brought what was likely his dinner with him instead of finishing it within the hour they were given, Chief Bobby Marlecl looked at him in a way that told him he should keep his mouth shut.
Norton Coats, unfortunately, had his back turned at the time and missed the shut-it look due to pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"What all those women and none of them could ensure you got enough to eat in the allotted hour?"
