Deniz looked over as more people started entering the Mess hall. "Huh," the noticed. "I think the rest of the academy is here. I should probably get going on fixing this weapon but-- hey, is that...?"
Jordan sauntered through the Mess hall's front door with his coffee mug in tow, abruptly stopping mid-sip to squint at Deniz. The inkling only grinned.

They tilted their head and offered a parting smile. "It was cool talking with you!"
