Hugo was getting a little too close for comfort to the topic of Havens again, and Tourmaline was getting... Antsy. She decided to push it a little further, test him a tiny bit to see if he was actually investigating, or just checking stuff out. "Isn't that a bit like a Haven, though? I mean, a gathering of Cantus users, or Cantus sympathizers?"
Tourmaline was trying to appear casual, though she might've been failing on account of the aforementioned social ineptitude. However, she felt like she was doing a good job of it. And, as luck would have it, the waiter brought their food just then, so Tourmaline had a bit to compose her face into what was hopefully conversational.
