[Lunch break.

It's been a long couple of hours to get through, what with the course participants consisting mainly of women under the age of 30, but Claude's group has worked surprisingly efficiently, getting a head start on the subject of objectivity in the press - under much discussion. He has left the three girls to their free time gossiping now, retreating to his seat further back in the room. To his vacuum jug of coffee and his daily edition of Le Monde.

Luc, the other Luxembourg Daily journalist present, will just have to seek him out if he needs him.]

[Their lecturer comes in at that exact moment, groups of chattering girls following along from taking their breaks outside the room. But he takes a bit longer than necessary anyway to accept the card and place it in his wallet. Getting a feel for it, so to speak, because in a moment, as soon as he moves on, things will progress to first stage - the usual sense of free fall. He likes that. It's how all relations start (and usually how they end, too).

With a quiet nod - intentionally mirroring his initial greeting - he turns away and returns his focus (at least partially) to the topic at hand.]
