Laurel glanced around and seemed a little surprised to see only Nic. Then she shrugged and brought the cart over to the small table where Nic was seated. She took the top tray off and set it nearer to Nic but not close enough to be any danger to his laptop. She quickly removed the lid and inside was a variety of foods that Nic either liked or at least had eaten before made in fingerfood style. She placed the other tray on top of the cart and removed the lid as well. It was also filled with different fingerfoods but this tray seemed to be a bit random.

"I thought Missy would be here." she explained quietly, which explained the random tray, before pushing that cart within reach of Nic's arm as well.

The smells, while of course smelling good, had no strong or overpowering odors that might distract Nic from his work. It seemed like Laurel had thought this through almost perfectly. She even had two small plates with napkins.

"You get too absorbed, remember to eat." Laurel stated with not so much a fussing voice as acceptance on the matter.
