It was late afternoon not quite early evening and they were at the campus bar. Sure it was a bit before dinner or before people came in to really drink, but it being more empty was a good thing. And it wasn't actually too early to be drinking still. The main reason to be here was because there was free pool once a week and the table wasn't in use (it always seemed occupied at Xavier's) so since he had an evening conference (it was really kind of useless, and barely anyone showed up but there were attendance marks for presentation days, of which this was one) he decided now was the time to take advantage of free pool. And might as well play Etoile for the fun of it too.
