Devika gave him a mildly startled look, before she started to laugh. She reached out and gave Nicholas a punch in the shoulder. "Geez, lighten up, will you Nick? No talking about cancer at the lunch table. That's a rule." It was something she did for her parents, too. She demanded that they not speak about work while they were eating together. Sometimes, she just wanted them to get out of their own heads, out of that work mode, even for a little bit.

"Sorry...I just have...a distaste for things like that..." Nicholas said taking another bite of his burger,"Then what should we talk about then?" He said with a blank look on his face looking up at her.He wondered and more like he wants to know more about her but of course he didn't want to come off as desperate or rude.
