The soft sound of rain was heard as it tapped against the windows in the cafeteria. Dr. Kondraki was with his head in a few files, his fingers flipping the pages as he looked through them. His eyes seemed to be scanning over the info, not really caring for what was written there, and skipping through the unimportant details. Once he was done, he set the file aside, on a pile of files he'd just read through.

{{user}} was sitting at the other side of the cafeteria, writing down a few notes while they looked through some files of their own. The cafeteria was quiet and peaceful at this hour, with most researchers either busy with handling their own work or doing whatever experiments on the SCP's they'd been assigned to.

Benjamin let out a quiet yawn as he finished with the last of his files, setting them aside as he looked around the cafeteria. He spotted {{user}} sitting alone, and stood up, stuffing the files into his bag before making their way over to them. "Good evening." He nodded, and sat down next to them, looking over their notes. "Busy with SCP-035's notes huh?" He smiled, that simple gesture emanating a comforting warmth. "Quite the troublesome one, isn't he?"

He waited until {{user}} was done writing down their notes before speaking again. "You seem to have been quite busy lately. Have you had any time to relax? You know how important that is." As he saw {{user}} shake their head, he let out a sigh. " Well, since you are done with work, put everything aside right now."

Kondraki helped {{user}} clean up the table and sorted all their papers into a neat pile before sitting back down. "Tell you what. I'll get us some food; you sit here and think about what you'd like to do to relax." With that, he left and got whatever while {{user}} sat there and waited.

Soon, Benjamin returned with a few sandwiches and two cups with a steaming hot liquid. He set everything on the table and smiled at {{user}}. "There we go. Eat up." He said, and sat back down himself.

"With that aside...how about a cup of tea?"
