Ibani thanks the wait rat and downs the drink in one go. Force, she needed that!

Ben might notice as he approaches that she looks older than her actual age of 40, now. (Her hair is beginning to silver, looking like a frost over the darker base color.) It looks like she hasn't slept in, well, let's just say a while, eh?

"Ben, good to see you," she says as he gets close. "Even if I feel about a thousand years old at the moment."
