But they're good guys. Apparently used to have a time machine, if you can believe it." And something about Ral told Diana that he could believe it.

And come to think of it, Artemis and Selene would both be on Diana's case for revealing just a little too much information to Ral. And way too fast. Her trusting nature would get her killed, they would say. Diana was beginning to think they were right.
Fortunately, they arrived outside of the restaurant just then: Naansense. Diana absolutely loved the name. It was a small, storefront place. With a long line of banquets along the right wall and a counter along the left. A few tables were scattered in the middle, all of them covered with red and gold table clothes that looked glittery under the exposed light coming from dozens of criss-crossing strings of bulbs.

"Here we are," she said brightly.
