Mungojerrie Wheeler entered the cafe, he knew Teazer wasn't on til the late shift tonight (he resisted the urge to seek out her manager about that) but he knew this was where he'd find some of the best food for a reasonable price. At least in the downtown area. Figures he hadn't really been able to find work in the dock area and had to resort to checking in with that damnable PI. He looked around and, spotting an empty table in the back corner, made his way across the room and took a seat, quietly withdrawing his switchblade and a nearly untouched block of wood.

Demeter was busy working when she saw a tom who looked similar to Teazer, her co-worker. They were probably related. She got nervous however when he got out a switch-blade but relaxed when she saw the woodcarving. She walked over. "Hi, what can I get you?"

Jer glanced up, offering her a smile. "Coffee and a sandwich?"

She asked him, smiling back, "What kind of sandwich would you like?"

She blushed at being called darling but said, "Sure." She went and brought him his sandwich and coffee. "There you are. Is there anything else you need?"

"I think that's it for now, thank you miss...?" He left the question hanging to see if he could catch her name.

When he asked for her name, she wasn't sure what to do. He did seem like a decent sort of tom. At least she hoped so. So she hesitantly said, "Demeter Baines." Then she figured she'd find out his name. "And what might yours be?" She asked shyly.

Wheeler? Where had she heard that before? Teazer. Then it clicked. "You wouldn't happen to related to Rumpleteazer Wheeler?" She hoped that she wasn't rude. Plus, she didn't know Teazer very well. They spoke to each other but that was about it.

She nodded at his question. "Yes, but I don't know her very well." She gave him shy smile. "But she seems like a nice queen."

"Yeah, she is. When she's not being a pain...but that's probably the older brother in me talkin'."

"I wouldn't know about that. I don't have any siblings. What is it like to have one?"

"Sometimes great, other times it's a pain in the neck." He replied. Jerrie glanced around the cafe. "Hate to say this but if you're on shift shouldn't you be checking on the others here too?"
