Anything for a Cup of Coffee ((11))

[victoriousscarf]

Sonya blew into the Cafe much as he had several days earlier, looking somewhat like a storm. The last several days with that damn Pinkerton had been as terrible as the first. Thankfully the man had informed him about lunch time that the files were useless and as such Sonya would hopefully not have to deal with him again. At least not for a good while yet.

He glanced around the cafe, which was rather empty being something like three fifteen in the afternoon, half between the lunch and dinner crowds. Luckily they served coffee at all point in the day, and he claimed a table to one side.

Rumpelteazer put the sandwhich down in front a customer, exchanging a few words, though out of the corner of one eye she was watching Sonya come in and take a seat. Finishing with the current customer, she checked her watch, trying not to yawn, she'd done the breakfast and lunch shifts that day and was meant to have left around two, but the waitress for the afternoon to dinner shift had yet to show up, and until then, so long as they had customers, she was stuck here. At least, she supposed, it was a bit of overtime on her wages.

She made for Sonya's table, half hoping he didn't want anything complicated, "Hello," she offered him a pleasant smile, albeit a tired one. "what can I get'y?"

[victoriousscarf]

He tried to keep his voice level, "Coffee please," he asked, rubbing a paw over his face. He was just about ready to fall asleep over the table.

[amanika]

Rumpelteazer nodded, offering him a smile that was as much relief at the simplicty of his order than anything else, "Comin' right up, milk and sugar?" she couldn't help but think the cat before her looked like she felt, if not considerably worse.

[victoriousscarf]

"On the side if you would," he rumbled, offering her a small, exhausted smile in return.

[amanika]

Teazer nodded, "Anythin' else?"

[victoriousscarf]

He considered for a moment. "Ask me again after the second cup of coffee."

((Sonya, this is *not* healthy for you...))

[amanika]

Teazer couldn't help but laugh a little at that, she paused and looked Sonya up and down, "Are y'sure? Forgive me f'saying it but you look terrible, an' I thought I'd had a long day, but Ive got nothin' on you."

[victoriousscarf]

"It's been a long week... a long month even," he said, drooping a little. "I should probably eat though... Do you have a menu I could look at when you get my coffee?"

[amanika]

Teazer nodded, no longer worried about him making a complicated order. "Sure, I'll be back in two minutes."

She was as good as he words, retutning shortly with a cup of coffee and a copy of their lunch menu, they'd technically finished serving lunch and only did light snacks whilst they prepared for the dinner orders in the kitchen, but Teazer got along rather well with most of the kitchen staff and the duty chef had agreed to let her take a lunch menu out.

"Here y'go." she put the tray, milk and sugar on the side, with the coffee cup down on the table and handed Sonya the menu. "Jus' let me know when you've decided."

[victoriousscarf]

"Thank you so very much," Sonya said, accepting both and taking a long drink of the coffee before he turned to the menu, glancing through it quickly. He knew he was supposed to eat food, but did not feel much like it. "Would it be possible to get a soup like this?" he asked, pointing to one. "I do not wish to be much trouble for your kitchen."

[amanika]

Teazer looked at the soup indicated on the menu. "Not a problem," the soup was actually easier, since they served the same soups for dinner and lunch so there was always plenty on hand, one of the menu items they seldom ran out of, "y'want it with rolls and butter?"

[victoriousscarf]

He thought about that for a moment and nodded his head. More food was probably a good idea. "Yes, please."

[amanika]

Teazer nodded, "White or brown bread?"

[victoriousscarf]

Sonya paused for a second. There was more than one kind of bread...? "White, please," he said, hoping that it was what he normally picked up from the grocery store... when he remembered to buy food. All his habits of not taking care of himself had only been getting worse lately.
