Lewin James Patterson § The Mocha § Location: Outside The Tiny Mug § Tagged: Kaila
Thinking about what Kaila had just said, Lewin nodded a bit, a soft smile forming on his lips. "Yeah, I suppose that's true - a change of scenery was much needed, honestly. I've lived in the same city ever since my family moved there, when I was younger, and I moved not too far from the rest of my family when I left my parents' place. I guess you could say it's new for me to be so far away from home, but it's also nice to have a fresh start," he responded, a tiny hint of his light British accent laced through his words. It was true, he missed his parents and sisters already; however, aside from that aspect, getting out of the city was, admittedly, really nice. The people in this town were so much nicer, and seemed a lot more pleasant than a lot of the cold, uppity individuals that were typically were in upstate New York. There were only few exceptions - his family and a good friend of his, Q, being some of them - that came to mind. He pulled himself away from his thoughts, however, and chuckled at Kaila's next remark. "Yeah, that's true, too - I don't think there can really be a dull moment with good ol' Red around," he added in agreement. He was a great dog, and was always an exceptional companion. Lewin watched as Kaila then started petting and hugging the dog. She really seemed to love the contented Red, who happily responded to her pets with a wagging tail.
When he heard her next question, he rubbed the back of his neck a bit. "Ah...yeah, I did, but...it's way too much space for just one person," he said with a slight chuckle. While he wasn't usually comfortable with sharing his background with people he'd just met, he wasn't too opposed to saying a bit about it to her. After all, she didn't seem to know who he was, nor did she come across as the type to care about money. She seemed pretty genuine, actually, which was also a nice change of pace.
Aspen Harpae Paisley § The Chai Latte § Location: The Tiny Mug § Tagged: N/A
Aspen now stood in line at The Tiny Mug - the coffee shop that she and Evangeline had made their way down to, after conversating for a little while longer - and was waiting to order something. Well, that, and she was going to inquire about the openings for the coffee stall at the autumn festival that she had been hearing an awful lot about. Thinking back, she wished she could have chatted with Evangeline more - she would've loved to make a new friend - but it sounded like Eva had somewhere to be. Oh well - who knows, perhaps they'd cross paths again, someday. It seemed like a small enough town, after all, and most people seemed to know one another, even if it was only a little.
Shrugging the thought off, the redhead made her way to the counter, once it was finally her turn in line. "Welcome to The Tiny Mug! What can I get started for you?" the barista said in a friendly tone. "Hi! Can I get a Mocha latte, the strawberry french toast, and a slice of coffee cake, please?" Aspen responded, matching the barista's chipper attitude. After a brief pause, she then quickly added, "Oh, yeah! Can I please get a bag of the Scottie Biscotti dog treats, too?" The barista wrote the three items down with a nod, and smiled, "Of course! I'll get that going for you!" "Thank you!" she responded.
As the barista was finishing up the order, Aspen then inquired, "Hey, are there still spots open for the coffee booth at the autumn festival?" "Yes, we actually just started accepting applications, yesterday! All the information should be on the pamphlets over here," the barista responded, nodding in the direction of the neat stack of pamphlets over by the cash register, as she handed Aspen her order. "Your total is $15.57!" Aspen grabbed her wallet out of her purse as she responded, "Great - thank you!" "No problem - have a great day!" the barista said as the girl took her order and a pamphlet. "You too!" she smiled before walking away from the counter.
Now, to find a place to sit...she thought to herself as she looked around the busy coffee shop. She figured that she could eat her food there, while she was reading through the pamphlet. Just a moment later, a table that was tucked away in the corner came into view, and she smiled as she started to head over to it.
Everett Jacob Smith § The Caramel Macchiato § Location: Outside § Tagged: Rosemary, Aspen and Ahmad mentioned
"Mhm," Everett nodded in agreement with a smile, then his gaze landed on the menu. The delicious aroma made the blonde boy all the more hungry. When Rosemary said she wanted pancakes and an affogato - and that Destiny wanted some dog food - he made a mental note of it. "Okay," he said with another nod. Upon hearing her question, he thought for a moment, then shrugged lightly. "I'm not sure, yet, I guess," he responded with a small chuckle, "But, I guess I'll have a bit of time to think about it." There were already a couple more people in line.
Noticing the redheaded girl at the front of the line make her way over to a table after she had picked up her order, Everett then stepped into the line with Rosemary and Destiny. As he did, Everett noticed a man walk through the door, whom went straight to the back. Maybe he was an employee, perhaps, Everett thought. Shrugging the thought off, he then returned his attention to the menu. That's when he saw the banana pancakes; that, paired with a caramel macchiato, sounded pretty good to him, at the time. "Hm...yeah, I'm getting the banana pancakes and a caramel macchiato, I think," he said, finally answering Rosemary's question with a nod. With that in mind, he waited in the line until they had gotten to the front.
After Everett took their order and payed, the barista then asked, "Will that be for here, or to-go?" Everett looked over at Rosemary. "What would you rather do?" he asked; in truth, he didn't care if they ate at the coffee shop, or if they went somewhere else to eat their food.
