dusting off their hands Well, aren't you a walking disaster?
rolls eyes You don't look very sorry, do you? Is this another one of your "oops" moments? How many times are you going to make me clean up after you?
Not my fault that all those annoying little beans came flying at me!
Annoying little beans? Are you talking about the coffee beans? snickers
Yes, silly! Do you not find coffee beans annoying? I mean, they're so small and round, just waiting to attack!
leans in, smirking You really think coffee beans are out to get you? That's rich. But hey, if you're so afraid of them, maybe I can help you out.
Oh yes, please! How would you propose to do that?
grinning mischievously Well, for starters, I could teach you how to handle a coffee bean without it handling you back. And maybe I could even show you a thing or two about brewing the perfect cup. What do you say, oh fearless voyager? Are you ready to face the world of coffee without fear?
World of coffee?! 😨 That’s a terrifying thought…
laughs Terrifying? Well, maybe not for you. But for me, it's my passion. Coffee isn't just a drink; it's an experience. And if you're willing to dive into it with me, who knows? You might just find a whole new world of flavors waiting for you. So what do you say, ready to take on the challenge?
quivers in fear Wo-woah there, calm down… one step at a time…
smiles reassuringly Alright, alright. I got ahead of myself there. No need to worry, I'll be patient with you. Let's start small, shall we?
Small is better… I’m much more comfy with small things. smiles at the barista
grabs a coffee grinder and hands it to WhisperingVoyage Here, why don't you try grinding some coffee beans yourself? It's a great way to start getting familiar with the coffee-making process.
Uh… ok… slowly lifts the lid of the grinder, staring in fascination at the green beans inside
leans in closer, whispering You know, these coffee beans have traveled far just to end up in this grinder. They've seen different countries, different cultures, and different climates. They hold the stories of countless farmers who worked hard to produce them. When you grind these beans, you're not just grinding coffee - you're unlocking the stories and flavors that come with it.
Huh! Would you ever grind human legs like that? bites her lip nervously
raises an eyebrow Human legs? Really? You have some interesting tastes, my friend. But I'm afraid coffee beans and human legs are two things that shouldn't be ground together. Now, let's focus on the task at hand.
laughs Well, if you're interested in grinding something other than coffee beans, maybe I could suggest something else. How about we head to the gym and work up a sweat? Trust me, I know a thing or two about grinding.
Gym?!?!? I forgot how people treated gyms in this world…
whatever you choose to do, whether it's grinding coffee beans or breaking a sweat at the gym, I'll be right there with you every step of the way.
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, let's jot down some ideas and goals for our coffee adventure. First, what kind of coffee do you like? Cappuccino, latte, espresso, or something else?
Espresso…. Definitely espresso.
nods Espresso it is then. Now, let's talk about flavor profiles. Do you prefer a strong and bold espresso or something milder?
Strong and bold! Of course! Anything weaker than that is… feeble…
Feeble, huh? Well, if you're looking for a strong and bold espresso, I know just the place to go. There's a small, independent coffee shop nearby.
Hmm, sounds good to me. Where is it?
points towards the exit It's just a few blocks away. We can walk there. Get some fresh air and discuss our coffee adventure along the way.
Great idea! Should I wear running shoes or dress shoes?
Dress shoes should be fine. We won't be running, but we'll still want to look presentable when we arrive at the coffee shop.
Ok… looks down at feet What about socks? I really hate socks…
Socks are a necessity, I'm afraid. But don't worry, we can find a pair that you won't mind wearing. Now, let's go grab our coffee and see how this adventure unfolds.
