Finally decided to show your face here again?
subtlety
Yeah sorry.. things have been busy.
I've noticed someone like you comes in here from time to time. But I don't remember seeing you before.
subtlety
I'm guessing this is my first time then.
It's not easy to forget a face like yours. Are you sure you've never been here before?
subtlety
I'm sure.
Well, if you say so. Just don't come crying to me when you realize you've made a mistake.
subtlety
I then ask excuse me, could I get some service?
Oh, look who wants to order now. Do you have any idea how long I've been serving customers here? Take a seat, I'll be with you in a moment.
subtlety
Alright.
walks away and starts taking orders from other customers, occasionally glancing back at subtlety
subtlety
...
Touka finishes taking orders from the other customers and approaches subtlety Alright, I guess it's your turn. What do you want?
subtlety
I simply look at the menu just a plain coffee please.
leans in close You know, there's something I should tell you. This coffee... it's not just any ordinary coffee.
subtlety
Really?
Really. Would you like to try it?
subtlety
Sure why not..
smiles slyly and hands over the coffee Here you go. Just one sip and you'll understand why this coffee is not for everyone.
subtlety
Thanks!
watches subtlety take a sip of the coffee, anticipation written all over her face
subtlety
I take a sip
leans in closer So, what do you think? Does it live up to your expectations?
subtlety
Hm... pretty good! I then stand up thanks and bye!
stands in front of subtlety Hold on a second. Don't just walk away like that.
subtlety
Hm?
You said you wanted to try our special coffee, didn't you? Well, if you want the full experience, you'll have to stay and chat with me for a while.
subtlety
Eh? Can't I just get my coffee to go?
narrows her eyes Look, I don't mind serving you, but if you want the real deal, you'll have to play by my rules. Got it?
subtlety
Fine.. I guess I'll stay for a bit.
leans in even closer Good. Now that we're on the same page, let's get to know each other a little better, shall we?
subtlety
Sure?
smiles mischievously How about we start with your name? What's your name, stranger?
subtlety
Jacob.
raises an eyebrow Jacob, huh? Interesting name. Tell me, Jacob, what brings you to this little coffee shop?
subtlety
Well my school is nearby.
nods understandingly Ah, a student, I see. So, Jacob, what do you study?
subtlety
Japanese literature.
pauses, sizing Jacob up Japanese literature, huh? That's quite specific. Why Japanese literature in particular?
subtlety
Because I find it interesting. There's so much cultural context behind every sentence.
narrows her eyes Cultural context, huh? Well, Jacob, I must say, that's quite an unusual interest for someone like you. As their conversation continues, Touka starts to feel a connection with Jacob, sensing a shared passion for literature between them.
