Winter Magic (Part 2) → (Please read Part 1 first here )

“Wait… You think I’m a spy?” Kurt’s eyes widened.

Blaine raised an eyebrow, and Kurt noticed the tension in Blaine’s body at the question.

“Aren’t you?” He asked harshly.

“Of course not! I just told you I work at Vogue.” Kurt replied. “And if you happen to find a coffee shop with that name, please let me know, because I’m pretty sure that name is trademarked.” Kurt snapped. “God, I just…”

“You just…?” Blaine interrupted impatiently, leaning forward in his chair.

Kurt sighed. “I made a bet with my roommate,” he spat out. “We made a bet on whether I could reproduce our favorite winter coffee at home,” Kurt explained. “Her birthday is the deadline. Which is tomorrow, by the way," he added sadly.

Blaine sat back in his chair and tried to process what he had just heard. He studied Kurt’s disappointed expression, wondering if he should believe him.

“You could have just taken a cup of Winter Magic home and put it in a mug, you know.”

“That’s cheating!” Kurt said indignantly. “And I know I can do it.” he added confidently, taking a sip of his coffee. His eyebrows immediately furrowed.

“Are you sure?” The barista asked and Kurt put down his coffee, pursing his lips.

Blaine shook his head, turned his attention back to his coffee, scraping the seam of the paper cup as he thought about it. He took another sip and sighed.

“What did you bet?” He asked, still staring at his coffee.

Kurt looked up at Blaine hopefully. “If I lose, I’ll have to do all the dishes in the evenings.”

“Forever?”

“As long as we’re roommates, yes.”

“Ugh,” Blaine groans sympathetically. “And what if you win?”

“Rachel can’t start warming up her vocal cords before 6am. And I need my beauty sleep, Blaine!” Kurt looked at him meaningfully.

For a moment, a warm feeling filled Blaine’s chest. It happened every time he thought Kurt remembered his name before he realized he was wearing a name tag. Finally, he looked at Kurt again, and seeing the miserable look on Kurt’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh. Okay, he’s probably not a spy, Blaine decided. Thank God… 

“You use too much cinnamon.”

“I like cinnamon.”

Blaine smiled. “Noted. I’ll definitely think about it next time.” He took another sip. “Otherwise, it’s quite good,” he added.

“I know," Kurt replied, as if nothing could be more obvious. “But it’s not the same as yours.”

“No, it’s not. But… I think you’re missing just one ingredient.”

Kurt looked at Blaine excitedly. He leaned forward over his table, his eyebrows raised in question. Blaine leaned forward too, close enough that their faces almost touched. 

“I guess if I told you, that would be cheating too,” he whispered.

“Shit!” Kurt growled. He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. “You’re right,” he grumbled. 

“I’m sorry,” the barista smiled. “But don’t be hard on yourself, this recipe has many elements.”

“I don’t understand,” Kurt shook his head. “I’ve used soy milk, I added star anise, ginger, nutmeg, hazelnut syrup, cloves, cinnamon, cocoa nibs, turmeric and saffron, a touch of chili, pumpkin syrup…”

“I’m impressed, by the way.”

“What am I missing?” Kurt asked, sounding desperate. “Some exotic spice that I couldn’t find even if I looked for it?”

Blaine laughed, but stopped when he realized it was making Kurt look even more miserable. He took another sip of his coffee and leaned a little closer. “How did you get the proportions so right?”

“Well, I could lie and say it was easy, but since you know I’ve been suffering with this for weeks now…” he covered his face with his hands in embarrassment.

“Kurt, I’ll be honest. I know seasoning isn’t atomic physics, but I’ve been working on these specialties for months to get the perfect balance of ingredients and make them all special, something the customer can’t get anywhere else. You copied our best-selling coffee specialty in two weeks.”

“Well, I did not, did I? I missed something.” Kurt grumbled.

Blaine smiled and twirled the cup absentmindedly in his hand. “I want to know how you did it.”

Kurt shrugged. “I’m pretty good with spices.”

“I can see that.”

“I like to cook and bake, that’s all. I’ve experimented a lot since I was a kid, it’s just fun. There’s not much difference between trying to find a new character for a cookie and this,” Kurt pointed to his coffee and the spices. “It drives me crazy.”

Blaine watched as Kurt tensely organized the small jars in front of him. He was really impressed that Kurt had gotten this far in figuring out his recipe. Blaine was already convinced that the guy in front of him wasn't a spy. He believed him, and he knew that Kurt would soon figure out the last ingredient.

Blaine sighed and leaned back in his chair. “Tell me what spices you use in your favorite cookies.”

Kurt opened his mouth to reflexively say no, since he never shared his recipes with anyone, except Carole. But he froze when he realized that it probably wouldn’t be fair to say no at this point.

Blaine noticed Kurt's hesitation and raised an eyebrow. “Is that a secret, Kurt?” He asked, amused. He leaned closer to Kurt across the table, a playful smile appearing on his face. “I think you owe me that much, Kurt.”

Kurt shook his head, but smiled back at the barista. He opened his mouth to speak, but Blaine cut him off by raising his hand.

“Wait,” he said, and grabbed Santana’s arm as she was about to walk past them. He whispered something in her ear, she nodded and walked on. “I’m listening now,” Blaine turned back to Kurt.

“My favorite recipe is actually quite simple,” Kurt began, playing with the paper cup in front of him, his eyes on the coffee. Cinnamon dominates, of course. No surprise,” he glanced up at Blaine for a second, who smiled at him and nodded encouragingly. “I use cardamom, ginger, vanilla, a little cumin, it gives it character, and…” Kurt’s eyes widened as he finally put the last piece of the puzzle in place. “I can’t believe it,” he looked up at Blaine, who was grinning at him. 

“You’re welcome,” Blaine said, then drank the rest of his coffee, picked up the empty cups and stood up.

“How could I have missed it?!” Kurt shook his head in disbelief.

“It was too easy, I guess. And it doesn’t dominate at all. I’m not a fan of it, but if you use just a very small amount it can balance out the other spices.” Blaine explained. “I have to go back now.”

“Of course.” Kurt nodded and thanked him.

The moment Blaine left the table, another tray landed in front of Kurt with a freshly brewed, steaming cup of espresso, hot water and a vanilla bar next to them.

"Boss ordered this for you. It’s on the house," the waitress said before disappearing among the tables.

-

A few minutes later, Blaine spotted Kurt at the counter, and he couldn’t help but smile at him. 

“Did it work?” he asked as he walked up to Kurt.

“I don’t know yet.”

Blaine looked at Kurt then down at the coffee cup questioningly.

“You tell me,” Kurt said, placing the cup in front of Blaine. “I made this one for you.”

“Thank you.” Blaine smiled in surprise. Slowly, he raised the cup to his lips, and keeping eye contact with Kurt, took a sip of the coffee. He’s nervous, Blaine observed. Cute.

“So?”

Another sip, just to be sure. 

“Wow. It’s perfect, Kurt. It really is.”

“Really?” Kurt jumped with excitement, making Blaine laugh. “Thanks for helping me.”

“I didn’t do anything, you figured it out on your own,” Blaine shrugged. “And you know, if you were looking for a job…” Blaine started, and he realized he was only half joking. But Kurt laughed. 

“No, I’m not. But with this offer you’ve convinced me, I guess the coffee turned out really good,” he said. 

They said goodbye before Kurt headed for the door.

As Kurt walked out of the coffee shop, Blaine leaned against the counter and drank the rest of his coffee. He stared at the empty cup in his hand, lost in thought and smiled. He wondered when he would see Kurt again. He hoped he would come back. Even if Blaine just helped him make his favorite coffee at home, so he had no reason to... 

Oh, shit. 

The thought knocked him out of his good mood. I should have asked for his number. He was wondering how many men named Kurt could work at Vogue, and if trying to find out what would be considered stalking, when Santana appeared next to him.

“I’m an idiot,” he groaned.

“Yes, you are, Boss,” she said, patting him on the shoulder. “But at least he’s not,” she added as she reached over and swirled the cup in Blaine’s hand, revealing the handwriting on the other side.

Alrighty,here is the outline of my ao3 rhythm heaven goat story,I would make this into a actual fic but I’m currently VERY unmotivated, Still,I hope you enjoy this outline of what I have of this weird fic I made up that probably doesn’t make that much sense,(under the cut)

•Story starts with a tale about a race of holy goats that used to fight off demons of all kind but have since been extinct in present day but their descendants still remain… (Probably will not be in the actual story though since it not that relevant to the story)

•Then it cuts to the main goat of our story just after being born in the Stomp Farmer’s Farm alongside her siblings

•Should be noted that she is never really given a name and just refers herself as “The Goat”

•The Goat then describes her life in the farm,with the Stomp farmer taking great care of her and The Goat wanting to explore outside the farm

•She also notes how the Farmer thinks she is a bit different from her siblings by her liking eating a lot more and growing more bigger but brushes it aside

•Then one day,The Goat decides she wanted to sneak out of the farm so she can take a walk and see the outside,Just for a while!

•So when her family and the Stomp Farmer sleep,she sneaks out of the farm’s fence and spots a city not too far from here so she pays a “quick” visit

•While quietly exploring,The Goat gets distracted by a animal (like a bug or a small bird) and goes after it

•Some Goat shenanigans happen

•Eventually she gets too exhausted to go back to the farm and sleeps in a alleyway

•Then when she wakes up,The Got realizes that she is lost in this crowded city

•Some goat angst happens

•Then she encounters The Gatekeeper Trio who is slightly younger and The Goat bonds with Saffron in particular

•After a bit,The Trio try to give her back to the Stomp Farmer but after some consideration,He allows them to keep the Goat mainly because he thinks she is old enough to be taken care of by somebody else

•And so,After a while of being cared for by Saffron,The Goat mellowed out,having a more relaxed and lazy personality in her adulthood

•Then she got sold to the Barista and I’m sure you know the rest

•A epilogue involving the Stomp Farmer perhaps?

And that’s it! If you read to the end,thank you,I apologize if this was a bit messy,then again,this is just a outline so there is a possibility that I could alter/expand of some things, nevertheless I hope you enjoyed this <3

26. The Murder of a Mailman

SEASON TWO BEGINS

Anyone who's read the episodes up to this point receives infinite kudos because I don't know how to repay you 😭

I also don't know what to say either so I'mma just be a loser

Four more episodes until goat lord

DON'T READ THE EPISODES UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK!!

Logico goes to the post office and finds two things, an astrology chart and a dead mailman. 

LOGICO: Oh, hilarious.

Who else is there? His neighbors Crimson, Coffee, and the INFAMOUS Mayor Honey (EW). Logico learns some new things such as that letter openers are not allowed in the sorting room because of ‘the Incident’.

COFFEE: Ooh, I remember that day!

He learns some other things too, like the fact that testimonies are kind of crucial.

LOGICO: By my calculations this means… whoever had that GIANT GIFT is a BALD-ASS.  COFFEE: Why do you hate me so much?? 

You Can Trust Mayor Honey, says Secret Admirer. 

LOGICO: Ew, are you sure? SECRET ADMIRER: Positive.

Turns out the reason that Logico hates Coffee so much is because a) he’s killed people in the past and b) he did it today too.

COFFEE: Oh well. A good soldier admits when he’s defeated.

He says that like he just lost a game of chess. Anyway, Logico finds a letter addressed to him. He’s expecting money from Chalk, cuz that bastard owes him money, but it’s an invitation to meet at the Investigation Institute.

LOGICO: There are detectives… other than me?

The end!

Seasons 3-4 have consistently longer episodes dw

Hmmm here's my friend who is in love with Champagne

And!!

a barrage of out-of-context s1 quotes for absolutely no reason

AUREOLIN: I trusted you and your fork, you dumb... fork! LOGICO: Whatever happened to 'thou shalt not kill', you incompetent son of a bitch? LOGICO: I HATE THIS ABSTRACT STATUE!!! LOGICO: I hate leather! Why would you want to wear someone else's skin?? LOGICO: Fuck you, police brutality! GREY: I HATE GARDENING, IT'S FOR GIRLS!!! LOGICO: Good gracious, the dialogue. LOGICO: The fuck is a marot? LOGICO: [manly British sobbing] SAFFRON: Well, hehe, guess I'm going to jail then! CHAMPAGNE: They're serving free drinks over his still-warm body! COFFEE: Welcome to Coffee's Shop! Have you seen the dead barista? "Fuck my life, I want to die..."/"Well not yet, there's been a murder!" LOGICO: Incredibly stupid. Why did I ever admire this author? INK: You're such an ass. Why did you do that? LOGICO: Fuck detective work, I've found my new LIFE! LAVENDER: YACHTS AREN'T FOR PUBLISHING, AND REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE, CHALKERS!! LOGICO: Please, I'm the main character! He can't do that to me! BLUSKI: I'm really sorry. I was actually trying to kill Logico, and this person was really fat and short, so I thought it was him. MIDNIGHT: I'm not standing. I don't got legs. BLACKSTONE: I just uh omg um hi "What do you need all that paper for??"/"Killing."/"Gee, well, let's not give it away too soon." RASPBERRY: [feminine scream] COPPER: YOU'RE A DETECTIVE FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

BACKSTORY

The second of the three daughters of the witch Azalea Woodstock, her childhood was full of everything... save a present and emotionally available mother. Her and Saffron raised themselves into very different beings, and, when it was time to go to college, Saffron ran off to the furthest univeristy that'd have her and Amaryllis stayed in the state, which was a lot. Not finding a suitable job, when she finished her career, went back to Santa Renata and worked as a barista for her friend Brooke. She noticed that her most regular customer was a beautiful stranger.

DURING THE SERIES

The day she received the news that her mother had died was life-changing for her. The handsome stranger, Marion, turned out to be a sort of magical being... which she discovered at the same time she discovered she had a younger sister, Maggie, and that they all possesed magic and were a coven protected by Marion herself.

The first days were rocky, for the three sisters barely knew one another and had many things built up, but with Marion's guidance, they built themselves a good coven bonding. At the same time, she discovered the wraiths... and a major one being Miss Bell, her mother's lawyer, who was named Kaine, the mistress of pleasure of the Wraith King who she planned to betray over her. She was drawn to her too, as well as Marion, and was mostly torn apart.

Getting to know the witch community was enlightening, but the fact that it was being targeted by wraiths soured the experience. Enhancing her powers empowered her, and with now Kaine by the sisters' side, they went on for a quest to vanquish Doubt herself, Feras, which she succeeded, proving her power was a witch.

She also grew closer to her sisters through trials and tribulations, such as chasing Maggie's shadow or getting rid of nuisances like a bind from a ritual gone wrong.

The day of the Summer Solstice was supposed to be a great day... until Mara, who turned out to be a wraith, revealed that Kaine had been spying on them for the Wraith King all along. Heartbroken, Amaryllis sent her away for the coven's sake, despite wanting to believe her.

Then, tragedy struck Santa Renata, and Amaryllis knew she was running out of time. Unlikely allies came to her aid, and Marion was called to the front lines to fight. They made love as a goodbye, and the Woodstock sisters, alongside their allies, prepared themselves for a goodbye. Including Kaine, who wanted to redeem herself. Biding her a warm goodbye as well, not knowing if she'd live, the Woodstock sisters woke up with Maggie having been kidnapped in her sleep. Knowing that it was a trap, they went anyways.

The fight was fickle and arduous, but with her enhanced powers, after an exhausting fight, the whole gang came together to defeat the Wraith King, and they did.

After the battle, Amaryllis had decided after recent events that she didn't want to choose between Marion and Kaine, and so, she chose them both. They both took it rather well, and despite Kaine now being human and Marion still being a Guardian, they'd make it work.

Her sisters all got improved powers, but not Amaryllis. Until, one day, it came in the best way possible: she could take a peek at the future, and what a future was!

AFTER THE SERIES

A year later, her niece Azalea Jr. would be borne by her sister Maggie and Brooke, her best friend and now brother-in-law. Saffron and Penny also married and had a child, and Amaryllis, Marion and Ziyi all married in the nearest state where you could marry two people and two years later had their daughter, Jade, who was her pride and joy, and she and little Azalea grew up together.

The rest of her days were calm and full of witchy magic, knowing other newest covens and making the society a renewed one so mistakes wouldn't be repeated.

[new-eyes-extra-colors]

so despite worldbuilding getting away from me and implying that hoenn's cities are walkable while johto's largely aren't, i've still managed to dodge giving may a driver's license because 1. her family could not afford a second car, and she sure as hell wasn't buying one on barista wages and 2. i just remembered the goldenrod-saffron magnet train and have now decided johto's public transit infrastructure is at the very least decent in larger cities

[deldeldel90]

coffee shop au but it's in the modern au, of Blaine never really knowing what to do next- his father's in prison, his family is off doing their own things, and he never had any time for friends- so basically he's living off a small inheritance in an empty apartment with absolutely no direction in life anymore. taking the rat out the rat race, that type of beat.

so... he needs to get a job, if only to just keep himself busy for a while. if only to just stop- being so isolated. to give himself something to live for.

he enlists in a shop, becoming a barista, and there's bakers in the back and waitresses and the drive-through attendants and everyone, really. they all do their parts.

it's a little local coffee shop and goddamn, is it hell. the customers are... Sometimes okay, but there's also the ones that yell at him and tell him he's ripping them off. or that he's stealing money (like he needs to steal money), or that he's somehow caused it to rain outside and it's all his fault that Tommy is gonna miss his first soccer game.

then, he gets coffee- luckily, it was iced coffee- thrown in his face.

he barely has time to process what's happened when he finds himself yelling back- "you're lucky the damn rain came! Do I look like a wizard? Huh? Tommy was going to lose anyway!" And then, like a complete moron, he tosses a straw through her partially-opened window just as she's driving away.

he wipes his eyes, his face. he's all wet.

The girl with the neon, clunky bracelets and her hair tied up in a non-food safe ponytail bursts out laughing. the overworked girl with the blue hair casts a sharp look to her. the green-haired boy snorts, and hands him a napkin.

"i... Am going to get fired, aren't I," he mourned, rolling his eyes.

The girl-- Syrah- shakes her head. like a demon, she's still smiling. "no, unfortunately. this place is understaffed."

"hell is empty for a reason," saffron chimes in. he's wearing gardening gloves for some reason. "it's because they can't get anyone to work there."

prez frowns. "that's not a very positive mindset..."

Blaine can't help but shoot her a deadpanned glare. He's still soaking wet. This is ridiculous. "we're literally paid seven dollars an hour."

syrah looks back at him with raised eyebrows. "hey! who said the devil was rich?"

Abbi- one of the only alright people here- comes up. "I wish I had rollerskates for this..." She mumbles, and then, "I need a Mocha and a cookie!"

More headcannons!!

Espio was the one who found saffron and thought charmy turned into a girl for a split second

Saffron went through a emo phase:

Imagine that but more emo

Charmy gets forced to settle for his birthday on 04/05 by saffron who somehow new his birthday

Espio hates his own birthday for whatever reason

Vector unironically owns a three person bicycle

Julie su once bought charmy a ps5 due to vector not wanting to get charmy one

Julie su and vector have a sorta sonic - jet rivalry, but much more hatred

Julie su is currently tryna adopt saffron legally

Julie su has every type of gun

Saffrons main hyperfixation is Nights

Julie su works as a barista in a local cafe

Future Espio owns a private investigator service

Julie su is bisexual and she/they

Vector calls charmy 'a silly' after being online for a while, much to the dismay of Espio

Saffron can purr as buff tailed bumble bees can!!

Saffron NEEDS to hug something while going to sleep and while sleeping

Espio has a huge interest in the gone series and is not speed reading it

Mighty plays cluedo with Julie su, ray, Matilda, and saffron, Espio doesn't like the game and vector just goes with espios opinion, and charmy sees it as too complicated

Ray collects Pokémon cards

Saffron misses when she dyed her hair blue

Julie su likes to put saffron and matilda in medieval dresses, and Knuckles in a ballgown

Matilda smiles when saffron gives her little things like honey, flowercrowns, honey bagels, honey tarts

Julie su puts the honey saffron makes into treats and then gets the cafe to use em, everyone likes them

Saffron knows how to make honey and tries to teach charmy the right way, but he thinks he can do it perfectly

Saffrons honey is almost always saffron honey

Charmys honey is mostly sour sometimes

for archie fans ^^

these are all sounding about right haha

The Best Cafe Experiences in Doha: Where Coffee Meets Culture

Doha, the capital of Qatar, has seen rapid growth and development over the past decade, not only in terms of its infrastructure and economy but also in its cultural and culinary scene. One of the most notable changes in Doha’s landscape is the explosion of cafes that have become cultural hubs for locals and tourists alike. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or simply someone who enjoys the ambiance of a cozy spot to relax or meet friends, Doha's cafes have something unique to offer.

In this article, we’ll explore the best cafe experiences in Doha, where coffee meets culture, and highlight how these cafes provide more than just a drink—they are an integral part of Doha’s social life.

Doha’s Evolving Cafe Culture

The rise of cafes in Doha is not just a passing trend. Over the past few years, the city has become a vibrant cafe culture destination, influenced by global coffee movements and local traditions. The Qatari coffee culture is deeply rooted in hospitality, with Arabic coffee (Gahwa) being a central part of the country’s identity. Traditionally served in small cups, Arabic coffee is often brewed with cardamom and saffron, and drinking it is considered a gesture of friendship and respect.

However, modern cafes in Doha blend these traditions with international trends, offering everything from classic espresso-based drinks to intricate specialty brews. The combination of heritage and innovation is what makes the Doha cafe scene so exciting and diverse.

The Characteristics of a Great Cafe in Doha

So, what makes a cafe in Doha stand out from the rest? The answer lies in the details. While the quality of coffee is essential, there are several factors that elevate an ordinary cafe to one of the best in the city.

1. Quality Coffee Beans: A great cafe in Doha starts with premium coffee beans. Many cafes source their beans from well-known international suppliers, while some have developed relationships with local roasters to ensure the highest standards of coffee. The emphasis on quality beans ensures that every cup of coffee is flavorful and satisfying.

2. Unique Offerings: Doha’s cafes are known for offering something special—whether it’s a signature drink or a unique blend of coffee that can’t be found elsewhere. From the “Doha Latte” to "Qatari Espresso," cafes are tapping into local flavors and ingredients to create beverages that are distinctly Qatari.

3. Atmosphere and Ambience: A cafe’s atmosphere plays a critical role in attracting customers. The design and layout of cafes in Doha range from modern, minimalist spaces to cozy, traditional settings that make visitors feel like they are stepping into a different world. Whether it's a vibrant, bustling cafe or a calm, serene hideaway, each cafe in Doha is designed to offer a unique experience.

4. Service and Hospitality: Qatari hospitality is legendary, and this extends to cafes. Exceptional service is the cornerstone of any top-tier best cafe doha. Baristas are not only skilled in the art of coffee making but also offer warm, personalized service that makes every visitor feel special.

5. Food and Pastry Selections: A cafe experience is incomplete without a good selection of food. From croissants and cakes to more elaborate meals, cafes in Doha often feature gourmet food options to complement their coffee offerings. Many cafes focus on high-quality, freshly made pastries and snacks to ensure that customers can enjoy a full sensory experience.

Best Cafe Doha: Where Coffee Meets Culture

Now that we have an understanding of what makes a great cafe, let’s take a look at some of the best cafes in Doha where coffee truly meets culture.

1. City Center Doha – A Hub for Coffee Lovers

When it comes to finding the best cafes in Doha, one of the best places to start is City Center Doha. This iconic shopping center is not just a retail haven—it’s also home to some of the best cafes in the city. With a range of cafes that blend international coffee culture with local influences, City Center Doha is the ultimate destination for those seeking variety and quality.

At City Center Doha, you’ll find coffee shops offering everything from freshly brewed espresso to local Qatari delicacies.

saff waits for her to grin and confess that the extra request is just a joke, but when the stranger instead begins to pout and mentions her missing wallet again, saffron's brows rise. she glances over at the barista who's already begun preparing their beverages, and then at the receipt folded in her hand. what can she say ? sorry, an extra large scone is just a little too pricey for me, the widow of a famous guy who owned a private jet ? "it's fine," saff declares instead. she catches the barista's attention and politely requests one of their freshly baked scones. "you're doing me a favor anyway by not holding up the line while you check inside your socks or something for your missing wallet. i'm sort of running late for work." a common position for saffron whether she runs into a particularly needy stranger or not.

head shakes frantically, mimicking the act of defeat. completely disregarding her search, she clutches her bag close to her side. "maybe, maybe it's just misplaced," pretending to hold onto some sort of false hope of a wallet that was never stolen or misplaced, to begin with. "i'm gonna have to spend like all day retracing my steps," her sullen gaze falters to the pavement, only to be lifted seconds later as the stranger so graciously accepts her request. it was like taking candy from a baby, far too easy. "really? you're totally the sweetest. you've made this shitty day like so much better. you have no idea!" there was no lie there, not having to spend her own money on little treats for herself sparked her serotonin. "hm, now that you mention it...i am kind of hungry. i was kind of hoping i could grab a quick bite." a small pout tugged at her bottom lip, testing how far in her scheme she could possibly go. "it's totally no big deal. i'll find my wallet at some point, right?"
