BouTEAque Time [Tatso & Tater]

son-tatso Tatso a Saiyan Time Patroller was sent to a certain era to investigate a distortion, though he was stuck, unable to find any leads beyond the where and when it was last detected. He supposed he should wait around to see if it happens again, so found himself exploring this time's West City to pass the time.

“Oh, BouTEAque? Haha that’s good!” he laughed at the punny coffee shop name he walked past it, getting interested enough for him to go in to check it out.

“Hello! I like the name of the shop, is there anything you would recommend?” Tatso asked the nearest staff member. He had a striking resemblance to a teenage Gohan and Goten due to his hair, though he hoped he could pass himself as a normal human civilian with spiky hair, having changed from his Sayan armour to more normal clothes before entering the city so he could blend in. // for Tater

As soon as she heard a customer entering, Tater gave an automatic greeting in a cheerful tone, tossing a friendly smile in their direction. "Welcome!"

She finished up cleaning a table before turning towards the newcomer when he gave his question, folding the rag in her hand and placing it on the table's surface with a hum of thought. "Recommendations..? Oh, there's quite a few. We have a particularly large selection of teas and coffees with different flavors. Our confections and pastries are also popular, especially the pies and cakes. I'm fond of the carrot cake, myself." Perhaps a bit on the nose considering her long bunny ears that twitched curiously.

She paid no mind to his hair, having seen her fair share of interesting customers. Lifting a hand up, she tapped a finger against her chin in contemplation. "Though, since the weather has been hot lately, perhaps something refreshing like a lemon and mint iced green tea? Our chocolate banana semifreddo has been a hit so maybe you would enjoy that?"

“Yes,” Tatso confirmed, listening to Tater carefully, mentally noting down her recommendations. He wasn’t exactly hungry, just more thirsty if anything. “You’re right, it is actually quite hot today. So I’ll have a large lemon and mint iced green tea please.”

Deciding on the order, he looked around the place while waiting. It seemed friendly and lively enough, and he doubted the food and drinks were bad either, it was likely he would come back again for a pick-me-up at some point later.

"Thanks!" Tatso was happy with the service, and that he didn't cause too much of a fuss by rushing off like he did later. He was grateful, not only did she keep his drink, but she had kept it cold for him too.

"Sorry about that, I appreciate it," he replied. This way he could continue enjoying his drink as if he never left, Tatso would definitely give this place the top rating for the service. Though then again, the place seemed quite popular with all the various people in.

Tatso went to take a seat to finish his drink, checking his watch occasionally. Now his goal was set, he'd stick around here and keep tabs on the abnormality whenever he could spare some time as a time patroller, though to be honest, he looked forward to coming back so he'd have an excuse to try the other drinks.

"Thanks again, I'll definitely be back!" Tatso told Tater with a wave before leaving, this time walking out normally. He lightly chuckled at the cafe sign once more as he glanced back, that punny name definitely made it memorable to him.

"I'm glad you think so! Please do come back whenever you'd like!" It always made her happy when people praised her creations, whether they were drinks or food. Her ears wiggled up and down as a visible indicator while she smiled brightly.

Though, the sound of beeping and his quick exit had her confused, her mouth opening to ask if something was wrong, but he was already gone. "Huh.." She certainly hadn't missed how he flew up right outside the large windows.

Since he had said he would return, Tater had just set his drink in the cooler since she trusted that he would. Even if he didn't, it wouldn't be a major loss with just the one drink.

When he did come back, she gave him a smile and went to retrieve his drink before handing it back over. "Here. I kept it cold for you."

“Thanks!” Tatso took a seat and took the time to look around while he waited, really enjoying the vibe. Once his drink was brought over, he tried some so he could give some quick feedback. “Wow, this really tastes amazing! I’d definitely want come back for more and to try some other flavours.”

The Saiyan was happily drinking until his watch beeped. “The distortion,” he realised as he checked the readings. He’d take his drink with him, but he had a feeling that he’d end up dropping or destroying it.

“Sorry! Could I leave my drink here for a bit? I’ll be right back!” he told Tater before rushing out of the café in a hurry. In his haste, Tatso forgot to keep a low profile and just flew into the sky fast for the shortest route to his destination.

“This residue energy, it’s from an intense battle for sure. Well at least I know where it is now,” Tatso wondered as he hovered over a large crater. “I better go get that drink, I don’t want her effort on my drink to go to waste.”

So he rushed back into the café, entering it sheepishly, a little embarrassed, and hoping his drink was still there.

"Got it! I'll have it out in a minute so go ahead and take a seat anywhere you'd like." She then got to work on making the drink, taking a tall glass and filling it with ice before putting in a few squirts of house-made mint syrup.

Next came the freshly brewed tea, sweetened just enough to not be overwhelming, then it was all stirred together. After placing a sprig of mint on top, she returned to him and handed it over. "Here you go! I hope you enjoy."
