@nate--paddon
Famed…Yes. One of the Calahan’s …yes… Tall..Blonde.. Handsome.. yes all of the above. as for me being the talkative one. Depends …
Depends? Lemme guess... A meager coffee shop owner's gotta earn a guy like you talkin' more to him?
Good Evening…..
Not one for a lot of speakin' are ya?
Nate Paddon. Pleasure to finally see one of the famed Calahans. You are one of the Calahans, no? Blonde, tall and handsome, looks like they personify confidence?
Hmm.. New people….
Evenin'.
To be fair, I’m wound up like an eight day clock, so I ain’t completely you but I ain’t in the mood to be hearin’ some boy’s smart mouthin’, but we’re past that now and we’re good.
I know what you mean. I wasn’t exactly lookin’ forward to all the Yankee slime but I see there’s promise.
Well, excellent then. I'm glad we can get past it.
Where you from in the sunshine state? Everglades? Pan handle? Miami?
Chill out… Y’know, you’re already walkin’ a fine line. I know all about Southern hospitality. You ain’t tellin’ me nothin’ I don’t know, young one.
Nathaniel from Tennessee. Nice to see there’s some Southern roots ‘round here.
Well, damn. That's not a line I ever like to walk, a coupla minutes after meeting someone. Sorry 'bout that.
It's nice to finally see another southern face, that's for damn sure. It was gettin' stuffy with all the damn yanks around.
Don’t you darlin’ me. I’m positive I ain’t seen you a day in my life before so I’m pretty sure I ain’t your darlin’. My name is Roman and you will delight in callin’ me that.
Now that that’s outta the way, I come from Florida.
It's something I call everyone. As a business owner... Being nice comes along with the job. I'll stop. Chill out.
Nathaniel. 'm from Tennessee.
I ain’t sure yet if this town is better than where we came from but ain’t nothin’ better than a fresh start.
Depends on where you're comin' from.
No, at least I assume you are not. Nice to meet you, Nathaniel Paddon… I’m Isaac Rowley.
Pleasure, Isaac.
And what is it that you do around town?
If either of those are correct, I would assume it’s the latter… To be fair, I was gone for two months until I returned a few weeks ago.
Ah, okay. So I'm not going crazy. That's good.
Nathaniel Paddon, at your service.
Don’t mention it.
You new around town?
Or am I not paying attention again?

"Thanks."
[Maxxie sighed a little, trying to shake the sadness that was creeping in] Yeah, well, I have no choice really but to learn how to do it, I guess I’m lucky I still have the staff, it’s not the same though because I pay them to be around… [blinking at the question, the professor needs a moment to process it, after all, he’s a regular customer] Uhm… the same as always.. a vanilla latte with whipped cream….
Well, either way... You'll get through whatever loneliness is bothering you, I'm sure of it. Vanilla latte? Hm... Not one people normally order...Wait. [Nate turns back to the man, studying his features before it hits him.] Max! God, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you sooner. Jesus. You dyed your hair. I like it. One vanilla latte with whipped cream comin' up!
[Maxxie blushes at the endearment, stepping closer to the counter] Well, it feels lonely at the lodge now, and I’m not used to sleeping alone… I guess I’ll just need some time to get used to it… [he shrugs softly, giving a small smile]
[Nate listens to the man, nodding in understanding; his work never ceasing.] Getting used to being on your own is hard. I understand how it feels. So what'll ya have?
[Maxxie smiles a little at the concern shown for him, shaking his head] No, I’m alright.. [he glances up at the man, recognizing the owner of the coffee shop] I do guess it’s a little early, but I couldn’t sleep…
[Nate smiles, nodding courteously.] Well, good. I'd feel bad if I hurt any of my customers. Ah, you couldn't sleep. That's understandable. [He says, stepping behind the counter.] Anything botherin' you darlin'?
[Maxxie startled when he bumped into the stranger, almost losing balance, but luckily the man he had walked into caught him before he could] No, I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention where I was walking… [Maxxie mumbled, blushing a little, not able to look the man in the eyes]
[Nate shakes his head, smiling and chuckling a little bit.] It isn't your fault. I should be ready for customers to come in early. You aren't hurt, are you? [Nate asks, concernedly checking to see if the man was indeed okay.]
[enters Squire’s lost in thought, not noticing where he’s walking until he bumps into someone]
[Nate wasn't paying attention where he was going, not expecting someone to be here this early, but he somehow managed to bump into someone.] Jesus... Fuck. I'm sorry. [He said, catching the man in front of him]
