location: somewhere in downtown moorbrooke
how charming. ezra thought to himself as he walked down one of the sidewalks of moorbooke’s downtown area, the quiet little town of moorbrooke had begun to grow on him a bit, and it had only been two weeks since his arrival. as he passed a group of kids who were arguing over what ice cream flavor was the best one shouts to him ‘hey mister! mint choco chip or chocolate?’ to which ezra lightly laughed and responded ‘rocky road’ sending the kids into a whole other debate on rocky road versus s’mores flavored ice cream. it was the innocence of the town that really stood out to him. he had never been to a place that had almost an angelic feeling to it, but moorbrooke shined brightly. it intrigued him because he wondered, what secrets could a town like this have?
as his thoughts began to drift off into the realm of possibilities someone drops their wallet as they walk by him. his attention strays to the fallen item, quickly he bends down to pick it up for them. “excuse me?” he calls out, casually walking up to the individual, holding out the wallet, “you dropped this.” he offers a charming smile as he hands the wallet over, “maybe you can help me out as well,” ezra begins, “i’m new to town, you see, and i was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the best coffee here. you would be a real life saver.”
For as small as this town was, you’d think that one would stop and visit the downtown area on a near daily business, but the truth was, that, other than his cooking gig over at Infusion, Gideon rarely found a reason to mosey about town. That said, he’s lived nearly his entire life here in good ol’ Moorbrooke, and had spent more than enough time in his youth running around town with his cousin and their friends, so he figured that more than made up for his lack of interest in anything the town had to offer these days. Today was a rare day, in which he found himself venturing into town, in order to pick up a few things for his sister down at the market and Zehrs - he owed her a few favors, he reckoned, so it was the least he could do. The sun was beaming down on him as he walked, his intensely blue eyes squinting due to the sensitivity to how bright it was, and he was mentally cursing himself for thinking that walking, especially in this heat, had been the smartest choice. Or just forgetting to bring a pair of sunglasses, at the very least. With his first stop in sight, Gideon sighed and hurried his steps...only to pause mid-trek when he heard the call for his attention.
He frowned at the sight of his wallet, and shook his head at his stupidity. “Oh, shit...Thanks, man,” he sighed, grateful that other hadn’t simply stollen the damn thing. Not that there was much in there to steal to begin with, but it was the principle of the thing. “Can’t exactly get the things I’m after without that, huh?” he tried for a wry side smile, and nodded slowly at the request. “Well...uh, I don’t know about it being the best place, necessarily - as a non-coffee drinker, I can’t exactly confirm that claim - but there’s Delia’s, just around the corner from here; It seems to be a fairly popular place to get a cup o’ coffee.”
