"You didn't seem to me like someone that would turn the chance down," Hanekoma said flatly, sliding Ate'lier's order to him. "I haven't had a great couple'a days, it's true. Nothing I won't recover from."

Eventually, though he didn't say that part. Being kicked while he was down seemed like the perfect description of how Hazelnut had come into his home and broken him down the way he had. Even thinking about the whole affair made his chest feel heavy, and he wanted to leave the shop, close up and rot away in his bed.

But the world continued to turn no matter how he felt, and he knew it would do him no good to cry now. And he had a job to do.

"But it seems I'm not the only one having a bad time," he continued, passing off the weight on himself. "What's got your week so cursed?"

❝ what kind of coffee do you like?  ❞ it's dorian's familiar, though today he's in the shape of a man instead of a white forest cat. his skintones a warm tan with dark freckles across the bridge of his nose, but the hair colour is the same as his fur was; that platinum with a blue undertone. dorian wasn't here today, but that didn't seem to bother the at'elier, much if at all. ❝  your partner makes coffee, right? dorian usually just drinks chai. i don't usually get coffee, but when i do, it never tastes right. i had something once that was really good, but i can't remember what it was called or anything beyond the fact it was a muddied pink. it was definitely coffee. ❞

What an interesting creature, is Joshua's first impression of the wintry-looking man. He'd only ever seen him in his fluffy feline form, and even then he hadn't the chance to personally engage with him, but his human features had been detailed to him. The description in his head couldn't do the real thing justice. He's quite resplendent if he were to put a single word to his appearance. Comely in a similar way to Dorian, which makes sense given their relation, and they come as a pair. Or was it a trio? Merlin was an unforgettable name. but Joshua hadn't caught up to the latest chapters in these folks' story.

❝ The only thing I can think that's pink is Dalgona coffee, but it's made with instant coffee so I didn't go anywhere near that trend. ❞

He's propped up against the counter braced on an elbow, ankles crossed, transferring his phone to his back pocket. His gaze sat steady on the face whose freckles he was subtly counting.

❝ He does. He's the best in this city, and I promise I am not speaking from bias. ❞ That blonde head slowly tilted.

❝ At'elier? Am I pronouncing that right? ❞

A grin split wide over his face,"I might be wasting my breath, but that's really not so bad. Because I'm wasting my breath, my time, and more importantly, your time. And I know that's gotta be pissing you off. Any chance I can get to get under your skin is a win in my book."
