Two fresh scones sit on a plate next to Pascal as he sips some hot tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices Russell come in, and he smiles warmly at him.
“Oh, good morning! I don’t think I saw you last night when I arrived here from Doublecross,” he says cheerfully. Then, he glances down at his plate, picks up one scone for himself, and then holds the plate out to Russell.
“Have you had breakfast yet? Take this, it’s blackberry lemon.”
Russell had managed to get an early run in. He had come back to grab his usual coffee. That was often enough for him.
He nearly jumped when he realised someone new was here. He then managed to smile back.
“Morning, ehe, sorry, I was in my own mind for a moment there,” he said. This new guy seemed nice enough, before he looks curious, “Oh, Doublecross, I’ve been there a couple times. Yeah, I was probably out at that time.”
“Are you sure, dude? It’s your food and I wouldn’t wanna just like, take it if you need both.”
He has to admit, they do smell and look nice. But he had to make sure it was really okay.
