That’s how you learn your Thots from your LOLs, my friend.”
Oddly enough, it isn’t the most out of date conversation at Clamp Cafe. The early afternoons are when bored seniors of both human and humanoid varieties settle down for coffee. The two minotaur-looking monsters seated behind him were morning regulars and as far as humans were concerned, a happy elderly couple. Every so often, a magically unaware parent has to scold their toddlers for asking why the “fuzzy people” smell like cows and have horns. In fact, it’s probably something Sunggyu’s own son would ask if he were there.
