mapping || tuah & iann
It wasn’t as though there was no good coffee at Stonefruit Inn, or even at his own home; but Iann was out and about so much that he started routinely stopping in Tuah’s bakery-coffee-shop-thing-whatever to grab a cuppa joe whenever he could.
Well, of course there was a good reason for this, of course there was. Tuah was often there, especially with the shop in its infancy, managing and doing owner-things to ensure smooth running. So getting coffee at We Knead Dough had two good things: getting a strong cup of good morning America, and saying hullo to Tuah, Son of Arjuna.
He hadn’t yet had a chance to to the latter this particular day, so he leaned against a counter and drank his coffee, poking idly through a copy of The Bugle as he waited for Tuah to be free.
However, something else got to Iann first.
The front door to the shop jingled, and Iann felt something warm by his knee. And looking down, he saw a dog staring back up at him. It was brown and it had soft eyes, but the long snout and pointed ears did make Iann jump slightly. He’d been a little jumpy around dogs recently...for reasons.
But the dog just looked at him, then dropped what looked like a rolled up piece of vellum at Iann’s boot. Before Iann could say anything, it turned and scampered out the front door, claws clacking on the floor.
Slowly Iann crouched and picked up the vellum (a little wet from doggie drool...yuck) and unfurled it.
“Fuck me...” Iann murmured, his sharp eyes scanning its lined surface.
