Travis loved the mid-day shifts at the cafe. After the rushes were a sweet spot. Those slower pace hours gave him a chance to interact more with customers without a scolding from his manager. Working in the food industry was hardly his passion but he loved talking to people and getting to know the regulars. The social aspect is where he shined, craving the conversation. "There you are," he smiled at the familiar face as they came up to the counter. "Thought I was going to leave my shift severely disappointed. But I should have known you wouldn't want to miss out on another chance to see me."

"I don't know how people wear eyeliner all the time," Darrius groused, squinting to see his reflection in the mirror across the bar, before turning to the person next to him, pursing his lips and gesturing up to his face, where black eyeliner had smudged just below his eye. "Be honest, does this look bad, or is this what the kids looked like back in the day? Am I doing it right?"

"I'm gonna level with you in the fact that I may not be your expert source here when it comes to those times. I think I was in kindergarten when most of these songs came out," Travis gave him a cheeky smile. "But I don't think that should take away from the fact that I also have impeccable taste, which leads to me saying that you are absolutely killing it in that eyeliner, my friend. Personally, think if you had a pirate-like, Sparrow vibe going it would really take you up a level but really think should consider not retiring this look."
