The sound of the doorbell goes off as a new face entered, her attire not matching like any other in the area. A blackened dress that flowed with an ethereal swing, and shadowy heels that had a nice clack to every step, hand holding her ears down as she entered.
After recent events she had tried to learn how to enjoy a more tropical setting, but alas her snowy skin and the sun just don't get along. It only made sense right?
The poorly dressed for the area stranger spoke with the barista, speaking so gently and softly you could only see the motion of her lips as she ordered. After which she gave them a partial curtsy before taking a seat, resting herself while listening to the Bossa Nova style music that helped bring about comfortable vibes.
In a short time her order would be done, a small service droid setting her black coffee down in front of her. And as the steam hit her porcelain face, she would take in the smell... Sublime!
Today was planned to be another lazy one, the woman hiding her force for now.
She doubted they knew the name, much less the titles and actions tied to it. Besides, sharing only the first name helped... Ignoring the fact she had a very distinct look about her.
"While it is rather hot outside, I haven't slept in a while... I figure a nice coffee and-"
Her words would be cut off by the same droid as before, placing her breakfast down upon the table.
"And breakfast roll would help, at least until I decide to nap."
While not often, it might be a surprise to learn that she did indeed need to sleep after so long.
"So, out of curiosity... What compelled you to speak with little ole me? Was it perhaps the ears? Has to be, people seem to have an obsession with desiring to touch them for whatever reason."
She jests a bit, trying to help keep a friendly atmosphere despite her deadpan tone.. But at least her voice was as smooth as silk and as gentle as a soft rain.
"Can't say I have ever heard someone describe my features as 'awesome' before, but thank you."
The words were crude, and not something she had ever been told before.. It amused her.
"You enjoy my looks? I always put an emphasis on looking how I desire.. Despite the heat of course. I had tried wearing a bikini at a beach before, unsure how to feel about it.. Mm, anyway. You mentioned a job? Do you work for one of the local companies perhaps?"
She would take a nibble at her food while waiting for Kat to respond, a keen eye could catch a glimpse of her impressive canines.
"An investigator, oh my! I can't say my business here has been anything so serious, just trying to learn and enjoy things I normally wouldn't try. Such as the tropics, where I tend to live and visit are darker places. The only kind of heat I don't care too much about is the kitchen... Dishes are an art, not everyone enjoys the same kinds of art."
Even more so for her.
"Ah, the food. I must say the the level of butter is perfect for a bake such as this, the flake gently brushes the taste buds in a way that helps add a level of comfort."
She sighs, glancing at the investigator.
"Are you okay?"
Adeline asks in a gentle manner, noticing the woman space out a bit and blink a few times.
"It isn't anything serious, more akin to a side passion if I must be honest. I enjoy many kinds of meals, depends on my mood at the time I suppose."
Just like how they found Adeline strange, so to did she found Kat strange. Why were they blushing? They seem to stare a lot, but not in a convicting way, more just fascination. It really was the ears wasn't it?
"If the heat is messing with your vision, perhaps you need a cold water?"
They didn't seem to be sweating all too bad, and the cooler air inside the shop should stabilize the heat... She recognized the lie, but in her time figuring out people she figured this to be a lie made not to hide malicious intent.
"I must also say your outfit is also lovely, have you ever thought about taking a nice tropics flower and placing it behind the ear?"
"What gets anyone into a hobby? A healthy dose of curiosity and boredom of course, first it was simple dishes... Then it became exotic banquets at lavish gatherings."
She of course takes the water, setting the cup on the table.
"Buy? Why not go on a search for one outside? The beachfront seemed to be home to all sorts of wildlife, perhaps it would feel more special to find the right one? Hm, or perhaps I can help with that investigation?"
The stranger asks, smiling a little as she slipped on her water.
