Figure some of you might be wondering what the fuck happened to the espresso machine.

Well, I like at least one of you, so I’m willing to share the scoop.

Astarion the Victorian orphan trapped in a grown man’s body and some blond guy I haven’t seen around before broke the damn thing trying to lift it. Literally and figuratively. Dropped it a few feet from the door in the middle of grand theft bean.

I gathered anyone missing their fix would appreciate the heads up. You see Astarion or that tentacle-wielding lug around, be sure to thank em for making mornings more interesting. I’d like to personally extend my thanks to blondie, too, so if you know who around here can do that kind of kraken shit, don't be shy.

And if you think they’re just gonna replace the machine, you’re dead wrong. Bennet put up a cute little “pardon our mess” card, so we’re SOL. What's a girl to do?

[ He has. Learned a lot more about Winter since that conversation... ]

A history huh
What kind of history?

[airdnd]

[ He sure has, hasn't he... ]

We've known each other for longer than a week or two. 🙂

[unliminal]

[ he is, once again, the iCarly meme, ]

I see
I'll have to be careful what I tell him from now on

[ He won't. ]

[airdnd]

Well. Whatever you two talk about is between you, truly.

[ oh Sumina, if only you knew... ]

It's not like we tell each other everything, mind you! I'm simply saying that in this particular case, perhaps he thought the benefit of telling me outweighs that of keeping your confidence!

[unliminal]

The benefits of ratting me out, you mean!
Are you mad?

[ Truthfully, she isn't. She's annoyed to have been inconvenienced, sure, but ultimately this is just the kind of chaos that should really be expected of a place like this. But... since she's feeling a little cranky because she hasn't!! had her coffee...!!!

She responds: ]

Yes, I am.

[unliminal]

They weren't supposed to break it you know
I was going to put it right back when I got it!

[ Probably. ]

[airdnd]

Couldn't you have asked them to steal something more non-essential?

[unliminal]

It was just the first thing that popped into my head!
Probably because it gets used so much lol
I'll be more judicious the next time someone offers to steal something for me

[airdnd]

They... offered to steal for you?

[ hang on, she thought he asked them first. these men!!! ]

You're the one that introduced me to espresso, Mister Satoru. You ought to take responsibility for the fact that I cannot so easily get some, now.

[unliminal]

Astarion offered to steal something for me if I helped him back to his room
I lend a hand in someone's time and need and look what happens!

If it helps
I could deliver some to you from our cafe
Our super special secret cafe :3

[airdnd]

[ oh my god. Who offers to steal something in exchange for being helped back to his room?

Wait, no. She knows who. Professional thieves. Even hobbyist thieves. She knows that very well.

In any case, now her head is really hurting, so. She's gonna leave him on read ✨ ]
