[i][color=bc8dbf]Kotomaid[/color][/i] - [u]An Invisible Songbird[/u]

Having gotten into the swing of things after taking the order of a few patrons who had stared creepily a little bit longer than she would've liked, the little Songbird settled into a steady stride. Taking orders, making some of them or having the order put onto the wheel for the cooks to make pastries or something of the sort; and then of course delivering them. Slowly, she gained the eventual grace that caused drinks, beverages and various sweets of the breaded type to smoothly slide onto the table in front of captivated customers. 

Walking back behind a counter, Kotori nearly jumped out of her skin with the presence of a familiar voice. Turning sharply to see none other than the violinist, the waitress actually smiled warmly at her request. Though her request was truly peculiar, particularly the fact that she wanted a cup of full Espresso. A bit strong in terms of caffeine, but then again everyone has their respective tastes; Kotori would not be one to question them.

So to the coffee making machine she went, her fingertips nimbly pressing a series of buttons much akin to how she so wonderfully played the piano. Soon after, she traced a leafy pattern of foam into the drink artfully; and gingerly carried it to Aria. 

[color=bc8dbf]"Here you go, as a first time customer it's on the house!"[/color] The waitress trapped in a maid's garb exclaimed warmly. 

Settling the warm drink in front of the violinist, the little Songbird offered her a slight smile that suddenly faded as Aria extended her hand outward with the bento box. The one that had been destined for the giant. Slender fingertips lightly plucked up the box and she gently took it from Aria as the weight of it told her all too easily that it had been untouched. Dismayed slightly by this, Kotori bent to the side to place the box into a small fridge beneath the counter for later.

Hopefully the food hadn't spoiled already. 

[color=bc8dbf]"Well thank you for returning it to me, Aria-chan."[/color] The pianist stated softly to the violinist, pausing for a moment as the bell tied to the door announced the arrival of another patron or two. Glancing up to see who arrived from behind the station where the various breads and sweets were displayed so appetizingly, Kotori's eyes widened slightly in a mixture of surprise and fear.

The Iron Giant and Artist had arrived and sat at a table. One of the tables she was assigned to cater towards. Thankfully it seemed that she hadn't been noticed quite yet, and she was allowed an anxious glance between herself and Aria. 

In her mind, an eternity passed and she swallowed the knot that had been growing so quickly in her throat. She was at work, she couldn't run, she couldn't hide, a few hastened breaths eventually slowed into deeper ones as she offered an apologetic nod to Aria and stepped from behind the counter. Intentionally, or perhaps even unintentionally remaining out of Sasaki's range of peripheral sight as she walked up to the table where the two boys sat.

What she vainly strove to fight but simply couldn't was the horribly embarrassed blush that crept up on her cheeks. The Iron Giant and Artist were going to see her in clothes as ridiculous as this? In her mind, she cursed Ria's stubbornness towards dressing the little Songbird in such revealing outfits, but even then she lightly folded her hands in front of her as she held tightly onto her notepad for taking orders.

[color=bc8dbf]"W-Welcome to M-Mocha Dreams, Kirima-san and A-Artist-kun."[/color] The little songbird softly stated bashfully. [color=bc8dbf]"How c-can I serve y-you t-t-today?"[/color]
