[i]Leo the Lion?[/i] Claire silently read his nametag before looking back up to him, making eye contact as he greeted her and repeated the order, somehow stammering in the process. Claire raised her eyebrows in slight amusement, but paid no mind at all.
[color=slateblue]"Yup,"[/color] She nodded, [color=slateblue]"I just had a small craving this morning. [i]Just a tad bit, Mr. Lion.[/i]"[/color]  She smoothly said as she took the receipt from him and then proceeded to dig through her wallet for a five dollar bill. [i]Mr. Lion[/i] then talked about how the morning was chilly then how some were stranger than others and that gave Claire pause for a brief moment. The morning didn't feel that cold to her but it definitely landed at the top of the list of one of her stranger mornings of all time.
[color=slateblue]"Oh it didn't feel very chilly at all, it felt more of a pleasant temperature to me. But it did start off in a weird way though..."[/color] Claire shrugged. Suddenly, the barista excused himself and was drawn away to help a customer with a spilled drink, which was a shame as she was interested to hear why exactly he had brought that up. She cringed as she watched him burn himself on the scaldingly hot brown liquid on the table. It then clicked in her mind that she had seen him before.
[i][color=slateblue]Wait...I think I might've seen him around at the university. I think we might've passed each other on campus a couple times before but just never talked or even acknowledged each other.[/color][/i] She thought to herself, glancing at him. [i][color=slateblue]I'll make sure to say something to him next time...[/color][/i]

Claire paid for her frappucino and brought it to a table next to two gentlemen in a deep discussion, silently savoring the chilly beverage. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the [i]heated[/i] scene taking place at the other end of the cafe. Claire could practically feel..no, [b]sense[/b] the enormous volume of heat emanating from the girl as she took matters into her own hands albeit, in a rather rude manner. Claire's eyes were full of disapproval at the girl's antics and she frowned at the sight. [color=slateblue][i]Oh, he was just trying to help! No need to be so snarky about it, let him do his job.[/i][/color] However, she wasn't quite able to capture the exchange of words between the two of them.

[b][color=92278f]"Hello~....Room for one more?"[/color][/b]

Her attention was briefly diverted to a brunette who had seated herself at the table with the two gentlemen. The cafe was crowded this morning and it seemed that open seats were gradually being occupied as each customer appeared. She observed the girl, but kept tabs on the goth several tables away.
