Claire's face fell as she heard that someone had taken her order but at least they enjoyed it! Leo quickly assured her he'd make another one for her as he took her payment. He seemed pretty eager to make this one drink the best he'd ever made. [color=slateblue]"Oh no worries! Please take your time."[/color]Claire stood at the pickup counter while he prepped her order. At the same time, he greeted another customer who she recognized from yesterday. It was the one who charged into the meeting, and out as well. 
Speaking of the meeting, Claire remembered not seeing Leon yesterday. She observed him talk to the customer and offer several items that were violently named and werent listed on the menu. They must've been specials, Claire figured. After giving his customer a few moments, Leo finished her order and added a generous helping of french toast (a sweet surprise!) before offering it to her. 
"A Lion's promise, with side of French toast." He coolly proclaimed. Claire looked up as he approached and her attention was then drawn to his lavender eyes. Eyes that seemed to swirl with power and a certain determination mixed with defiance. His eyes reminded her of a field of lavender which soothed the souls of those suffering. Yet it seemed that this bed of lavender was hiding something benesth the surface. Dark circles were permanently embedded umder his eyes and Leo looked drained but right now there was a certain warmth radiating from his being that welcomed her. They had locked gazes and Claire wasn't sure if he was doing the same searching as she was...
It felt as if the world had slowed down around them. The buzz of voices from all in the cafe turned into faint hums and everything moved in slow motion. 

"I like your eyes." Leo suddenly blurted, his voice very clear compared to the background voices.

[color=slateblue][i]"Huh!?"[/i][/color] Claire's world resumed normal speed. A blush slowly colored her face but a small smile soon formed afterwards. [color=slateblue]"Jeez Leo, that was so lame!"[/color] Claire softly said, giggling to herself. [color=slateblue]"I like your eyes too..."[/color]She replied. As Leon tried to excuse himself, Claire reached out and tapped his arm. [color=slateblue]"Let's talk in a little bit, whenever you're not busy."[/color] she quickly said before grabbing her order and choosing to sit down with Artemis.

[color=slateblue]"Hey. Good morning!"[/color] She greeted Artemis.
