[color=6ecff6] "Hey, Shizuka, I feel like I've seen you somewhere else. What else do you do besides work here?" [/color] Al suddenly asked the dark haired waitress, trying to make some small talk.

His blue eyes flew up to her, full of curiosity. He was fairly sure he'd seen her at school, but he didn't want to assume. For all he knew, he might just be mistaking her for someone else. 

[color=6ecff6] "Also, this espresso isn't half bad. I usually drink tea though. It's what helps me relax." [/color] he inquired.

[color=a187be]"I'm a veterinary science student at Shine City Academy,"[/color] Shizuka replied, [color=a187be]"I'm also a teaching assistant for Dr. Matsuoka in Biology.  I'm glad you're enjoying the coffee.  I'm also a tea person myself; we do serve tea here, maybe you can try some next time you come."[/color]  Shizuka added that last bit since part of her job is encouraging customers to return.

[color=a187be]"Welcome to the Shining Kettle,"[/color] Shizuka greeted as Amity twirled into the cafe and sat at a table near Alban's.  Soon after, Copen also entered, Shizuka greeted him in the same manner, but when he ordered his coffee, winked at her, and proceeded to run his fingers into Amity's hair, Shizuka was at a slight loss for words.  Then Amity ordered her extravagant drink, making Shizuka thankful that she didn't have to make the coffee.  [color=a187be]"I-I'll have your orders out soon,"[/color] Shizuka said as she excused herself from Amity and Copen.  After handing the order to the barista, Shizuka took a quick breather in the back near the kitchen to text Nick a reply, [color=a187be]"I'm worried that I might have offended you in some way; after we parted last time, you seemed unhappy.  I just want to clear things up."[/color]  Shizuka wondered if he was alright, having no idea the situation that Nick was in.

"Hehe, business is good today," the barista behind the counter chuckled to no one in particular as he began preparing the coffees that Copen and Amity had ordered.

Shizuka soon returned to the front and brought Amity and Copen their coffees.
