Alice hummed lightly as she got the coffees, silently handing them out. [Color=00aeef]"I've spent months perfecting my coffee. I'm incredibly picky about the grounds I use, even the sugar. I do hope I haven't boasted too much in calling it The best of Ward 8,"[/color] she said once she was back behind the counter. Looking at Katashi at the counter, she propped herself up on the counter by the elbows. [Color=00aeef]"The name's Alice, for the record."[/color]

Looking back at the unnamed man, she flashed a smile. [Color=00aeef]"And see, I have a clear view of the window. Plus, I mean, it's not like we're discussing anything out of the ordinary, now are we? Just little ol' me and two customers discussing the news, eh?"[/color] she said in an almost dismissive tone. Perhaps it was a trick of her singsong voice? [Color=00aeef]"I was just wondering what you two thought of the rumors swirling about a group of nonviolent Ghouls over in the 20th Ward? Supposedly, if you believe the talk, there's very little violence over there because of it. They coexist fairly well, and they protect each other and everyone else they can. I personally think it's an [I] excellent [/I] idea, and wish more could do something like that. Perhaps even a simple Cafe owner like myself could do something like that, if there was enough support running around."[/color]
