>>Still in the coffee shop, interacting with the gathering crowd. Perhaps a timely phone call to Joel.[@Pilatus][@SamaraJayne96][@PrinceAlexus]
[hr]

Ryan held his gaze a moment longer than he really should have. Its just the morning grey-ness seemed to have been illuminated by the girl's red hair. Its as if the hair is telling you not to stare at it. What does one do when told not to do something? In Ryan's case, he most likely goes on and does the thing.

While waiting, he noticed a familiar figure walk in as well. Small smile curved his lips. Surely by now Vika knows that he isn't the person he said he was. Having won the impromptu cooking competition during the festival. There was no sense keeping who he is from Vika any longer anyways. Should she approach him with questions, Ryan would answer truthfully. For now, while in line to order his morning cuppa joe, Ryan simply offered a small bow and smiled, if Vika would look his way and notice.

[i][color=00aeef]"Of course she has a Bentley. I think I'll go give Nicolosi a call when I get my coffee and sit down...I wonder what he was up to after the festival. Probably in a garage pounding something....[/color][/i] He thought to himself.

The metallic 'clank' brought him back to reality. [color=00aeef]"Oh. Uh. Hm. I think I'll have a large Chai. Thank you. Oh and a buttered croissant, please."[/color] Ryan said to the man taking his order. This man looked remarkably similar to the red-haired girl sitting in the corner.[i] [color=00aeef]"They're probably related somehow...Interesting." He thought to himself.

As he finished his order, the man in front of him had to excuse himself, as there was some commotion in a different part of the cafe. Ryan waiting for the man to return, credit card in hand and ready to pay. He idly looked at his phone, swiping through Instagram, noticing the various travel ads. [i][color=00aeef]"Hm. I should take a trip somewhere. The slower season is coming anyways... I wonder if I can find anyone to come with...Hmmmm....."[/color][/i] He thought to himself.

As soon as the man returned, Ryan paid for his items and walked away, looking for a quiet spot. He would brush past Vika, offering a soft [color=00aeef]"Good morning Vika, fancy seeing you here."[/color] Before nodding once softly and continuing his search for a decent spot. He found one, close to where the red-haired girl was sitting but not close enough to be bothersome. He put his hand up and offered a small wave before quietly sitting down and waited for his items to be ready.
