[color=purple]"Do my ears deceive me ladies, but are you talking about my niece? What has she done this time?"[/color] Marco was well aware that Leandra had no friends in the Praetors after her many vocal objections, but hearing that this time was about budget cuts over the lives of everyone else in the camp made him wince. Marco was aware of what the word priorities meant... and sometimes budgets fell by the wayside when quests came up.

[color=purple]"Well if coffee is what you lovely ladies need, I'll get right on it. Hot cocoa for Madalyne, the usual but on ice for Nancy and the usual for Niah on ice. Got it."[/color] Marco put the payment that Nancy gave into the drawer, gave her any needed change before turning away to work a different sort of magic.

He started with the hot cocoa first, as the milk needed to be steamed, so he filled the little silver pitcher and put it under the foamer. Then he started up the triple shots of espresso for Nancy. Thankfully Niah's drink would be the easiest, as he pulled out the milk and the chai concentrate he had made fresh that morning. Two cups full of ice were put off to the side, and one of them got pumps of the delicious caramel syrup, and the paper hot cup got several pumps of the rich chocolate that Marco had fought the budget for at the coffee shop.

After several moments, he was gently serving up the hot cocoa with a generous amount of whipped cream and topped with some cinnamon on it towards Madalyne, Nancy's iced extra caffeinated and extra sweet caramel macciatio towards her, and Niah's iced chai with plenty of spices in it.
