Morning rituals were important for Aoki. She would wake up early in the morning, just before sunrise, to run around town, get home around 6 am for some yoga, and get ready for her regular coffee and bagel in the local cafe. This change of pace had been easy for her to adapt to. From noisy mornings full of shouting, honking, and the packed busses to a run in the morning and still have enough time to treat herself for breakfast in a lovely homey cafe. One could say Aoki was living the dream. 

Partly anyway. 

Aoki was still very much a stranger in Sanctuary, a pretty conservative town at that. A girl with bleached hair and eyebrows walking around with arms covered in tattoos wasn't something you see very often in these types of town. Still, she did everything to act friendly around the locals, always buying from the local stores and markets, offering help whenever she could. It had started to work; the people in the Cosy Bear Cafe already knew what to expect when she walked through their door around 8 in the morning. 

[color=lightsteelblue]"A large green tea latte, iced and a cinnamon bagel with cream cheese, please."[/color] That was her usual order, sometimes she would replace the bagel for a coffee cake or another type of bread, but today was a bagel type day. 

Aoki shook off her coat and pulled the laptop, sketchbook, and phone from her bag while she waited for her order. She usually spent around two hours inside the coffee replying to emails, sketching new ideas for tattoos, or just browsing the web before leaving for the shop. But since today's weather looked like it wasn't going to clear out anytime, she decided to take the day off from working on her shop and decided to spend some of it in town. 

She could take the time to meet a few more of the locals, maybe visit the Tavern later on and drop by the market for a few more vegetables.
