Ruben decided to work around the two girls while they stood in the kitchen and talked about scones and other things. In particular, he didn't like how they kept talking about this person who could come fix the roof since they could have asked him. Though he wasn't in major agony over the conversation, he was just going to go on the roof after his shift and check it out; maybe on his lunch break. 

Glancing at the still dripping roof while it echoed out throughout the kitchen, he knew it was going to bother him all day. Just the noise of water drops hitting the metal over and over again, every few minutes, but he hoped to drown the sound out with it being steady. 

Finally, arriving at the main part of his station, he began to heat the stoves to a proper temperature and prep his workstation. It was going to be easy, like most mornings, since breakfast was not a hard task to do for Ruben who had experience in high-end kitchens. 
He enjoyed the slow pace of a small town and how personal you could be with someone, it was nice and relaxing for him. Over two years being back in Sanctuary, he still couldn't believe he was home and happier here. 

Grabbing pans and utensils, he started to allow the pans to heat up with the stovetop. While things were heating up, he walked over to where his apron hung and began to put it on. 

[b]"I'm going to bake you something special for that. What do you love? Or hate? Fruit? Or something more savory? Roasted tomato and spinach biscotti? Muffins? Three tiered cake?"[/b]

The bolstering domino effect of words caused him to raise a brow since he didn't think he would get such a reaction. [i]Is she getting excited over what I said?[/i] Ruben was in thought while being confused about getting such a reaction, since he didn't think it was such a big deal, but he wasn't looking at the bigger picture in this situation. 

Giving the young woman a side glance while she was bombarding him with questions about his favorite desserts. Before he could answer, Reya's comment seemed to strike him in some way. 

[b]"Thank you again, Emma. I'll call you about that roof guy you have."[/b]

Ruben seemed to stand still as if he froze in time while watching the other girl leave the backroom. Rolling his eyes and began to mumble something to himself while grabbing eggs out of the fridge, "[color=955295]Don't let it go to your head.[/color]" He said to Emma. Seeming to be waking up and getting into his typical mood. 

The women began to wake him up from their talking. He enjoyed their conversations, he would eavesdrop, most of the time, not on purpose. The waitressing counter was right there since Reya and others had to pick up the food he was serving. 

Ruben seemed to shut down in a way before grabbing ingredients for pancakes. He was trying to make himself busy while Reya collected orders for him.
