As a rabid coffee-enjoyer, Éliane was happy to see at least one other person in the group liked the beverage that they had ordered from the café. With her own coffee in hand, she had just started to enjoy its rich, foreign flavor –it was quite good, at least to her standards—that her valuable and important coffee time was interrupted and spoiled by a very rude man. At first, she gave him the stinkeye when he dropped his mug, but she actively began to scowl when he began to yell and completely ruin the peaceful café time that she was having. 

Unacceptable. 

[b]“Interrupt the most sacred time of the day, will you,” [/b]she muttered, as the man ran from the shop. [b]“You bastard! Get back here!”[/b] A moment later, and the redheaded gunbreaker followed, looking agitated enough that it was quite likely she was literally going to beat up the man in an alleyway for the disturbance.

When Éliane returned to the party some hours later at the Caradoc lodge, she looked suspiciously guilty of having administered a beatdown for disturbing the peace. Nonetheless, despite her slightly ruffled state, she was carrying a few small sacks of what was obviously coffee beans. 

Ignoring the obvious byplay between the servant and Izayoi, she asked [b]“Could you see us to our lodgings beforehand? It would be a good idea for us to freshen up,”[/b] she hinted.
