[i]"Coming right up."[/i] Tomi takes the bill without looking at it and heads back behind the counter.

Over at the sink, Aiko has her hands in the soapy water, working through the cups from her tray. When she notices Kyo still standing there, staring at something across the room, she glances up, follows the line of their gaze, then looks back.

[i]"Yeah, lots of new faces today."[/i]

Behind the counter, Tomi puts the kettle on and gets the grinder going, humming something tuneless under her breath as she works. The smell of fresh-ground beans rises into the room, dark and slightly burnt at the edges. By the time she's done, she's got a paper filter folded into its dripper, settled over Kyo's cup, waiting on the water.
