Amelia, preoccupied with straightening the curtains, inspecting her employees' outfits, and giving a hurried thumbs-up to March in response to his question, doesn't notice Mari's appearance. That is, until she hears the tell-tale sound of somebody hitting the floor. (What does she mean by "tell-tale", you ask? It's not important right now.) Rushing over to help the girl pick herself up from off the floor, she peers both curiously and worriedly at Mari, then pulls a handkerchief out of her pocket.

"That looked pretty nasty, are you alright?" she asks, holding the handkerchief out for Mari to take. "If you're here to apply, then you can head right over to..." Scanning the room, Amelia lands on Minkyu's face, who is currently busy preparing two lattes for Naomi and March. A lightbulb comes on over Amelia's head. "...Minkyu! He's our barista, but he'll be happy to help you!" Please forgive me for my betrayal, brother, she says silently, as Minkyu turns to glare at her. I have many important things to do. Also, you need to get out more.

"Hey, everyone, listen up!" Raising her voice, Amelia addresses her employees; a glance at the clock tells her it's less than ten minutes until opening, and they have several dedicated breakfast customers. "Café Crème is going to open very soon, so get to work! Make this place look inviting as possible, okay?"

Adjusting the pink cat ears on top of her head, Amelia engages in a silent conversation with Minkyu by pointing at her own head until her brother gets the hint and pulls out his own coffee-colored pair of fake ears. He hates putting them on, but Amelia insists because it's part of the theme, Minkyu! Don't you want to get into the theme?, to which he would probably just say no. But she insists!

"Jet, put a smile on your face! Megan, you'll be working waitress for a while, alright? March, don't forget about our "special omelet special!"

And remember, everyone... Café Crème puts the "Purr" in "Purrfect!"

---

"I'd like... Breakfast Set A, with a cup of Rose Hip tea."

"Of course! That's a purrfect choice~ I'll be back soon with your order, nya!" Flouncing from table to table with confidence and cuteness, Amelia the catmaid takes orders and pours teas with a practiced hand, while also keeping an eye on her coworkers! What style! What grace! And of course, the other maids at Café Crème aren't lacking in charm themselves! How each employee acts is all part of the act, and what a delightful act it is! As maid cafés go, this is one of the best!

"Excuse me... Excuse me, can I get the butler to serve me...?"

"Yes, of course!"

Minkyu better get back from interviewing soon... Amelia thinks, stopping to lick some cream off her wrist while she retrieves a pot of coffee. Hopefully Naomi can take care of any detailed orders! Today, the work at Café Crème is going on as usual, and Amelia suspects they won't hit rush hour until after noon. It's alright; most of their customers prefer a snack after work or lunch after a lecture.

"Jet, this customer wants to see you~ Make me proud!"

Being presented with not one, but two orders of coffees from his own coworkers leaves Minkyu a little flustered, so he ducks his head and nods instead of responding verbally. While content with his job as a barista, it's times like these that he gets a little jealous of Amelia and her supernatural socialization skills -- and wants to hide behind her, like he did as a kid.

But that was then! And Minkyu is an adult now, so he can definitely hold his own against the two (2) employees eagerly awaiting their lattes! Filled with new determination, the barista begins the process of steaming the milk for the lattes. The expresso machine, lovingly nicknamed "Buzz" by Amelia, is a fairly old piece of equipment, but Minkyu cleans it at the end of every work day with utmost respect, so it runs just fine. Making the lattes is easy; one shot of expresso, a layer of steamed milk, and the final touch--a small, simplified drawing of a cat, drawn right on the foam with a stirring stick. It's not the best Minkyu can do, but it's fast.

"They're done," Minkyu announces, setting the two lattes on the counter and pushing them forward. "Enjoy."

"Great! Now you can interview this new prospect!"

Minkyu almost chokes. Not only has Amelia appeared instantaneously beside him, she wants him to talk to people!? Did she not get the I-only-want-to-make-coffee memo? Adopting the expression of a wounded kitten, Minkyu gives her his best "can I not?" look, but Amelia is undeterred. She just claps him on the back and tells him telepathically to "get over it and do your part." Thanks, sis. Unfortunately for Minkyu, he doesn't want to whine in front of the whole store, so he has to oblige.

"We can talk in the back room," he tells Mari quietly, pointing towards a door at the back of the café. "If, um, that's okay with you...?"

"None of you are late," Minkyu mumbles, tone less flat and more nervous at the arrival of the various other persons, persons that are less familiar and therefore more frightening to the quiet barista. "Ami--Amelia just jumped the gun."

"Yeah, you guys are fine," Amelia says, pulling out supplies from under the cashier counter and handing them out at random to the employees present. Shoving a broom in March's hands, she scolds Jet like a child, pulling him by the ear away from the display case. "And don't touch those sweets! Megan and I worked very hard on them last night, and they're not for you!"

Looking at the kitten Megan brought in with an undefinable expression, Minkyu stares at the animal for a few seconds before reaching out to pet it. The corners of his mouth turn up--that is, the closest Minkyu ever gets to smiling.

"Animals are a health hazard," he responds, and Amelia nods in agreement.

"Yeah, the rules are REALLY tight about food being served in cat cafés, or else this place would definitely have cute lil' kittens running around. We don't have enough space for a layout that... has... all that stuff." Amelia sighs, scratching the kitten under its chin. "It's so cute, though. Are you gonna adopt it? Or we can--"

"We cannot take it," Minkyu cuts in, firmly, with a tone that suggests this has been talked about before. "We do not have the space. And you would not take care of it."

"You don't know that!" Amelia sticks her tongue out at Minkyu, who rolls his eyes. "Anyway, we could probably make a mascot or something! Like, take photos and put them on the menus and posters! It would be adorable, wouldn't it?"

"As long as it's not in the kitchen." Minkyu looks rather sadly at the kitten, then turns away. "Keep it out front on the patio. Maybe it'll attract customers." With that, he exits the conversation to focus on brewing today's coffee. And to put on some cat ears.
