Where: Various shops
Summary: Trying to pick up tea and coffee stuff for the cafe/cover story

"Thanks for coming with me," Yui says to Gladion. "I really have no idea what to look for in coffee. I only know tea."

She is looking at a couple of tea kettles, though, checking prices.

He replies with a slight nod.

"My dad," the fake one, "drinks it all the time, so I know a little." Really it's only because of his false life here that he has any idea himself. Tea, on the other hand, he's happy to leave to her.

[mirrors_wish]

She gives a slight smile. "My aunt can't stand the stuff. The first time my friend's boss came by and asked for coffee, I thought she was going to kick him out."

[lovelledup]

It's a little bit funny to imagine, even without knowing the people involved. Not that it shows on his face.

"I don't really like either of them myself." He's been told he's too young to drink coffee, too, and he'd probably rebel against that except from the few times he's tasted it he thought it was pretty awful.

He reaches over to the nearby shelf and picks up a box of coffee filters. "I think these fit the machines we have."

[mirrors_wish]

"Tea's pretty good. It depends on how strong you like it, though. That's probably the same about coffee, too."

She looks at the filters and nods. "I think so. It looks like it, at least."

[lovelledup]

He nods slightly. "I guess it's sort of funny to be working at a cafe when I don't really like coffee or tea." He grabs a second box of the filters and drops them into their basket. "Though that's not the reason, anyway."

He's careful with choosing his words, to make it sound like he has other reasons for working there, not that it isn't really the reason for the cafe itself existing. They're in a public place, so they could be overheard.

[mirrors_wish]

She nods, just to show that she understands, without saying anything that might be overheard.

"That reminds me, though. We'll need honey, but I'm not sure which type."

With all of the different flowers in Eddan, there's several varieties on sale, and for once, Yui isn't sure what to suggest regarding tea.

"I usually drink my tea straight, so I don't know what might be best, or if we should stick to a particular theme..."

[lovelledup]

He's glad she's smart enough to not turn that into something that would give them away.

He looks over the many varieties of honey available on the shelf. He doesn't even recall tasting half of them, much less has any idea what would go well with tea or coffee. He shrugs.

"I don't know, either. Maybe we should just get whatever's the cheapest for now."

[mirrors_wish]

She's had plenty of practice, having to cover for her Rider friends.

She reaches for some clover honey, then also grabs a jar of lavender.

"I think there were plans to make more of the lavender cake, right? This would probably be nice too, then."
