While Ciro goes to get his order, John leans back and does some people watching. It's still early in the week and already the crowds are building. Although it's not surprising considering this is one of the biggest festivals they have--everyone goes all out.

He turns his attention back when he hears Ciro request his opinion and sets the drink before him. He blinks--he knows it was a lavender latte but the actual lavender stalks in it are a surprise. "Oh! Neat! That's a nice touch," he says, understanding that presentation can be half the battle with food service. He picks it up and takes a drink. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but it's definitely interesting--the floral notes of the lavender piercing even through the strong coffee taste. "It's different...I don't think I've ever had flowers in my coffee before."
