Private Finished Surprise Encounter

The diner was quiet, even more so than usual, they had the snow to thank for that. With the hindering weather no one really had the time to go out and get food at a diner, let alone a run down old one. Shiro found this annoying, she was already risking getting in trouble for having the job, she at least wanted to get tips while doing it.

So the cat shifter flew in to the dinner on her staff, landing in front of the doors and making her staff vanish. She'd step in, humming a little, her boss calling out a greeting to her. She'd slip off her long coat, revealing her uniform.

Stepping up to the counter she'd turn to see if there was any customer she needed to tend to. Then a familiar face walked in, with a small eep she'd duck behind the counter. It was a teacher, someone who could get her fired and in trouble. Shiro was content to hide but she saw her boss sending a glare her way.

Sighing she'd stand and give her a small, awkward and embarrassed smile. "Uh....h-hello ma'am," she'd clear her throat, "what can I do for you?" Not her usual greeting, it was probably a little crimgey, but her nerves were flaring up a bit.

"Y-yes ma'am," she'd say, writing down the order and passingit on to someone in the back. "We'll get that right out to you," she'd clear her throat nervously. She'd usually go to tend to the other customers but there wasn't any at three moment, the snow had caused business to slow significantly.

She'd clear her throat again, she usually talked with the customers, being friendly and bright was one of the reasons she was hired. "H-how are you Ms. Forestier?" she'd ask, trying to hide that she was feeling quite nervous about serving a teacher.

"Staying warm?" usually she knew exactly what to say, but at the moment she was slightly blanking on what conversation starter should should use.

Grabbing a pot of coffee she'd pour Celeste a cup of it, black like she'd request. "I know what you mean, I can fly with my new staff so getting around isn't to big of a problem," she'd smile a bit, "my neighbors in the dorms are getting grumpy though, arguments are happening more often." She'd snort, "one of them threw me into the snow the other day while I was in cat form."

"More or less," she'd say, glancing around at the mostly empty diner, "as good as the food here is people don't seem willing to walk through the snow to get it." She'd chuckle, "few teleporters and fliers have come through for some coffee, that's about it tonight."

She'd tilt her head, "what about you?" she'd ask curiously, "what brings you out here?" She was calming now, Celeste was nice which helped calm her nerves and get back to her talkative self.

"Mhm," she'd chuckle, "shoulda seen me having to dig myself out, a shivering white cat crawling out of the snow." It hadn't been pleasant, but she was able to laugh at it a little. "Everyone's a bit on edge, easily snapping," she was handling it all pretty well,she knew her siblings were hating the snow.

"Oh a staff meeting?" she'd ask, "anything interesting?" She doubted she'd be told everything that was discussed in the meeting, but she enjoyed chatting with her customers.

"The pies are good," she'd say, flashing a small grin, "we have some ready if you'd like a piece." She'd giggle, "a bit of dessert before dinner?" The diner might be old and slightly run down, but they had good good, especially good pie.

She'd chuckle, "I was a bit of a mess, luckily I didn't get sick or anything." She'd glance at the snow outside, "my siblings haven't been handling the snow as well, my sister hates it especially." She'd brush a bit of hair from her face, trying it back behind her, "her and my brother are more cat-like than me though."

"Events?" she'd ask curiously, "well there's the station, can always do things up there, no snow in space." She'd been up there once or twice, it was an interesting place, all the aliens and exotic tech.

Shiro would flash a grin, "I'll be right back," she'd vanish into the kitchen, returning with a slice of cherry pie for her. "We have one freshly baked often, it's something that gets ordered a lot," she'd say setting the pie down for her.

"Oh, excuse me for just a second." She'd step away, checking on the few other customers they had, filling the coffee of one before returning to Celeste. "So uh....," she'd rub hee arm nervously a little, "you're a witch right?"
