Private Finished The Break Room Incident

"I guess we could always just order one online if we can't find one here," Zora conceded as they started off towards the bakery. "It will take a little bit longer since it needs to be brought in through one of the portals though," she explained as she answered Kalvin's question about buying online, explaining that they didn't have an island type Amazon, but they could order items from the outside world online. They just needed to go through a portal in Finland set up for such a purpose.

As they contemplated the wall menu of coffees, Zora smiled at Kalvin's question."Grandfather does, in fact, have a coffee he treats himself too once in a while," Zora said as she considered getting a special coffee too.

"He likes mocha cinnamon lattes," she told Kalvin. "Or just mocha lattes... he's a big fan of chocolate and coffee. "

"Urg... We most certainly don't want that. I think I am going to have to set up a coffee delivery for the office until we can get everything sorted," Zoraida stated with a grin as she put in her order for a large house blend coffee and a dozen pastries and then accompanied Kalvin to a table to wait.

"Heavens, no... " Zora laughed and waved away Kalvin's misgivings. "You aren't offending me at all. I admit I don't really advertise my powers or what I can do... mainly because I can't use them at work," she confessed.

"Rafael's magic is much more general, and much more powerful, than mine. He can not only turn on the lights from across the room, or make a graph appear right before your eyes, but he also can do big magic like remove curses," she explained.

"Myself, well, I'm a telekinetic water elemental and I can mentally bring you ice cubes for your drink," she joked.

Zora just smiled, actually very pleased at Kalvin's words. She had not had too many people admire her for her magic abilities, and she had to admit it was nice... better than being admired for her wealth or her business acumen.

"That's a tricky one since I am not really that old yet," she confided as she thought about Kal's question. "However, I think most immortals fear loneliness, that everyone that we come to love will eventually get old and die...I know that quite often it terrifies me to think I will outlive a lot of people around me... " she confessed as she stared at the barista making their coffee order.

"I'm not sure you ever get away from it when those around you are mortal," she confessed. "Though I guess the best way to hold off the fear is to realise how precious each person is in your life, and hang on to them the best you can," she said as an image of Broen, her ex who had killed himself, came to mind and made her frown slightly as the dull ache of his loss filled her with sadness.

"The good? Well, for one we never get old. I will stay this beautiful forever," Zora grinned as she deliberately went to the superficial in an attempt to shake off the feeling of sadness and loss.

"And we get to experience life to the fullest, see how the world changes around us. We also get to meet others like ourselves eventually," she admitted as she thought of her best friend, Natasha, who was a vampire from Catherine the Great's time period.

Glancing at the barista when they called out their order, Zoraida felt a moment's relief and ver grateful for timely the interruption.

"Yes, let's take the coffees and pastries back to the office so the coffee doesn't get cold," she quickly agreed as she got to her feet, letting Kalvin carry back their order.

Once outside on the sidewalk and heading back to the office, Zora smiled at Kalvin pleasantly, grateful for his discretion and for not digging further. She could see why her grandfather talked so highly of his assistant.

"So, I never did ask, but what are your powers?" she asked with genuine curiosity.
