The First Romance Of The Day

On his way to the 'Sweetheart Cafe' with his newly found girlfriend, Lestat had thought of the past few days. They had been extremely odd for him. He was out of character for some parts of especially recently. As he walked the the streets, hand and hand with Flayace, he looked at all of he unassuming people that walked by the two. They paid no relative attention to them. Was he finally normal and fitting? Or was it just that he was with Flayace? At this point, it didn't matter one bit. He was enjoying himself finally.

It was a bright day, sunny indeed, though there were some clouds above that were small and calm moving through the sky. Not very many people were outside walking nor were there a lot of cars on the roads. The wind was blowing but only keeping it moderate as the sun was keeping everyone warm. they were almost working together to keep all of us at the perfect temperature.

Lestat had only one other pair of clothes that he brought with him to the island. They were clean and folded correctly. At least he learned how to stay up on his hygiene and looks from the humans. Wearing the same hoodie as usual, this time Lestat had a pair of black pants that were baggy enough to keep comfort up. His shirt was a bright green that matched his eyes, almost an emerald green. His shoes, however, were the same as he always wore.

Looking over to Flayace as they approached the Cafe, he let go of her hand. Moving towards the door, he opened it so that she could enter before him. He had learned earlier that year from a book that it was polite to do this. Even though he didn't like the humans, he did try his best to learn about them so that he could fit in just as well as they did. If not physically then maybe through personality. He had learned a lot about etiquette and manner as well. Finally it all came in handy.

Upon entering the cafe, Lestat guided Flayace to the open table near a large window that showed everything outside, from the people to the cars. Pulling out her chair and awaiting her to sit down, he stood patiently with a small smile on his face from just being with her.

Just after Flayace sat down, Lestat pushed her in a little closer to the table. He also sat down only moments after this. The table was rather tall though. The top went up to Flayace's lower chest but to Lestat's mid stomach, naturally he was taller than her so the placement was a bit different. The air in the cafe was warm and smelled excellent for a place for couples. All the waitresses were moving around quickly at their jobs staying efficient.

After a few moments, Lestat looked to Flayace and asked her a question. "So how do you like the place?" he wasn't good at starting small talk at all so he thought he should try something that was easy to respond to. He had no idea that this question was literally used by everyone to start conversations.

There were menus on the table, one for each person, in this case two, that showed everything that they had to offer. It was divided into different sections that one could see as they open it up. The first was for coffee. "What is coffee" Lestat had though to himself as he looked through the menu. Shaking it off, he looked at the section for food. There was a variety of small things to eat like donuts, crumpets, biscuits, and even cinnamon rolls. They all sounded delicious to Lestat but he didn't know what to try since he had only rarely eaten anything like this. Its a good thing he had saved the money he had before he got to the island too, so he could treat Flayace to something like this. Though he would need to get a job soon to keep a steady income of money.

"I'll let you choose, okay?" She said as Lestat looked through the menu. He was unsure what to get for himself let alone for the both of them. So he kept his face glued to the menu so that he could find what she would be good for the two. He mind trailed off to the amount of money he had to be spending for the two. He was ashamed to say that he didn't have a pocket full but what he had should be sufficient for this time. $32.87 is all he had. If he did this right, like how he saw others do, he may be able to walk out with a few dollars still in his possession. He was glad that it was him with the telepathic powers and not her.

Lifting his head out of the menu with a smile, he tried to suggest things that he thought she might like. "Do you like co-fee? He asked. He never even heard of coffee in all the years that he had been living among the humans. It was sad really. He tried to pronounce it the best he could. He turned the menu around so that he could point out what he was trying to say. He blushed slightly as he was embarrassed to say it like he did.

"Hot chocolate, huh?" He said cautiously. He was unsure of what to think. The coffee sounded a little on the peculiar side. He had never heard of it but her description of it made it sound like its not something you would just eat or drink randomly. But this hot chocolate he may be able to relate to. He heard about others liking chocolate but he had never had it himself, let alone hot chocolate. But he took her word for it since he figured that she would never try to hurt him or make him eat or drink something nasty.

Looking back at the menu with his hand on his chin, stroking it, he scanned the menu for the delicacy known as hot chocolate. Having an 'Aha' moment, Lestat's face lit up as his eyes came upon it. "I found it. $2.49 per cup. Sounds good enough. You want one of these...umm..doughy things?" Lestat knew what they all were but he had no idea how to categorize them. He didn't know that people would call them pastries. He looked at her while, yet again, showing her the menu. She was almost like a guide in addition to being his significant other. She would most likely be the one to tell him more about this oddly sculpted world.
