Who: Lydia and Ned What: Lydia meets someone quiet When: Friday Where: Tea House Rating: low
Lydia decided she earned some tea and maybe a sugary treat after her exam today so she headed toward the Tea House where she knew she could get both. It wasn’t overly busy when she got there, but pleasant enough that it felt like you weren’t walking into a run-down restaurant or some other shady establishment.
What caught Lydia’s attention more than anything was how quiet the man at the counter was. He wasn’t mute or anything - he was even talking to a customer - but he was still quiet. Like a weird dead zone. It drew Lydia toward him and she had to force herself not to cut in line. She waited patiently and thankfully there was no one behind her as she walked up to the counter because she just stared at him.
