That whole "being in the future" thing had pretty much made Gordon's day. Sure, it was still roughly a hundred years behind when he was from -- and an entirely different world, too -- but it still felt somehow familiar. He wasn't going to question it, mostly because he wouldn't understand the logic behind it even if it was his own logic. So why stress himself out over it?
One thing he'd discovered was that people watching was a whole lot more fun now -- for a much, much looser definition of "people".
It was early enough that Gordon's having been sitting there for an hour and a half wasn't causing a table-hogging problem. All the same, he got up and went back to the line for another drink. Hey, he was kind of an idiot, but he wasn't an asshole. If he was going to take up space, he was at least going to make that fact worth it.
He'd already made up his mind to get something different than the first drink -- look, Starbucks was novel enough to him that why wouldn't he explore his options? And thankfully the line, while not terribly long, was long enough for him to have a chance to study the rest of the menu for a second.
