Who: Imogen (Seshet) and Hayden (Hades) What: Another day at the cafe... Where: 'The Quill' cafe. When: Monday, just before midday.
Imogen had started her shift late, running in at half past eleven with a hasty apology thrown in the direction of the kitchens. She'd thrown her bag into the back room, grabbed her maroon apron off the hanger, and thrown it over her head hastily. As she tied the strings around her waist, she gave the room a quick glance. The lunchtime rush hadn't appeared to come in yet, and most of the tables were empty. There were a few people nursing cups of coffee and tea, buried in books or newspapers, an old man munching on a toasted sandwich. In the corner someone had a laptop out and was typing curiously, their own drink forgotten at their elbow.
Imogen sighed moved to collect a few empty cups from where they'd been left on tables, and carried them through to stack them into the huge dishwasher. After a quick chat with the Lyle, the lunchtime cook, she returned, straightening up her ponytail. Someone had just arrived, and was settling themselves into one of the tables by the window. Imogen checked her apron pocket for her notebook - not that she usually needed it - and hurried over to them.
"Good morning!" She treated the newcomer to a wide smile. "Would you like to see a lunchtime menu?"
