"I think that man at the end of the line is exactly your type, Liron!"
Lir gnashed her teeth, abandoning her manners as a waitress. There were not many things that she hated about working at Salude Sweets in Darken Vei, but perhaps the most prominent problem she had were her fellow waitresses: flighty, gossipy, winking things, all imbued with some flashy, colourful magic. They used it for
everything — for delivering food, for picking up trays, for serving coffee,
everything, as if they loved sending shivers down little Liron's spine.
"And what makes you say
such a baseless thing, Mira?
Just do your job, please..."
Mira, a purple-haired fae, was not perturbed by Liron's grumblings— if anything, she loved goading her to talk. Liron's lips were usually glued shut when on the job; but despite her best efforts, she'd always end up needing to talk for something... She was somewhat of a sideshow here at the sweets shoppe;
come see Liron, the strange waitress from a far-off, magick-less land, who can only speak in poems! Sometimes she wondered if that was the only reason she was still employed here...
"I'm serious, girl!" Mira prodded Liron in the rib with an elbow, causing the girl to groan, placing a hand over her side. "Look! He looks like... one of those fancy sorcerer types, right? Look at the robes on 'em! Super
magick-y."
Of course, Mira was laughing— because she knew that Liron would be skittish of any and all things too "magick-y" as she called it. As a Connlaoth native, she wasn't sure if she'd ever get used to the abundance of magic in Serendipity, but Ansgar knew she tried. However, after looking at the stranger at the end of the line further, Liron was inclined to agree about something for the first time in her life: Mira was right.
He looked like someone who knew a lot about magick; perhaps more than the sorcerer who was supposed to be helping her break the curse did. As he came to the front of the line, Liron, for once, found herself eager to take a customer's order.
"What will it be, sir?
A cake or pastry for you?
We've all you need here!"
