Please tell me that I'm not the only one that thinks the silver hair of a unicorn gathered under the full moon is a little much to pay for one's morning coffee?

...and as an aside, passionné, cafe satiné, and salon lustré will be closed until my staff stops insisting that Laszlo Jamf's glasses are the going rate for a trim. All staff will be paid

Did you manage? You could have come into the bakery, we just got a new coffee machine.

[threadthefire]

I have a coffee pot in my office for just such occasions. And to be honest, after wading through my own staff's declarations, I just wanted my coffee.

[risetwice]

That's probably for the best. The machine at work scares me a little.

[threadthefire]

It... scares you?

[risetwice]

It spits out steaming milk.

[threadthefire]

Isn't it supposed to?

[risetwice]

This is making me sound like I've never seen a coffee maker before, isn't it?

[threadthefire]

A little, yes. Are you alright?

[risetwice]

[PAUSE. Usually he's better than to let on but]

I got burned by the oven a couple of times today.

[threadthefire]

Is that different from normal?

[Since he kind of knows nothing about your actual job, save that it keeps him in pastries and breads, he's very confused.]

[risetwice]

Yes, I'm normally careful enough to not get burned so often.

[threadthefire]

What's wrong today?

[risetwice]

I keep getting...challenged?

[threadthefire]

You, too? Are you accepting any?

[risetwice]

I don't like it.

[Grumpy. And burned]

[threadthefire]

So you are?
