First action | Open to Everyone | Cafeteria

[bat_cookies]

It was his way of alerting the others of his presence quietly. His hot butter raisin scones were popular back in Wayne Manor and they did have a distinctive taste and smell. Alfred left the door between the cafeteria and the kitchen open although not conspiculously so. Just a tiny bit to encourage company

[Cid has to admit that the smell coming from the cafeteria--or rather, the kitchen, he soon discovers--is rather better than usual, and when he peers in, he finds an individual dressed far more formally than the norm as well.

...Has there always been a butler at the Garden?

In any case, if he's being invited inside, Cid's not one to refuse, especially when it smells so nice in the kitchen.]

Pardon my intrusion. [Looking around, it doesn't take him long to notice the scones.] I couldn't help but notice the wonderful aroma...

"Please, help yourself sir. Alfred Pennyworth, at your service." He offers him some on the tray.

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pennyworth. I am Cid Raines, an instructor here.

[Typically speaking, at this point Cid would offer his hand for a handshake, but seeing as Alfred currently has his hands full, he merely dips his head in greeting.]

And thank you. Are you a new... chef here?

[Cid reaches over and carefully plucks a single scone off of the tray.]

[bat_cookies]

"Yes, sir. I was employed a little over four hours ago."

[focusedfate]

Four hours? You settle in quickly.

[He smiles briefly.]

Have you managed to find anyone familiar to you thus far?

[bat_cookies]

"Yes, sir. A few of my employers wards have also ended up here." He answers rather briefly.
