(ota) Another year older, another year gone.

Greylan was in a particularly bright and cheery mood despite all that had been happening. How could he not? It was just that kind of day and it helped it was his birthday. His father had already stopped by and gifted him new throwing knives, something he'd mentioned in passing that he'd been thinking about getting.

Now he was just wandering around town, enjoying the day

Well, if he finds himself in the mood for coffee and pastries, he's welcome at the Cafe Cocodrillo. Considering the smell of newly-made food and coffee that's wafting from the open door, he may just be tugged into it.

And Teresa will be ready to take his order if he so desires-- and if he can choose from everything.

Anything that smells good is bound to attract Greylan. He wanders into the cafe looking around curiously. "I didn't know this was here." He mused. "Smells wonderful though." He turns to Teresa, smiling warmly.

"We're a little hard to find sometimes," she replies with a grin, "But I can guarantee everything tastes as good as it smells."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"Sometimes the harder to find a place is the better the food." He approaches. "Any recommendations for a first timer?" Grey asks with a hopeful look.

"Bearclaws are usually quite a hit," she answers, pointing to one of the pastries in the middle of the display counter, "Or we've got a few kinds of muffins, if you prefer."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"That actually sounds really good. A couple bearclaws, a lemon poppy muffin and a chocolate chip one if you have it." He smiled. "How long have you been here?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"We have them all, and I'll get them for you right away," she answers with a grin as she punches in the order and tells him how much it is.

"And we've been here for a few years now. Never get quite a lot of business-- you know how people like tea better, here-- but we get by just fine."

He pays and adds a bit extra for a tip. "Tea is good but coffee is life." He looked a touch scandalized by the idea that people would want more tea then coffee.

"Its nice here though. Cozy." He smiles. "You the owner?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Thanks very much," she says as she receives the tip, "And I couldn't agree more."

She shakes her head with a faint smile, "Nah. That'd be my aunt and uncle. Mostly my aunt, though."

[heartsofdarkgrey]

"No problem." He smiles warmly before chuckling faintly. "Well their loss. I think though I may become a constant customer. Everything smells wonderful."

He arches an eyebrow at her. "Anyone I know?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Thanks," she says again as she moves to go get his pastries together on a plate.

"Well, her name's Tanya Quirino. This is kind of her 'big thing,' so if you didn't know about us before, you probably don't know her, either."
