Breakfast of Champions [Open/ Social]

[attr="class,"memoryheader"]

[attr="class,"memorybody"]There was a morning ritual for the dragon slayer, it started with a cold shower to wake every fibre in his being. The next step was to go for a morning walk, aimlessly and with no destination set in mind and when Green felt like his mind was clear and at peace, he was ready for the third and final step; morning coffee. The taste of the warm, bitter liquid was always something Green welcomed and he had a particular café that he enjoyed visiting every morning. In fact, the plant mage had been there enough that the waitress knew his order; black with no sugar, extra hot.[break][break]

So, it wasn’t a surprise when the red haired who wore an apron nodded and asked him for anything extra. Normally Green got his morning coffee and left, however, Romance a guild mate of his had found his way to the outdoor dining area and so Green thought it’d be an okay time to talk and have some company. “A small garden salad please.” His soft voiced hummed in the air as he walked over to where the water mage was siting.[break][break]

“Room for one more Romance?” His words sweet like nectar, as Green presented his fellow guild member a friendly smile. The two had spoken a few times before but nothing too serious, in fact, Green didn’t know much about the blonde-haired male and with his desire to be more social and extroverted this was the perfect chance to get to know him. “How are you this morning?”

[attr="class,"memorybody"]With the agreement of Romance, Green sat down in the chair across from the blonde, yet, unlike him Green’s posture was anything but perfect. Slouched and carefree would be the best way to describe how he sat even in the presence of his elder companion. Despite looking carefree Green was attentive, his mismatched eyes fixated on the water god slayer as he spoke. [break][break]

“Pretty much the same really, I normally come here for a coffee.” His words came out like a statement, seeing as Green wasn’t the most social of people, he had troubles at times conveying what he wanted to say without sounding like a robot. As if the words were slightly forced, yet the dragon slayer gave that same warm yet soft smile to show he appreciated the company. [break][break]

As the pair spoke the sound of more footsteps echoed against the stone floor, light taps pattering like raindrops as the red-haired waitress returned not with food but a small mug which would have been Green’s coffee. He nodded to the elder lady as his contrast eyes showed gratitude as he said thank you in a soft voice. Still after all this time Green’s interaction with this woman he saw every morning was extremely limited. He took a sip from his mug; the strong aroma of grounded coffee beans filled his senses as his cheeks turned slightly red and a soothing gasp of breath escaped as the mug parted his lips. Clearly, he enjoyed it.[break][break]

“What did you get for breakfast?” Green was curious, unlike many of his guildmates who loved to eat meat and the game they caught Green was essentially a vegetarian. Yet with a curiosity and interest in cooking he liked to know what others enjoyed eating (even though he wasn’t any good at cooking).

[attr="class,"memorybody"]Green sat attentively listening to Romance overview his order, the food sounded good but Green struggled to see how slim Romance could stomach all of it. But that was just like most people in Nemean Claw, everyone ate quiet a lot in retrospect to Green who ate very little. [break][break]
“Yeah just a salad for me.” He said with a slight chuckle, in truth Green didn’t need to eat here due to his plant dragon slayer magic he could sustain off the very grass that grew through the rockwork in the city or better yet he could create his own fruit to eat. But there was always a satisfactory feeling of eating out with people that made food taste better. He could never understand why it was just a matter of certainty that food with people equalled better tasting food. [break][break]

“As for the coffee, I just like the bitter taste of it, wakes me up!” Green perked up slightly after another sip of the hot brew. The small talk was nice, Green didn’t feel as awkward or out of place when Romance was around. It was a pleasant feeling of comfortableness he could feel, it was a warm sensation.[break][break]

“So…What’s the plans for the day? I was thinking about going on a hunt after this if you possibly--” As Green spoke the pattering footsteps of the waiter came as the aroma of cooked food captured the air and cut Green from what he was saying and while he didn’t eat meat, he loved the crisp smell of fresh bacon. The lady placed the small garden salad in front of Green and within a matter of moments it was hard to see Romance as plates with mountains of food piled up on them. “Enjoy!”
