Barley was...well, mad didn't cover it. She turned her saddle bags inside out looking for her keys, but found them nowhere to be found, replaced by giant bulky plastic toy keys. Stomp on the useless keys before gathering her things back in her saddle bags, every once in a while pausing to let out a very odd ribbon of cussing words and insults.
Pulling on the full saddlebags before walking off towards the park, or maybe the cafe. Trying to find WHO had her keys would just be a useless exercise in riddles and pointless quests out to nowhere, her keys would appear in her mailbox tomorrow morning, one way or another. Thankfully this time there wasn't anything in the brewery that could be ruin with just one day of neglect.
Maybe she would pick up some coffee and see about that new chocolate shop her mama and cousins had been raving about. Maybe they would have something to her taste. Unlikely, but she couldn't possibly be more disappointed after being locked out of her brewery.

There was a huff, then a sigh, as Orchid dug through his bags for the keys to his chocolate shop. It was a pointless endeavor, as he knew that someone in his family had taken them and hidden them somewhere, but he just had to check to make sure he hadn't just misplaced them. Finally giving up, he glared irritably at his keyless bags before slinging them on and leaving his house. His shop was out of the question and he knew he'd be barred entry from his mom's kitchen (the only kitchen that had the supplies he'd want and need to make anything decent) so his only option was to actually socialize for once.
There was a moment's pause as Orchid tried to figure out where to go, but his mind quickly latched onto the idea of coffee. It would curb his temper for the moment at least, so he headed towards a nearby cafe that he knew was good. At least maybe now he'd get to do something he wanted today.

Sitting quietly after ordering her coffee, Barley waited by the table where to-go orders were given out. Her short tail was twitching with some measurement of annoyance that hadn't quiet melted away just yet. Grey eyes looked over the small cafe, trying to find some inspiration on what to do. Most phonies she knew were working to some measurement of the word, and would run her out of their store before she could offer to help with something here or there, because apparently sweeping the floor of her mama's bakery wasn't relaxing.
The bell of the cafe jiggle happily, taking her attention for a moment. She blinked once, or twice at the pink stallion that walked in. She would like to think that pink males were rare, but she was almost sure they outnumber females in that color, but the color wasn't what really held her curiosity, but his cutie mark. Tilting her head from side to the other, she honestly didn't know what she was looking at. It was brown, and white...and...curvy ..and...what the hell was it?

Orchid sighed and paid for his coffee, grumbling (a little loudly unfortunately) about being locked out of his shop before heading near where the to-go orders were to be given. His eyes trailed over the others in the cafe as he walked, searching for someone he knew but finding that unfortunately his luck was still out. Lastly his eyes landed on a green mare, who was glancing at something with a confused look on her face. His eyes flickered away from her, before his mind clicking that she had happened to be starting at something on him.
Orchid blinked, then looked back at her, his mind whirling with questions on why exactly she was staring. Eventually, he settled on a simple "Uh, hello?" hoping to grab her attention.
Tristam Lockhart Sorry this is so late!! Last few days have been stressful and busy for me

What is a vase? It kinda look like a flower. Maybe a wood sculpture! but why did it had white? Barley took a second to realize the other was talking to her, at which point she sputter a bit before collecting herself. "I..um..Hiya. Sorry...Didn't mean to stare at yer.." She looked back then turned to his face again. "Rear...Oh..coffee is here!" She quickly went to the counter, where there was obviously no coffee waiting there, yet.

His.. rear? Orchid's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, trying to figure out what exactly the other was talking about. Maybe it was his cutie mark? He followed her to the empty order counter, a soft smile on his face and replied "It's fine, I was just confused. If you were wondering about my cutie mark, it's a chocolate orchid." His day hadn't been going so well but this random encounter was making him feel a little better, despite the oddity of the current situation.

Barley blushed a bit when he came over to her sorry attempt to save face. "Oh...." She muttered softly, looking over to him, still quiet a bit embarrassed.. "....why? I mean...I guess ya kinda like to make chocolate flowers, but why an orchid? It ain't a common flower or something."

color=#D9A3D3]"Why it's an Orchid?" This caught him by surprise and he paused to consider it, his eyes flicking towards where his cutie mark was. He had never really considered why it had been an orchid, it had just appeared there and he had been more than happy to receive it at the time. color=#D9A3D3]"I suppose because it's my namesake, as my name is Chocolate Orchid and I do indeed enjoy making chocolate flowers. I however happen to make other chocolate treats too." Orchid finally replied with a grin. Might as well be straightforward with his answer.

"Oh..." She chuckled softly, relaxing a bit more. She didn't even bolt when her coffee was finally put on the counter. "That kinda makes more sense. Whacha do besides flowers then? and don chocolate kinda melt after a bit after awhile? Seems kinda crazy."
She paused, hearing her own words. "But not the bad kinda crazy, I mean more like the good crazy that gives folks stuff like see through toasters" Rambling, she was rambling. Somephony make her stop.

Orchid laughed, replying "I get what you mean, although I've never actually heard of a see through toaster." Fully ignoring his coffee that arrived on the counter, he continued "The chocolate doesn't melt because I do a special thing to it called tempering, which makes it nicer to look at and raises its melting temperature to a higher one than normal. I still have to keep my shop somewhat cool though, just to be careful. But besides flowers I sometimes make sculptures and centerpieces for special events, but also just normal candy like bon-bons and little chocolates with flavoring inside like caramel and peanut butter..." He blinked, realizing he had been going on quite a bit about chocolate which probably wasn't interesting to his company. "It's not really that special though haha. Oh uh, I never did catch your name." Orchid finished politely, eager to attach a name to this new face.

Chocolate was not a subject that normally intrigue her, but she was used to listening to her brother and mother talk endlessly about pastries, and funnel cakes, and other sweet things enough that she at least had a gentle interest of it. Orchid's passion obviously ran very deep in that subject, he certainly seem to lit up when talking about it, so Barley nodded, listening closely to his words. It don on her that this was probably the owner of the little chocolate shop she been meaning to check out that day.
"Oh! Where are my manners..I am Barley Pop." Her ears perked up when she pronounce the 'pop' in her name. "It's very nice the meet ya, Orchid. I think what you do is very special. My mama runs of a cafe and mah brother gots a dinner. I know how food can be very special."

There was a small smile as Orchid noticed her ears perking up, it was sort of cute how they did that he thought. "That's sweet of you to say. My mama happens to run a bakery herself, learned a lot from her actually." He chuckled a little, thinking of how much time he used to spend in the kitchen with (and without her). "Do you happen to run anything?" He asked, thinking of her name and cutie mark.

"There is whole lotta bakers around here..." She chuckled softly and smiled. "I run the brewery a few ways from here. Got lots of different kinds and fews things for the kiddies." There was a bit of a pout forming on her face. "Of course, I woulda been workin' already, but somephony stole my keys again."

"A brewery? That sounds nice." He replied, thinking of the drinks that she possibly made. It was nice to go out of the usual coffee and hot chocolate that he drank, as good as they were he did sometimes get tired of them. He blinked in surprise when he heard of Barley's predicament though. "Yours got taken too!?" Orchid asked, thinking he had been the only one who had a thieving family.

"Yah, they think I work too much!" Barley nodded several times, before the other phony's words finally registering in her head. "Wait, they took yer keys? Fiends! The lot of them! Don't they know we got stuff to get done?"
