"Indeed. Like refills..." Faevan tilted her glass in Pink's direction before taking a healthy sip.

Pink yawned and stood up, stretching her arms high above her head, glad she remembered the deodorant that morning as she did this particular act. She took the last swig of her drink and tossed it with a perfect arch into the large trash receptical a few feet away.
"I'm sorry to have to leave like this ladies but it is getting very late, and I'm a person that needs as much sleep as they can get. It was nice meeting both of you and I hope to see you guys again. Maybe even come over when I have the house warming party I keep meaning to plan."
With a wave and a smile, she was out the door, the wind outside rushed in through the slight opening and rustled against the windchimes that were hanging near the door, making an almost angelic-like sound as she exited.

Faevan waved goodbye to Pink, smiling as the girl left.
"Take care." She called after her, realizing that the girl probably couldn't hear her. "Nadia, thank you for your company tonight." Faevan stood up, leaving more than a fair tip along side her almost full cup of coffee. "I'll be back soon." She promised, tucking her newspaper under her arm and pushing her sunglasses back into place, despite the growing darkness outside. She stood silently, making her way to the door and slipping outside as quietly as she had come in.

Naida seems perfectly content counting the earnings from the previous day. |3
She sees a pattern.
When Junyi isn't here... THE CASH ROLLS IN!
She should go on more vacations, yes.

Faevan entered the small cafe for the second time, this time less hesitant. She was free of her newspaper this time, and was in more of a 'talkig mood". Covnversation the previous night had been trying for her, but she had gone home and thought things over, and realized her life was not to be lived in the past. With a heavy sigh, she walked up to the counter, looking around for Nadia, or the elusive owner.

"Hello, Miss Repeat customer- I mean, Ms. Fae." Naida bows extravagantly. "What can I get for you?"

Faevan laughed at being called a repeat customer. It was a nice place, and the prices were good. She could see herself coming back a lot, especially with it being so close to her gallery.
"Hello again Nadia." She inclined her head gracefully at the huge bow, wanting to return the courtesy. "A hazelnut latte would be absolutely fantastic."

"Naida," she corrects quietly before scurrying off to make the coffee.
"Maaaaaaaking the coffees~ Maaaaaaaaking the moneys~" She sings cheerfully, throwing mugs and bottles of flavoring like an expert. |3

"Of course, Naida. Sorry, the two were so close." Faevan's cheeks turned a bit red at the blunder. "So, how's buisness?" She stated idly, making conversation.

"It's no biggie," Naida waves her hand quickly. "It's better than some of the other things I've been called." Like "Jolene".
She suddenly frowns. "Business... is slow. To be honest, last night was the best we'd ever had as far as business goes. What about you? You run that... gallery, don't you?"

"Jolene?" Faevan scrunched up her nose at the name. "Yeah I figure Nadia isn't bad in comparison." She sipped her latte, listening to Naida talk about business.
"The Port Gino Gallery is my shop." She said, blowing the steam off the top of her drink. "We haven't seen much business yet, but it was only our second day open." She seemed a bit dismayed, but dismissed it quickly. "I'm sure things will pick up. I have money to last me a while, should I need it."

Naida immediately stiffenes, a frown on her face.
"I have no attachment to that name," she whispers, her eyes growing dark.
"...But a gallery? That's pretty damn cool," she continues, immediately brightening. "Boss calls herself an artist, but she mostly draws stuff that I wouldn't even give a kid, you know? She doesn't take it very seriously." A nod. "When I get off work, I'll have to check it out. Unfortunately, while Boss is gone, I'm working the shop all day. Sucks, but it's a living."

"I understand. I used to work for others too. It's nice to close the doors mid afternoon when things are slow..."
Faevan mused over mentionings of the elusive boss of the cafe.
"When is the Boss going to be in. I'd love to meet her." Faevan pressed, curious to meet other Port Gino residents.

"Honestly, I have no clue." Naida shrugged. "She left me a note saying that she went home to take care of some business, and... well..." Another shrug. "Home's pretty far. I won't be able to reach her."
She shook her head. "So you've only been in two days? What do you do at the gallery? Just give shows or what?"

"Right now, yes, that's all I really can do. I have some older portraits of...people I knew...hanging right now. Hopefully, I'll have some business soon. We mostly specialize in portraits. I reserve studio time, or work off of photos, and do anything from simple sketches to fully painted portraits." She explained, finishing the last of her coffee.
