Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was easy enough to come up with a happy memory, they were, of course, the ones he preferred to think about and as such always had several on hand even though he'd never considered he'd come into a situation where his happiness would turn out to be useful. He pulled up the easiest he could think of, a day spent with Ian off of the island, a pleasant and relaxing vacation not confined to tropical suffering. A clink of change and he handed off his token, accepting the frothy rainbow drink with a bit of thanks before setting off to find himself a table.

He could have sat with others, like happy thoughts he preferred the happy company of people but for the moment he was content to be left with his thoughts and his pleasantly warm drink, trying to ignore the nagging feeling that something was not quite right about all of this, that it never was. He chose a table by its lonesome, tucked in a corner not remote but quiet anyway, and sat down with a bit of a stretch.
