Welcome to Gaia! ::

Curiosity was something that often got the better of people, and Soliel really want much of an exception. She'd noticed the open do, the string smell if coffee and the steam, and she'd made a little detour. A brief pit stop on her way to find a certain lazy Sun trainee.

"Hello?" As far as she'd known, this room had been empty earlier last week, have it? So either someone had moved, or they had at least one new recruit.

Jesse slumped his way down the hall, he could smell something wonderful, a deep warm scent that called to him. Coffee. Oh how he wanted a cup of coffee. It may have been rude but he followed his nose, heading to the site of the scent. "Uh, 'lo in there? Sorry to bother ya, but can I bum some coffee from you?" He knocked with his knuckles lightly. He hadn't been awake long, and the smell of fresh coffee was too tempting.

Lysander was someone who had always possessed a real skill for finding freebies but on the island he'd honed this skill into a survival tactic. He didn't get paid and he didn't get leave, so whatever treats he managed to get from other people were all the good things he got.

That was why when there was a smell of coffee on the air, he tended towards it. He missed coffee so much it was difficult to articulate, and though it was almost certainly no kopi luwak, it was something.

He peeked around the door cautiously.

"Is this public coffee?" he asked in a very shifty manner.

In case required reference

Jesse could have swore she said she wanted a cowboy... no he had to be hearing things. He was just so tired. He slouched his way into the room, moving to take the wood from her and putting it where she wanted it. He would not have let her do that while he was there and able. He seeming to have been welcomed in, and he picked up a cup when he was done. Hot he was used to, the hotter the better. The smell of it. He inhaled deeply before taking a large gulp. "Thank you Ma'am."

He finally turned all attention on the lady who had welcomed him and he touched the brim of his hat politely. "I am deeply appreciative of this drink." Dark and potent, it woke him up, though he still seemed so bone weary. "The name is Jesse, Jesse Cooper. It is an honour to meet you." Now that the caffine was in his system he moved to politely kiss the back of her hand if she allowed.

Lysander took the confirmation as an invitation, letting himself in with all the entitlement of someone to whom no door has ever really been closed.

Once inside though he gave the coffee machine a concerned look. Normally he got Roswell to make him coffee, because that was - as far as Lys was concerned - his job. Without Roswell here he had to actually try and remember how to make a cuppa.

He picked up a cup and decided to go about it, more used to an elaborate combination of kettles and other things than the simplicity of a coffee machine.

"Er, I'm Lysander. Lysander Astoria." he said, extending the hand not holding a cup towards Tzei. "Nice to meet you."

Jesse's lips curled in a slight smile, and if she looked carefully she would see a kind of glint in his eye of amusement or happiness. "Ma'am if you need help you can call anytime. I don't at all mind." He again tapped his hat, then he looked around slowly. "Your room seems a fair shade more hospitable then my own."

He glanced around then nodded. It did seem nice. He hoped his own wouldn't be too bad.
