OOC: How does this work again? Oh... right.... BIC:
Valentine sat down at the table, and smiled to herself. It promised to be another beautiful fall morning today. She held the cup of tea in her hands and soaked up the heat it offered. Today would be a cool one again, but it was about time. The summer heat had stretched far enough, it was time for cozy sweaters, warm fires and snuggling. Snuggling was very good. She could see the trees slowly starting to change for the fall outside the window of the cafe.
The day's tasks began to swirl about Val's mind, but she did her best not to pay any attention to them yet. She sipped her tea and just basked in the morning and a promise of a new day and all of its potential. The tea was very good, it was calming as well. She was going to have to remember this place, and bring Aunt Giselle the next time she came to visit. Which reminded her that she needed to call Mama again today, maybe after the morning errands were run, before… nope, none of that. She stopped herself from those tasks that seemed like they just had to get themselves sorted out. Not right now though, this was morning relaxing time, there would be plenty of time for tasks and plans and schedules later.
Instead, Val focused on the people moving past the window of the cafe outside. It wasn’t very busy out there, but there were enough folks to distract her. People-watching was one of her favorite pastimes. The man hurrying by in a suit might be late for an important business meeting, she hoped it went well for him. A pair of women strolling along chatting may be out on a shopping adventure, or they could be plotting a bank heist. That second option sounded more fun, but she wasn’t sure if she should hope their plan would go well. Others passed and she got to speculate on their lives a bit as they moved across the other side of her window. It wasn't long though before she had company, the bestest company.
