Aurum sat at the table and sipped her mocha not taking her eyes off the pages of her book. She had carefully selected this coffee shop for the excellent things she heard about it, and for the fact that it met certain restrictions for her.
She wasn't in the best of moods lately. Unfortunate things had happened recently and with not one but two of their cabal AWOL, she was concerned. It was the first time she decided to take a chance and join a cabal and things were not going as planned. She had expected something...different...something more active.
Setting down her coffee she sighed and looked at her watch briefly before turning to the bakery/coffee shop checkout counter. The smells from this place were absolutely killing her and she glowered at the muffins as they sat their taunting her from beneath the glass, and they were all decked out in their streusel toppings and fruited treasures. Then her eyes lit up as she saw the baklava lounging there and she quickly turned back to her reading.
It wasn't long before she cool feel the diabolical baked goods mocking her and staring at the back of her head. While she had eaten before she came for the meeting, the relentless assault from her mortal foe was grating on her nerves. She couldn't let them get away with such blatant disrespect...could she?
Damn it! She thought to herself as she closed her book and went to the counter to purchase.
Then as she made her way back with a massive piece of baklava she couldn't help feeling that she had somehow lost in some epic struggle or something. However, when she took that first bite she didn't care anymore.
I can just go running later or something...that would make up for it...won't it? She consoled herself.
The cybergoth sat blissfully nibbling her prize as she continued reading and waiting.
