[He shakes his head.] No. I ain't ever been that far west in the States before. [He watches as another car drives past, a little weirded out by its sleek design.] Not 'til... now. I lived in New York for a time, before-

[Well. Before Columbia. Before all of this.]

...Before here.

Ah, an East Coaster.

[She says this wryly, almost playfully.]

Well, thankfully for you, as a teacher in this state, I am well versed in the history. You can ask me anything about it too.

[why do you sound so proud... There's some chattering on the opposite street, some families, a Hispanic one, a Korean couple with their baby in a stroller, an everyday scene.]

I will say, that our weather in the winter is the best.

I guess you could say that. [His own grin is lopsided, as anyone could tell if they listened hard enough to his speech Booker grew up in a more southeastern area of the country. But he had come to think of New York as his home, despite spending some of the rougher years of his life there.]

I'll be sure to ask if I want a history lesson, Miss Amelia. [This time, her name is stressed in such a way a student would speak to a teacher, a small tease.]

Why's winter the best? You like the cold?

Well, it's chillier, but it doesn't snow here. The weather on this side is different, so some years, we'd get a lovely day of sunshine even during Christmas.

[They're at their destination, a cafe called The Dark Beanstalk. It's quaint inside and the smell of coffee is strong and the seats and atmosphere is inviting.]

Take a seat. I'll get us some coffee.
invigor: (➤turn your back on Mother Nature)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's the opposite of what I'm used to. Christmas in New York is just a blanket of white, and you're lucky if you don't gotta shovel half of it out of your way.

[Booker eyes the name of the cafe with interest, not sure what to think of it. The interior is definitely a coffee house atmosphere -- something else that the man isn't used to. It's a bit beyond his time.

He nods at her and while Amelia goes to fetch some coffee, Booker decides to slide into a nearby booth. He figures it'd afford a bit more privacy, depending on what she wanted to talk about. He raps his fingers on the surface of the table as he waits.]

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The service is quick, mindbogglingly so. She comes back with a tall mug of black coffee for Booker and for herself... Well, she basically has a frappuccino, ice cold, and topped with whipped cream and the works.]

Here you go. Yours is hot, so be careful.

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[He takes the offered cup, inhaling the scent of coffee. Plain black is his preferred kind, and he can't help but raise a brow at Amelia's cup of... fluff.]

I like sweet things.

[SHE SEES THAT LOOK BOOKER]
invigor: (➤now i'll run from you)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Not even bothering to hide that look, nope.]

Got enough coffee in your sugar, there?

[Honestly, that should not even be called coffee.]
recluserose: (But he was mean and unrefined!)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's mint flavored.

[THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION HERE?? She's stirring it up indignantly.]

And besides, warm drinks are for evenings and cold drinks are better for the daytime to keep someone awake!

[what is this child logic]
invigor: (➤once i ran to you)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks at her with a whiff of disbelief.]

I never heard of no one drinking a nice cup of cold coffee in the morning, Red. Have you?
recluserose: (06)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[DRINKING HERE, except using a straw in this case and stubbornly looking to the side before muttering.]

Oh, as if I haven't heard that before.

[That being, "Red," of course.]
invigor: (➤acting on your best behavior)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking a sip of his own coffee, you know, the kind normal people drink.]

What, you don't like it?
recluserose: (30)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I know my hair is red. I live with it.

[she's gonna drink her frapp like all the cool hip kids do]
invigor: (➤now i'll run from you)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Right, but I'm not saying it as a reminder. I reckon you remember the color of your own hair.
recluserose: (28)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Outside on one of the lampposts across from the cafe, there's a crow that has landed on top of one. Oh, two, three, five... Amelia's trying not to give them attention, so she just replies to Booker.]

I feel like at some point, everyone I've met has called me that though. It becomes rather trite.
invigor: (➤seems to go nowhere)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Booker's definitely not looking at any outside lampposts, so this new development completely escapes his notice for now. He's content with drinking his coffee.]

If you don't want me to call you that, then just say so. [He'll quit. He's not that big of a jerk.]
recluserose: (08)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, make her seem like the immature one, she's 66 almost 67 years old here. That sates her though and she takes another sip of her drink before continuing on.]

Well... You can do that much since I let you have the spare bedroom.

[so there she wins]
invigor: (➤by and by lord by and by)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, if it's 2014 and he was born in 1874, doesn't that technically make him the older one?

He makes a "tch" noise, but it's an amused one.]
Guess you got me there.
recluserose: (As if glasses make you seem smarter)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
In any case...

[Man out of time, pulled from death, drinking at a 21st century cafe, with a witch.

Amelia cannot believe she's going over that description in her mind.
]

... Are you feeling a little better?

[She's not the best person for comfort, she knows this, but she has been trying. Doing her best to handle this situation with Booker as delicately or as generously as she can. She doesn't know what else will work because she doesn't know how to fix anything.

But. She tries. She's trying.
]
invigor: (➤say that you'll never never)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[The conversation changing gears seems to sap the levity out of Booker -- he knew more or less this is what she wanted to talk about, but whether or not he's doing better just seemed like a moot question these days. Did it really matter?]

The sleep helped some, I guess. [His hands are clasped around the coffee cup, and he idly stares down at the warm liquid. The scar on his hand stares up at him, but he tries to ignore it.] I ain't so tired anymore.

[He knows that's not exactly what she meant. He's giving her the run around.]
recluserose: (10)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Delicately... Delicately...]

Do you even want to be alive or not?

[Oh]
invigor: (➤for to carry my mother away)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Well hell, straight to the heart of the matter with this redhead.

He swallows, setting his jaw. Beyond that, there's no hesitation in his answer.]
No.
recluserose: (29)

[personal profile] recluserose 2016-09-17 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[OH.

Amelia's fingers reach for the cap of her drink and she. Takes a huge gulp of that winter cold thing before setting her cup down a little loudly, gathering her bearings.
]

...

Yeah, I got nothing.

[SHE'S SO HELPFUL]

But. You're here. And so am I.
invigor: (➤what a home so sad and lone)

[personal profile] invigor 2016-09-17 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[At least Booker would prefer her honesty over Amelia scrambling to put together some false comfort. He'd be able to tell in an instant that it wasn't sincere.]

No offense, but what good does that do me? I've got nothing and no one, now. And now you've got to worry about taking care of a man from another reality who don't even deserve it. Best I can think is that I go and dunk my head in a river again, see if I can get it right this time.
