PANCAKES! BUT AT WHAT COST?

Alexithymiaa: (She looks so cute)
Tsaaq: ((Yeah this is a good dress for this bitch.))
Alexithymiaa: -Jade sat in the corner booth, her hat pulled down far over her head with her sketchbook open and blank in front of her on the table. An untouched cup of coffee sat beside her book, her eyes just staring down at the blank page through watery eyes because shes a weepy bitch.-
Tsaaq: ((Ah, good placement choice me.))
Tsaaq: Bliss was dropped off by Prudence, who fussed over her a bit before letting her leave to go into the cafe. She went to the counter, taking out her wallet. "A buttermilk short stack on a clean plate and clean utensils. And an order of blueberry pancakes. Two glasses of chocolate milk too I suppose. If the drink order changes I'll let you know." Bliss said before putting her card on the counter and seeing Jade. She lowered her head and acted as if she wasn't there.
Alexithymiaa: -Jade lifted her head to watch Bliss from a far, almost sinking in on herself because she felt shitty about the whole situation. She ducked down slightly in her seat, hoping Bliss didn't see her.-
Covet: -Eli came in the shop and saw Bliss at the counter. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to the top of her head- Hello My Dear. Get everything ordered okay? -He asked, in a gentle tone-
Tsaaq: She took her credit card and reinserted it into her purse. Reluctant to seat herself where the  booths were because of Jade so she rolled towards the tables. She pursed her lips and blinked slowly, just waiting for Eli. Once he arrived she perked up. "Oh yes, of course. I ordered us chocolate milk as well if that's alright?"
Alexithymiaa: -Jade followed Eli as he came in with her eyes, watching him walk over to Bliss and letting out a sigh because she kind of had no friends now and it felt like home in a bad way all over again.-
Covet: Mmmm Chocolate milk. That sounds great. Thank you my Dear. -He said giving her a grin, then sat down in a chair, while pulling one out of the way for Bliss- Change of seating, not feeling the booth today? -he asked her tilting his head to the side-
Tsaaq: "You're very welcome." Bliss said softly as she rearranged napkin dispenser and other things on the table already so that it was symmetrical. "Oh yeah. Not really the most ideal place to be seated tonight to be perfectly honest." She answered him.
Covet: -He looked over that direction, seeing Jade, then gave a nod-  Oh, Okay. I uh...think I understand. So, how was your day today? -he asked, changing the subject, leaning over the table to smile at her.-
Tsaaq: ((Should I post or wait for you Steph?))
Alexithymiaa: (You can post. Im trying to figure my shit out)
Tsaaq: She kept her lips pursed a moment. "Yeah..." She trailed off. "Awful! You let me sleep in. I woke up fifteen minutes late. I was behind schedule all day." Bliss answered with a sigh. "But it's fine." She waved her hand. "I still made it to all my appointments on time."
Covet: -Eli was a little taken back when she said Awful- I'm sorry, you just looked so peaceful and you had this smile, so I didn't want to disturb whatever dream you were having. -He explained, with a chuckle- I'm terribly sorry for throwing your day off, but I'm glad you made it to everything on time.
Tsaaq: Bliss narrowed her eyes at him. "Very well. I suppose one day of sleeping in is harmless. Especially after last night..." She trailed off bashfully. "But don't do it again. No matter how peaceful I look." She instructed sternly just as their pancakes arrived.
Covet: -He was unable to hide the look of pride on his face as she blushed and brought up last night.- Of course, I will make sure to be as punctual as ever.  -He sat up as their food was placed down in front of them. He went to grab his utensils then looked at the chocolate milk, quickly turning around to stop the waitress- Excuse me...Weird request, but Can I get a bendy straw for this? -He asked-
Tsaaq: "Good." Bliss said sternly as she picked up her fork and knife, wiping it with her napkin before using it. "Thank you." She murmured in a softer tone. "You should buy a swirly one and bring it next time." She commented.
Covet: -The waitress went in back to try to find a couple of bendy straws for the both of them. Eli looked over at her- You're very welcome, My Dear. -He took a bite of his pancakes and his eyes got big when she mentioned that- That is a brilliant idea. I haven't used one of those straws in forever. -He chuckled, and the waitress came out, setting a couple of packaged straws on the table for them. Eli thanked her and put his straw in his cup-
Tsaaq: She nodded at the waitress then looked over to Eli. "It's quite whimsical honestly." Bliss said. "We can pick some out tomorrow if you want to... I still have to plan for my birthday. It'll be right around the corner."
Covet: Sounds like a plan to me. We can do that too. -He took another bite of his food, then washed it down with some chocolate milk- How are we going to top slumber party?
Tsaaq: Bliss pursed her lips and carefully sliced into her pancakes. "I don't know... Perhaps something small this year?" She suggested. "I don't want anyone showing up uninvited or anything."
Covet: Alright. that could be done. How many people are you thinking? -He asked her, watching her as he continued to eat his food-
Tsaaq: She pouted and looked upward while thinking. "Hayley, Adam I suppose, Kelsey..." Bliss trailed off. "I'm not as close with many people it seems." She said with a bit of a frown.
Covet: -Eli reached over and gave her hand a squeeze- It's okay. It happens. People drift, and come back together. It's still possible to have a fun get together with a small number like that.
Tsaaq: "Perhaps Steph can come as well." She said, staring down at her hand. "I just feel like people are still... I don't know. I feel like I'm growing and trying to better myself and other people relish in their immaturity."
Covet: We can definitley add her to the list.  -Eli said with a nod finishing his plate- I wish that it didn't feel that way for you. But ultimately, you have those that you still feel comfortable around. People that are trying to do the same thing as yourself.
Tsaaq: Bliss nodded her head slowly. "I know I'm not the best at keeping in contact with people." She said with a shrug. "In fact, I'm probably the worst at it." Bliss murmured.
Covet: It kind of makes sense though. Given your situation. You didn't want to burden them. But it's never too late to rekindle some of those contacts.- He said finishing off his chocolate milk, rubbing his stomach-
Covet: [my bad forgot to hit enter]
Tsaaq: ((Biiitch.))
Tsaaq: She shook her head. "Even before then I was bad at staying in contact with people." Bliss sighed quietly, poking at the remains on her plate.
Covet: Well, if it's something you recognize that you are doing, then what can we do to fix it? -He asked her tilting his head while he looked at her-
Tsaaq: "I don't know Elijah..." She trailed off, hearing her cellphone and furrowed her eyebrows. "I really don't-" Bliss whispered before frowning. "Oh my goodness." She sighed. "I'm not sure but I might have to go to talon hall tonight."
Covet: Sorry...I didn't mean to upset you...is everything okay? -he asked getting concerned when she said they might have to go to Talon-
Tsaaq: She shook her head at him and looked up from her cellphone. "No, yes." She answered softly. "This doesn't add up." Bliss kept frowning. "Remy only talked like that when he..." She trailed off. "I should just go." She shook her head.
Covet: -Eli stood up and pushed his chair in- C'mon. Let's go. I'll get you there. -He told her, pulling out his wallet to leave a tip on the table, not asking anymore questions about it-
Tsaaq: She nodded her head and followed him out of the cafe with a worried expression.
Covet: -He got her loaded up in his Rover then took off to Talon hall, in a bit of a rush-
