[b]Toma Tanaka - May 3rd | Shinza Shopping Square - Yoshida Book Cafe[/b]

Toma listened to the young girl, nodding at her words as he glanced around the unusually busy shop. [color=f26522]"Okay, that'd be great, actually. If you feel comfortable enough doing so, could you help serve and take orders?"[/color]

Alexei then addressed him, the question he asked bringing a small, slightly embarrassed smile to the red-haired boy's face as he remembered how he and Aiko had acted that day.

[color=f26522]"Yeah, that's me. Tanaka Toma. Dragonuv-san, right? It'd be hard to forget you,"[/color] he said, reintroducing himself. [color=f26522]"Your help would be much appreciated, too. Anything you can make would be fine."[/color]

With that, he turned back to the young woman he had been serving, and gave a small laugh at her words, not sure she was entirely joking.

[color=f26522]"Sure thing. I think I'll be able to handle it myself, though--"[/color] he replied, but as he spoke, a small commotion had begun on the other side of the cafe.

Spotting the spilled drink, he was already off, making his way to the counter as fat as he safely could as the young man called for him. He quickly grabbed a handful of towels. A few seconds later, he was over at the table he had served not too long ago.

As Toma threw a towel over the liquid and started to mop it up, he looked over at the two occupying the table. Seeing the boy holding his fingers, he assumed they had been burned by the hot coffee. [color=f26522]"Go to the sink behind the counter and run your fingers under water."[/color] He glanced between the boy and the girl, wearing a reassuring smile. [color=f26522]"I'm sorry this happened, I hope you're both okay. And I'll get you another drink, if you'd like, sir,"[/color] he said as he got down on his knees to wipe the coffee that had dripped onto the floor.
