Hearing the girl--[i]Shizuka,[/i] Zac reminds himself--comment that she did, in fact, work there and wouldn't be wearing the maid outfit if she didn't, laughs and says, "I thought it looked familiar! I'd have known right away, had I been here before." Opening the menu, he says, "Honestly, if it weren't for my poor sense of direction, I doubt I'd have even found this place. Luck sure has a way of working, doesn't it?"

After a few moments, he decides to take Shizuka up on her suggestion, saying, "I think I'll try that parfait you mentioned. As for the flavor, go ahead and surprise me." Handing the menu back to her, he gives her a friendly smile and says, "You might wanna get used to seeing me, here, especially if this parfait's as good as I'm hoping." [i]Assuming I don't get lost trying to get back here![/i] he adds silently.

[color=a187be]"Yes sir, I'll get you a 'surprise' parfait,"[/color] Shizuka replied, having the Tropical Parfait in mind as it was her personal favorite with pineapple and mango.  She was a little more at ease, Zac exuded a friendliness and innocence that suggested he had thought nothing of the incident at the park and that he wasn't here to pick on her or prank her because of it either.

He turned to Shizuka, eyeing her eagerly as he spoke.
"I'll have... two cups of coffee! Extra black! Extra bitter! Aaaand... four eclairs!" He stated giddily, handing the menu back to Shizuka.

"Ahh, this place is so nice!" Livius flopped backwards in his seat. "I'm a pastry chef at the Tiny Snowflake. And a pretty good one!" He added on. "Although... I wonder if this place pays more." He then gave a short chuckle. "If the boss saw me down here, he'd be sure to strange me!" Strangely, he sounded excited about that. "Aaanyways, less about me, more about you." Livius was a person who moved quickly, in all senses. His emotions, his gestures, and what he spoke about all shifted incredibly rapidly. It wasn't unusual for others to have trouble keeping up with his antsy, active attitude. "I feel like I recognize you. From somewhere. Maybe I've seen you around?" Livius seemed momentarily puzzled by the thought.

[color=a187be]"Two black coffees and four eclairs,"[/color] Shizuka repeated, taking his order, and assumed he was going to share half his order with Zac.  While Shizuka felt relieved concerning Zac, she was still a bit suspicious of Livius; something in his mannerisms suggested mischief, even if benign. [color=a187be]"I-I'm a graduate student at the Academy and I TA a biology class.  Perhaps you've seen me on campus?  Assuming you go to the Academy as well."[/color] Shizuka asked, hoping this was the reason he had seen her around, otherwise it might be a little creepy.  She left them for a little while to give the order to the kitchen but returned to the front to wait for the barista to make their coffees.  There weren't any other customers so she hovered nearby in case they called her.

As he was preparing the coffee, the barista said, "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation earlier, but if you're looking for a job, I could offer you something."
