Adam sighed and looked down at the paper menu on the table . "Very . I'd say she should work on her social skills, but who am I to talk about something like that ?"

[HeroOfShade]

"I think." Zoey tilted her head with another grin. "She thinks you're cute." She let out a soft chuckle as the waitress returned to give them their coffees and sweets. She flushed with color, brushing a lock of blond hair behind her ear and scurrying off again.

Adam took a sip of his coffee and shook his head . "Don't know why . Whatever her problem is though, she should get over it ." He moved the plate of cookies to the middle of the table for them to share .

[HeroOfShade]

Zoey chuckled, dipping a cookie into her latte and biting into the soft chocolate soaked side. She looked out the window. "We can go to the park I guess. It's a nice enough day."

Adam looked out the window, biting into one of the chocolate chip cookies . "I guess we can . Not much else we can do ." He kept his gaze focused on the window for a while .

[HeroOfShade]

Zoey finished off the cookie and plugged her headphones into her phone, putting one of the buds in her ear, leaving the other so she could still hear everything around her. She nodded her head in time to the song playing softly in her head.

Adam spaced out, staring blankly out the window across the room . Thankfully, his focus drowned out all the thoughts that poured into his head from the other customers and the Cafe employees .

[HeroOfShade]

Zoey kept her hand on her coffee cup, keeping it absolutely scalding despite the chill of the air conditioning that would have already cooled it otherwise. The waitress came back to check on them, blinking at the still steaming latte, before she could ask anything Zoey spoke up.
"We're fine, and we'll take the check now. I don't believe we'll need anything else."

Adam was snapped out of his trance when the waitress walked back to their table . He blinked, then looked down to avoid eye contact with her . He sipped his slightly cooled coffee and picked up another cookie from the plate .

[HeroOfShade]

The waitress returned, setting the check on the table and glancing nervously at Adam again. Zoey sipped her coffee again, watching the girl quietly slip back to behind the counter. She took a bite of the chocolate cake and returned to staring out the window. People passed by with various types of demons on their shoulders, or skulking in their shadows. All showing which of their human's sins were more distinguished. Some where multiple sins meshed into one grisly beastly shape.

Adam shook his head, looking back up . "That waitress... I don't think she understands what she'd be dealing with, so long as that ever happens . Never will though ."

[HeroOfShade]

"Think anyone would ever be able to deal with your level of sarcasm?" Zoey replied, turning her attention to the slender black wolf lying at it's master's heels, shadows emitting from it's almost skeletal form, watching the other demons with narrow eyes.

Adam lifted the mug to his mouth . "I don't think anyone would want to deal with me in general ." He paused to take a sip of coffee . "Nor do I want to deal with them ."

[HeroOfShade]

Zoey shrugged. "Fair enough." She finished off the cake then looked at the check, placing a ten dollar bill to pay for it, and the tip.

Adam looked at the last cookie on the plate, and nodded once towards Zoey . "You going to eat that ?" he asked, then finished the last sip of his coffee .

[HeroOfShade]

"Nah, anymore sugar and I'll get a headache." She drained the last of her latte, setting the cup back down on the table, the heat from the cup making a soft sizzling against the wooden table, dark singes marking the placement of the cup.

Adam ate the last cookie and set his coffee mug down . He stood up, put his headphones back on, and put his backpack over his shoulder again . "Uh... The park, wasn't it ?"

[HeroOfShade]

"Yeah. Might as well, since going back to school isn't an option." She stood up, swinging her bookbag over her shoulder again.

Adam gave a half laugh . "Yeah, we're not going back to school . Park it is ." He held the Cafe door open for Zoey this time .

[HeroOfShade]

Zoey exited the cafe, then started a leisurely stroll to the park, watching the passing demons as they went. Some of them sneered at her and others hid behind their humans, meeting her green eyes with their own. One attempted to attack her, the human it belonged to giving her a bit of a glare as they passed, her hand twitched at her side, the demon getting knocked back, contenting itself with growling at her.
