[ The past few months have been difficult, to say the last. For her, and for Locke City itself. The city she grew up in... even though lately she had these vivid, oh so vivid memories of a small town where all the children shared one school room - and a church, some deity that she didn't recognize, a house surrounded by flowers...

A place vastly different from Locke. A place that, in an odd way, she felt nostalgic for.

The shop is empty at the moment and deathly quiet as she polishes a pretty tea cup clean from behind the counter, blonde hair falling over her shoulders as she works. Every slight noise within a reasonable distance rings in her ears but it's no longer intolerable. The shelves and shelves of books around the parlor are somewhat disheveled; it's clear she was cleaning through them before getting distracted by the cups.

It's quiet, but the city is far from still itself, and after a moment she places the cup into the rack of variously colored and sized teacups and begins to sweep the floor. ]

[ Colette, of course, is busy with nonsense in the shop as the boys stumble around in the doorway. There's sweeping, cleaning, all the things you'd need to do in a tea shop, though at the sound of customers she peeks up from behind the counter.

--Oh! She happens to recognize one of those boys. It's... it's the one she hit with her bike, oh goodness. The other she doesn't; perhaps they're... brothers? Best friends? They seem quite close! ]

Welcome to Posies! Please sit wherever you'd like!

[ A habit, you must greet every customer!! ]

Lloyd. Lloyd. Bud. All the chicks at school are minors. It's high time you learned to appreciate an older woman!

[And he knows just where to start. Marching Lloyd up to a table near the cute blonde who greets them, he grabs them both chairs.]

I missed you hunny. Hello ♥.

[boredallready]

But I'm a minor too!

[Lloyd blinks in surprise when they're greeted. He was sure he'd run into her before. ...Or more like she ran into him, actually, but whatever.]

Oh, hey Colette. I didn't know you worked here.

[Not that he'd ever been here, but still. He turns back to Zelos.]

So have you met her before?

[angelskills]

Oh, yes! I do!

[ Smooth, Colette. ]

It's nice to see you again! ... Though, um, I'm not sure we have...?

[ She's talking about Zelos in that one; he really doesn't look familiar, and she feels like she'd remember a guy like this! ]

[Guess who's coming out of the bathroom just now? That's right, it's Mr. Killjoy aka Mr. Locke. The trio catches his eye pretty quick and he raises an eyebrow. Lloyd and Zelos? Why are they here? They hardly seem the types to go to cafes. ...Then again, the same could be said of himself.

Ah well, going by to chat and make sure they weren't causing trouble couldn't hurt. That thought in mind, Richard opts to walk on over there.]

[glorifiedtrash]

Nope! At least I don't think we have-

[Oh look who it is, a definite pause as he sees Richard come over. Looking between the three of them -Lloyd, Colette, Richard- something crystallizes and a scene flashes through his mind. ...A very bizarre and violent one.]

-Woah!

[Jumping out of his chair to the point it falls over he is not very graceful right now. Uh...uh...fuck.]

...Her beauty is even more astounding up close! I think I'm going to call you kitten, my dear ♥.
