OOM: afternoon coffee

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Even people who pride themselves on supporting independent shops end up at Starbucks sometimes.

There's one within walking distance of Steve and Orpheus's apartment -- there are more than one if you're up to walking a bit more -- so Steve brings Felix there, so he can see what it's all about if nothing else.

It's a quiet Sunday afternoon. Steve has his sketchbook, but he hasn't opened it yet in favor of looking through a copy of the Express someone left on the table instead.

"I think that's an excellent idea," Steve says and looks at Orpheus for confirmation.

Orpheus glances between them both with a smile. "I have no objections." It's Steve's city more than his own for many reasons.

"Great."

Museums, coffee -- it's like playing tourist, not like waiting for the all-clear after an emergency evacuation. This is a vacation, he tells himself. Relax. Enjoy it.

So long as he can manage that much, he's sure everything will be fine.
