[ Since Maya had shown her the cafe and she met the owner, Cass, Tex has made an effort to visit. It's not like buying a cup of coffee every now and then would kill her and it'd be supporting a friend, something she seemed to have a lot more of here than she did back home.

When she enters, her helmet is tucked beneath her arm, but otherwise is wearing normal, civilian clothes. She had learned long ago that going everywhere in her armor drew too much attention and even the helmet is more for convenience and a lack of desire to buy an actual one for her motorcycle.

The man servicing the counter is new and looks very, very out of place. She raises a brow as she subtly looks him over, but it doesn't stop her from giving her order. ]
Small coffee, light on the creamer.

[ Gregor had knocked lightly on the open door, then waited for permission to enter, still silently reveling just a little in the turnabout of that. It would probably take him ages to get over it. The link with Aral is firmly closed, but he's more than aware that he has a duty to discharge with that; at the very least he needs to ask him about his preferences regarding it, and teach him something about shielding.

He gets diverted immediately by the gleam of that holo display. ]


You came with datacubes? What's on them?

[ Instantly, he wonders if they can sell these to Tony Stark, too... Though he'd already seemed to have holo displays. Would he be interested? ]

Back home.

[ Oh, she sees that name tag. And she's staring at it. Vorkosigan? Is he the same Lord Vorkosigan than Miles is supposedly a clone of? Her gaze shifts back to his face as she searches for a familial resemblance. ]

New here, Vorkosigan?

[ Assignment, god. Miles had stopped by the café out of sheer curiosity - and walked straight back out, trying not to die of laughter. He knows that café. Of course his father would get assigned there, of all places ... He wonders if he ought to offer him a place in the proto-Dendarii instead.

Not tonight. It hasn't been long since Aral's arrival, definitely before Miles' second encounter with Lucifer. There are things the two of them need to discuss without Gregor there, a much as Miles desperately trusts his Emperor. He quietly shutters the link - All is well, I just want to talk with Da - and steps in.

That ... is a lot of paper. And research. A stab of inadequacy over their link at that as Miles mentally compares what he's done with the month he's had here. (He can blame at least two weeks of that on Russia and the aftermath, though.) ]


... You really don't stop, do you.

[ Miles' clone cover had included details as to why he managed to break free - namely his growth defects. There's enough similarity there, but the man doesn't look old enough to need a new body. Was he from earlier on the timeline? Brother to the asshole? Or did he have a back up body ready to go?

This damn place left too many possibilities open. She'll have to talk to Miles and see if this is the same man. Cass might want to know who she has in her employment.

Outwardly, she nods and keeps a calm expression even as her mind churns. ]
This a job you were assigned or did you find it by yourself?

Hello.

[De Chima is not precisely an easy city to map out anyway. Perhaps he doesn't recognize her at first because he catches her from the back, and not at all from the front, and because she's going to her job and she dresses in skirts to go to this one (as opposed to scrubs for the other one) or perhaps he's just so lost that he doesn't think to look at her properly, but she turns and sees him and there's a smile there.

She seems, at least, unbothered.]


I hope you have not been seeking my care again, my lord Admiral's father.

[She didn't get his name.]

[ Miles lowers himself into it, that note of inadequacy just growing for a moment. He feels like he's younger again, about to get taught a tactics lesson. ]

I normally agree whole-heartedly. But - well, Gregor and I decided early on that we ought to at least try to take some sort of vacation.

[ Well, this is...

Awkward.

Kitty stares at the barista with her mouth open a long moment. And then a little bit of color comes into her cheeks, enough to turn her face quite red. And then she clears her throat. ]


Erm...Sure. A...soy milk mocha latte with an extra shot of espresso and a shot of mint syrup. Please. Lord Vorkosigan.

A little. I wouldn't peg you as a coffee slinger if I saw you on the streets.

[ She glances at her coffee for only a second, but makes no move to rush him. This isn't how she imagined Lord Vorkosigan to look if that's who he really is. ]

You know you can find work elsewhere, right?
rathercommon: (uhmmmmmm)

[personal profile] rathercommon 2016-02-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Erm - yeah. I don't like to order the same thing twice.

[ She drums her fingers a little nervously on the counter. ]

Are you...really working here?

[It's morning. He made that horrible decision to start a running routine in the mornings before Felix got ported out and now he can't fucking stop waking up at the ass crack of dawn, so he may as well do something with it.

But he'll gladly take any excuse to stop once he's started so he gets flagged down and jogs to a stop.]


Yeah? What's up?

To be honest, we haven't gotten to it yet. Things keep happening. I ended up kidnapped for a week and a half, and then you showed up ...

[ A trace of amusement at that mental stutter, though. His father really never does slow down. ]

[ He was about to ask if he'd had any luck getting it to interface, but suspects the answer is no, and in any case this other conversational thread leads more where he wants to go.

Gregor slips into the room properly and takes a seat in an arm chair, his own stack of books neatly aligned on the end table. ]


Disorienting, isn't it? The first few days I kept waiting for someone to rush up asking me why I wasn't sticking to my schedule.
