Oh. I’m sorry if it was an insensitive question.

[Not that he seems to be giving an especially emotional response. So without dwelling on it for long, she’ll add with a smile:]

I do like sweet things.

[nodo]

[ it's fine, he's not emotional about it. his delivery was the same as one would give when asking about the weather. sometimes you just don't have a place that exists anymore and you're good with that.

that said—with the coffee brewing... ]

How sweet?

[ he has a small container of rock sugar in front of him and a spoon. how many scoops would this lady like? ]

[sistocracy]

Two scoops, perhaps? That isn't too much, is it? I wouldn't want to drown out all the flavour.

[nodo]

Two scoops seems to be the average of what people have asked for.

[ and thusly, he will portion out two scoops of sugar into the coffee cup before checking back at the coffee which looks about ready. he'll pour (press??) the coffee itself into the cup and giving it a few stirs before sliding it towards her.

enjoy your hot bean juice? he's no master barista but...you know. it shouldn't taste bad..?? ]

Sometimes people add cream to give it more flavor as well.

[sistocracy]

[She'll lift the cup, take in the aroma... and then take a sip.]

[...?]

How peculiar... [and another sip, like she needs to make sure of something.]

... I think I like it.

[nodo]

[ and now lenore has seen the light of the black liquid gold. he'll make coffee drinkers out of you all yet. ]

Yeah?

[sistocracy]

[she's thinking about it as she considers the aftertaste, and...]

Yes.

It has an interesting flavour. Seems like it would be quite pleasant to have during a cold Styrian winter.

[nodo]

It's common to have when it's cold outside. It's also common to drink it with breakfast.

[ you know, because caffeine...not that he's explaining that part. ]

Styrian? I'm guessing that's the name of where you're from.

[sistocracy]

Yes, Styria. Unfortunately, it seems few people here have heard of it. It's a little region in Europe, surrounded by mountains and forest, with a grand castle at its center.

[nodo]

I'd be interested in hearing about people who do share some familiarity in their worlds because Europe is a place that doesn't exist in my world.

[sistocracy]

Really? So there really are people from various worlds gathered here... How interesting.

Many people I've spoken to are familiar with the continent of Europe, at least. It's only my nation that's unknown to them.

[something which brings a frown to her face. she'll take another long sip of coffee.]
