Could it be true?/open

[Alexander Kain]

Alex smiled at the customers as they left, nodding and waving, before turning to settle in the new arrivals. Since returning from France he had been impossibly busy, training to be an auror and running the cafe dominating his life. But it was good to have something to keep him occupied, so his mind wasn't focused endlessly on Elora. With a small sigh, he turned at the sound of the bell.

[Krutika Gehi]

Krutika had many times been to The Three Broomsticks, and Hog's head, even twice to Madam Puddifoot's, but she wanted a change now, and was glad to see the Kithic open. She walked inside the cafe. The turtle she has recently got as a gift from Tauschung was with her, and she hoped the owner really did not mind people bringing their pets. "Morning," she smiled at the owner once she was inside the cafe.

[Alexander Kain]

"Morning," Alex smiled, glancing behind the girl to check no one else was with her. He didn't recognise her, so he assumed it was her first visit, or she had visited while he was travelling. "An unusual choice of pet," he laughed, nodding to the turtle. "I take it he won't require a menu also."

[Krutika Gehi]

"An unusual choice of pet," . "I take it he won't require a menu also."

Krutika chuckled, "Thank you," she said, "And no, he will do with simple lettuce." she said looking at the turtle before looking back at him. "I, on the other hand, will need the menu," she added smiling. In her hurry to reach Zonko's before it was crowded she had not taken her breakfast properly, and after visiting a few shops only she was wishing she had stayed for it. Anyways, now that she was in a cafe and her visit to Zonko's had been successful, she was only glad of the decision.

[Alexander Kain]

"Right this way," Alex laughed, heading towards a row of tables near the window, but not specifying which so she could make her own decision. Picking up a menu on the way past the main desk, he again regretted not hiring more staff. His last waitress had vanished, so he now managed, cooked, cleaned and waited singlehanded. "One menu," he grinned, handing Krutika the booklet. "I'll just be a minute." Turning, he ducked into the kitchens and returned balancing several plates down each arm.

[Krutika Gehi]

"Right this way," "One menu," . "I'll just be a minute."

Krutika smiled, "Thank you," she said taking a table by the window. She glanced outside the window at the beautiful sun before she scanned the menu. She looked up as Alex returned, and her eyes widened slightly looking at the many plates he was carrying. "Wow, how do you manage that?" she asked. This task would have been difficult for herself no doubt. It wasn't for no reason that she has been awarded with the title of Clumsy by her friends. "Honestly you can do with hiring more waiters," she suggested with a smile.

[Alexander Kain]

"Practise," Alex laughed, crossing the tables swiftly as he delivered the meals. "You pick it up after a few years. And I would if I could, but my last one vanished and I haven't had chance to look for anyone else since." He had been helping his friends back in Paris when his natural balance had been picked up, and he made the most of it at the cafe.

[Krutika Gehi]

"Practise," "You pick it up after a few years. And I would if I could, but my last one vanished and I haven't had chance to look for anyone else since."

"Oh," Krutika said, "I am sorry I can not offer to help in this case, because even after practising for a decade I won't be able to keep this balance," she said, only partly joking. "The day I don't trip at least once people began suspecting something is wrong with me," she joked with a shrug.

[Alexander Kain]

"Then can I request you keep away from the glass shelf, I don't want to have to fix everything," Alex grinned. "Now then, have you chosen a meal? I'm Alex, and I will be your server, cook, cleaner.... pretty much everything, today."

[Krutika Gehi]

"Then can I request you keep away from the glass shelf, I don't want to have to fix everything,"

Krutika laughed. "Thnaks for the warning," she said, "I will be.. sorry, will try to be careful," she grinned.

"Now then, have you chosen a meal? I'm Alex, and I will be your server, cook, cleaner.... pretty much everything, today."

"Don't tell me you manage everything yourself?" Krutika said surprised. "I am Krutika. And I would like cheese sandwiches please. And some lettuce for Frank," she added nodding towards the turtle.

[Alexander Kain]

"I kind of have to," Alex laughed. "Nice to meet you Krutika, you're food will be here shortly." Smiling, he vanished back into the kitchen, whistling to himself as he dug through the cupboards.

[Krutika Gehi]

"I kind of have to," "Nice to meet you Krutika, you're food will be here shortly."

Krutika smiled and thought for a minute. She had an idea. "Alex," she called, "Just as I told you how clumsy I am, I might also add I am terrible at cooking, but still if there is anything I can help you with today please tell me," she offered. She had the whole day to spare, and it seemed good idea to be of some help.

[Alexander Kain]

Alex paused for a moment in his pot clattering. "You could smile at the customers and make them happy," he suggested, placing a plate of sandwiches and a bowl of lettuce in front of her.

[Krutika Gehi]

"You could smile at the customers and make them happy,"

"That would be a great help I suppose," Krutika said making a face but then she smiled as he brought the food. "Thank you," she said taking the sandwiches and placing the lettuce near the turtle, who poked his head out of the shell lazily.

"It tatstes nice," she commented after she had taken a bite of the sandwich.
