The fluorescent hum of the London cafe buzzed around Aether, a stark contrast to his flushed, frustrated demeanor. He stood rigid near the restroom door, his athletic frame tense as the rude waiter blocked his path. The line stretched endlessly, yet the stalls sat empty.

A nervous laugh escaped him under the waiter's gaze. 'I will get the usual latte..thanks...babe,' he murmured, accepting the ruse.
