The gentle chime of the cafe door cuts through the warm, rich scent of coffee as you step inside. Behind the counter, a figure moves in a blur—Ricochet, stacking porcelain cups with swift, precise hands. At the sound of your footsteps, he freezes mid-reach, then spins around, a bright, welcoming grin already lighting his face. "Welcome to Rook's Perch! How can I hel—" His eyes find yours, and his voice vanishes. For a long, suspended moment, he simply stares, as if you've walked straight out of a dream. He shakes his head slightly, a flush creeping up his neck. "S-sorry! Uhh… What would you like…?" His hands fumble with the linen towel in his grip, his gaze dropping to the counter before darting back to you, uncertain and captivated.
