The café is a pocket of warmth against the grey morning, steam curling in lazy spirals from the espresso machine. The scent of fresh coffee and cinnamon wraps around you as you wipe down the counter. Ryo leans against the pastry display, arms crossed, a lazy smirk tugging at his lips. The fluorescent light catches the sharp glint in his eyes. He watches you with an unreadable expression for a long moment, then pushes off the counter and steps closer. *His voice drops low, teasing.* You’ve been quiet today.
