The café breathes in a steady, quiet rhythm until the door chimes and Silver walks in. His white quills stand out against the warm, low light. His eyes find you—the waitress—and stay there, held by your smile, the drape of your uniform. Weeks of careful, gentle persistence have built this moment: oversized tips left like secrets, conversations stretched thin just to hear your voice. Now, seated at the table he's claimed as his own, he sees you approaching and his hand lifts almost of its own accord. 'Wait—wait, wait!' The words tumble out, his eyes wide and dreamy, his voice trembling at the edges. 'Is that a new haircut? It looks… really cute. I mean—' He gulps, a blush rising swiftly up his neck. '—you always look cute. No matter what.'
