Milliways: a first date

[blueskinnedboy]

The Cosmic Cow is one of those coffee shops where a cat can sit unconcernedly on a table, a chess game can go on for days, and the lattes are always perfectly foamy.

Chris likes it for those reasons, and many others.

He opens the door for Xander and follows him in, glad to be out of the autumn chill. "Order whatever you'd like."

Xander glances around the place, grinning. It's kinda funky, which is always good.

He is likewise glad to be out of the cold, even though he's got a jacket on.

"Anything?" He grins. "You realize that's a mistake, coming from Milliways."

"The menu is slightly more limited here," Chris admits. "But Alex will do her best to please you.

"I recommend the cappuccino in particular, but it's very strong if you're accustomed to American coffee."

To tell the truth? Xander does not do strong coffee at all.

He is torn between going with the wimpy beverage, which might make him look like a dork, and ordering the non-wimpy beverage, which definitely will make him look like a dork.

"You know, it's weird," he says, scanning the cafe for a good space to sit. "The end of the universe, and I usually just have hot chocolate, which I have been making out of power since I was five. So tonight I'm thinking maybe I'll be adventurous."

Only in a totally non-double-entendre-having way.

"The mochas are also very good," Chris says, grinning.
