Justin waved his hand dismissively as Skye offered her card and then moved away to the counter. Christy came to the shoppe front from the back storehouse and looked at justin stood with a hand on the counter, looking back he said nothing waiting for her to be ready. Christy put down the box she was carrying and then washed her hands, "Finished cleaning up your mess?" she asked in a friendly manner yet her demeanor and facial expression remained quite serious. "Getting there..." Justin said briefly as Christy approached whilst drying her hands against her apron, "I'll have another cream coffee, a citrus tea, and two apple strudels please.." He finished and moved his card to Christys side of the counter with his index finger.
"Alright.." Christy said in response to both Justins response to her question and his order. "Go and sit down and i'll bring them over.." she instructed turning around and pressing a few buttons on the coffee maker. Justin was just about to leave for his table again but stopped and turned around, whispering slightly "...and can you not make the drinks so hot.... please.." he asked with a serious expression. Christy rolled her eyes and agreed before continuing with what she had been doing.

Christy's Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries ~ 02/25/822 Skye widens her eyes, but after a while she blushed a bit. After all it's the second time someone is going to pay something for her, even if it's just a little thing like a cup of tea. Skye doesn't plan to to turn around and watch him, but keeps watching drops of water falling down, thunders, and her cup.
"Just stop blushing or hide it well when he's back! Skyee just don't panic and don't mess it!"
Justin returns to his seat steadily, "So, do you live on New London then or.. ?" He asked with a slight smile, Christy could be heard clattering away behind the counter busying herself while the order was being prepared.
"I used to live on Newark, used to be such a breeze after shifts to just dock there and be able to get home in a decent amount of time, do you still have to take your hussar to the district precinct before going home?" justin continued.

Christy's Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries ~ 02/25/822 Skye gave him a kind smile, seeing him walking back. She is still trying to hide her red cheeks, but isn't successful.
"Ahhhh Skye, problems incomming!!"
"Well, I live in hotel on New London, trying to survive you know."
"Uhhh... I guess you meant Waterloo huh?"
"Jeeeze you idiot... Again pointing out his possible mistake."
Justin noticed her rosy cheeks but didnt want to make a big deal out of it, he then paused when she facepalmed. "wait.. waterloo.. oh yes! oh how embarrassing, did i say 'Newark' ?" he asked quizzically wondering why he would remember the station at new london as the station at Manhattan, several light years away.
"well i guess with that blunder im as red as you now" he said with a quiet chuckle, pointing out how red she was in a round about way.
Justin laughed, "You like cold tea too huh? maybe you were a cat in your previous life" he joked as Christy came over and placed a small tray down onto the table, on the tray was justins coffee, Skyes tea, and two apple strudel pastries which were both on white plates with flowers around the trim.
"Aah, here we are" he said thankfully and sat upright a little more, "I've just used the regular kettle to make these drinks" Christy said with a foreboding tone, warning justin not to complain, she then lightened up and gave Skye her best customer service smile "They should be much more to your liking". Justin piped up again quickly "Well, if miss Skye really was a cat in her previous life she'll burn herself still." he joked again with a wink at Skye, poking fun a little.
Christy, slapped Justins shoulder playfully, "Oh you.. what am I going to do with you, look your embarrassing the poor dear"

Christy's Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries ~ 02/25/822 Skye is watching them happily, but then she noticed warm tea and apfelstrudel on the plate in front of her. She couldn't help herself but blush kindly.
"It looks really good, I don't know how to thank you, you two"
Skye smiled, carefuly grabbed cup of tea and really, really carefuly made a first sip. She loves this kind of tea, fruit one but then one idea stormed into her mind.
"Miss? Or lady? Do you serve Ice tea as well?"
Skye asked kindly, after all Justin reminded her childhood and mother serving Ice Tea every day.
Justin glanced at Skye occasionally while she sat there blushing, thinking to himself that this junior constable was actually quite pretty, though a bit strange. Christy smirked and looked at Skye with a jokey smile "dont be silly love, its my job" she responded kindly, Justin reached for his coffee and began to drink, then Skye called Christy 'lady' and he nearly choked on his coffee, having to turn away from the pair of them while he tried not to cough. Christy's brow dropped as Justin began to cough desperately having been taken off guard, knowing christy hated to be called formal names like that. Christy on the other hand, knowing sky wouldnt know that she disliked it turned to justin briefly "I hope you joke on that..." she said in dark humour, justin began to howl with laughter mixed with a gasping cough for oxygen. Christy then turned to Skye "Please, just call me Christy" The hostess asked kindly in order to make fully clear she wasnt angry at Skye, before picking up the tray and leaving back to the counter.
Justin settled down eventually, still bubbling up laughter every now and then while drinking more coffee, though he had been recalling more other occasions where Christy had given other officers the third degree for continually refering to her has 'miss' or 'lady' christy. "ahaha.. mmm, haha.. well played junior constable" Justin commented ambiently with a smile, drinking his coffee. Finally he had calmed down completely and looked at the woman before him whom was deeply embarrassed, "dont worry about it, everyone makes the same mistake, though shes a finickey old bird is our christy"
