Christy's - Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries

[Marcus]

Pouring with rain outside, the door opened as Reena, half turned around to argue, came in.
"Why do we have to in here? There's nothing absolutely to drink!"
"There's plenty to Drink Reena!" Aurelia pushed her way in, dragging Reena along with her
"Yeah, tea! Look, I know a nice bar not far from here, we wouldn't get wet at all. It serves real drinks and as a matter of fact I know a few gu--"
"I know that bar as well, and despite it being a lovely place, WE'RE NOT GOING. Since I don't feel like anything heavy after doing a Convoy run to Liberty"
Aurelia had never really taken any notice of tea before ordered the first name that caught her eye, Reena spent several minutes glowering at the list before ordering one herself along with a small selection of scones for both of them. Despite evidence to the contrary Reena had grown up with 'Proper' upbringing and although it seemed to have had no effect on her at all she did at least know what to order with tea.
Finding an unoccupied spot to sit down, Aurelia tried her best to relax and ignore the unfamiliar presence of so many officers. Reena had already pulled out what seemed to be personal flask for some recess in her uniform and was adding a generous amount to her tea.
Aurelia never liked the Convoys to Liberty, let alone working so close to the LPI. It came too close to things in her past which she'd taken pains to hide.
Glacing up as the door opened again she saw a handsome young officer walk in, Reena just as quick to notice, had already sat up straighter and was watching him intently. Aurelia sighed, it was just one of those days.
