Welcome Committee

[sumarusfinest]

There's been so many fresh faces to the Nexus recently, and more than a few of them have been children. Questions about finding a way home, about trying to decide if they want to go home. People wondering what to do now...

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several caraffes of coffee, breakfast pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

"Meet and Greet"

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? Have any questions about the nexus?"

Koller seems understanding enough, and he looks at the food in his hand and then to the book again. "Don't worry, there's plenty of places to sit." He turns around and he goes to find another open seat with someone.

He never will push himself to sit with someone who doesn't feel comfortable with anyone. It is just rude.

Expecting him to sit down regardless, when Koller excuses himself, Esther actually looks up and watches him leave. She did want to left alone, but the fact he didn't act affronted by her lack of interest in his company is refreshing.

Refreshing and very much appreciated.

And it's his understanding that has her doing something she usually wouldn't dream of; approaching his new table sometime later. She's long since finished eating and gotten a few more chapters under her belt, but now she has a fresh cup of coffee in hand, and an anxiety level at a solid 7 1/2. She waits for him to notice her, coffee slightly out held, not wanting to make herself known first.

"..Did you, ah..did you maybe want this?"

He is used to having to having to eat by himself ever since the Aug Insident, so this is nothing new to him. But Koller isn't looking to make anyone feel uncomfortable, so as he sits at his table he looks up to see Esther again with a surprised look on his face.

"Uh, sure. Again, I'm very sorry for interrupting your good book. And, yes, I've read the trilogy before. Good stuff." Koller reaches his hand out for the coffee. "If you want to have a seat...eh...feel free. Or not."

Koller still doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so he doesn't make an effort to make her stay at his table if she doesn't want to.

Putting the coffee down in front of him, her hands are quick to retreat into her hoodie pockets. She doesn't look at Koller, but as she reaches the end of her apology, she does take a seat at the table. There's a couple of chairs between them, but it's a start.

"No worries..sorry about before. I can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, it's nothing personal."

[zombots]

He takes the coffee in that she puts in front of him, and he listens to her admitting to being a bitch and not to take it personal, Vaclav looks to the coffee and he watches her body language. In the two years, he's spent underground, and ventures to the surface of Prague have been met with this type of discomfort and in turn, he feels a little awkward.

"Okay. I suppose."

And Vaclav isn't sure what to say to her. At least he doesn't want to draw unwanted attention to himself. So, he puts the cup of coffee back down, and he looks at his plate of half finished food. "I'll be back, I want to get some more of the sausage." Vaclav tries to play it cool as he gets up from his seat to help himself to some more food or maybe find a table with less awkwardness.

He's an aug, so he gets it so he goes to find another seat after he helps himself.
