"Sure," she says easily, although she certainly would never expect or insist that he repay the favor.

The handshake goes over well, despite her initial surprise. He has human friends, she reminds herself. He'd know of plenty of Earth customs, even if no one bothered to introduce him to hot chocolate. "I've been visiting for nearly four years now, and there's still plenty that I haven't discovered," she replies, but she's sure that he'll have no trouble exploring. He seems the adventurous sort.

She slides out of her seat, taking her empty mug with her and placing it on top of a trash barrel. She waves to the barista, who smiles at her briefly before returning to his work. Considering his otherwise stoic expression, he might as well have come around the counter and hugged her goodbye.
