Vanellope

Working in the service industry for so long, Tiana knew a thing or tow. In fact, from years helping momma pay bills after James' death, Tiana had practically all the skills of someone far older, with the wisdom ( and general stress levels ) of a thousand bill-payers. Frankly, helping other young people learn the tips and tricks was all Tiana could do nowadays - even if it was extremely difficult sometimes.

"You have to pay taxes every year, Van, it's not optional" Tiana groaned, though they kept a withered smile as they helped the younger girl, "How much do you make at the arcade?"

"Scarely enough to live..." She grumbled, "But its fine many people throw perfectly good items away."

Accepting her drink from the barista with a smile and a thank you, Aurora turned to scan the tables for somewhere to sit, just for a little while. She wasn’t ready to venture out into the cold again, not yet.

The unfortunate thing about actually taking her lunch at lunch time was that, well, it was lunch time. Most everyone else was out and about as well. And she was far from the only one who'd thought a hot drink sounded perfect with the weather, and they'd all gotten there before her, filling the tables.

Though at least one table had an empty seat.

And an occupant who didn't look too terrifying.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?"

She looked up when she heard a voice as she stared intensely at her own coffee. "Do I?" She asked leaning back and staring up "Do I..." She pondered frowning. "Well that depends.. are you going to chew loudly? Do you hum or will you tell me your life story out of no where?" She asked folding her arms. "And I hope you dont have any sort of motivational quotes stashed away because I dont want to hear it.. otherwise yes you may sit but be careful of the sticky stuff on the seat."

"What? No! Of course I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm offering to walk you home so you feel safe." Arley puffed out his chest, raising his brows in playful cockiness. "Come on, I'm going this way anyway, it'll only be weird now if you make me walk behind you." Unable to stand even a moments awkward silence, he continued his tirade. "Look, just this once, I'll even carry your things. Do we have a deal?"
