My World is burning down around me

At her reaction, he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel some gratification. Yeah, take that you Goetia turd. Dixie was always a bit of an advocate of ‘sticking it to the man’ so to speak. He might’ve even been a little more fired up, if her reaction wasn’t so…depressing.

Sitting by yourself at an empty table with a drink in your hand was…kind of sad. As a bartender, he’s seen some prime examples of this. He maybe feels just a little bad. Okay, a lotta bad. He’s got to remember this isn’t exactly Stolas he’s dealing with, and whether it’s out of fear she’ll tell him or guilt, Dixie takes several hesitant steps in her general direction.

He stands in front of her, tail holding his drink. He holds up his chalkboard. ‘My sincerest apologies. That was very rude. I should not weaponize my problems.’

Depressing was the least of the problems of the reaction. Her head would crane to look towards some of the others sitting around. Some would advert their gaze quickly, others continue about their business.

A heavy hoot-like sigh escapes her, before her neck cranes back up to glance over at the now approaching Dixie. Beak visibly forming into a small frown about to say something until eyes narrow towards the chalkboard. He...apologized? The owlette rubbed at her neck a moment. Anxiousness evident within those eyes of hers.

Eyes wince in retaliation to the abominable screech that is the squelching of rawhides eye. Feathers ruffle for a moment before Octavia would look down to the mug of coffee currently grasped within her white and grey talon-like fingers. “Coffee, salted caramel latte to be exact. You’ve...never had coffee before?” The velvet tones of Octavia’s reserved voice let out with another inquiry.
