Shane winced as he heard the dishes crash to the tile floor of his work place. The noise reverberated in his sensitive ears and he hated it. He wished he could cover them and block everything out until it stopped bouncing around in his head, but that would draw attention to himself with how long that would take. Instead, He held it in and looked over at the young waitress who had tripped and dropped the dishes. He frowned a little, knowing things like this happened all the time here, but only after he started work there. He couldnāt help but feel a little responsible.
It took him a second to realize she was going to try to pick a few pieces up by hand, which likely wouldnāt end well. Quickly, he went and grabbed the dustpan and broom and brought it out to her, deciding to help her clean when she seemed to be extremely greatful for. Once it was up, she gave him a smile of thanks and he returned it politely and put away the supplies afterwards and returned to doing his job at the cafe of taking and sometimes running the orders. It allowed him to practice his English and keep an eye out for any shadow fox hunters that may come through.
Right now they were in what he liked to callāDead Hoursā in which few people, if any, come in and the employees get to do whatever basically until people get off work and come around. He didnāt have much to do during these hours. Usually heād tune his hearing in to listen to the news from the tv in the corner and go over different English words in his head. Occasionally heād talk with whoever he was working with during his shift, but that wasnāt very often as he didnāt want to make friends with anyone since heād likely have to leave them later.
He sighed as that thought crossed his mind and shook his head. He tuned his hearing to the news as a distraction and began cleaning the counters and tables for what was probably the second time.
āIn other news, another young woman was found in her home dead of what authorities are calling an vicious animal attack. One of our journalists, however, has said that the doors were locked from the inside, so how the animal got in we donāt know. Weāll keep you updated on the case as it goes-ā Shane shook his head. He could only imagine what kind of animal was out there killing people. He didnāt understand how it was able to get to people, but then again he didnāt know much about animals. For all he knew, there could be one smart enough to be able to get into a home and kill someone and he just didnāt know about it, but then why would the authorities be so baffled then? He shrugged and stopped his cleaning when he heard the bell above the door ring. He headed over to the register and gave the man who had entered a smile.
āWelcome to Cafe Luna, how can I help you?ā He asked, knowing that line by heart so it was the easiest for him to say in English, though his strange accent still came out slightly as he spoke.
