The walk wasn’t far. Ren was pretty quiet, it seemed, and, she half wondered if that was normal for her. It was possible that she talked an awful lot, but rarely felt comfortable enough to do so. Ruka didn’t mind the quiet, but she was curious about what had happened to Ren. It wouldn’t be fair to push, of course.
Even so, as she tapped ash onto the sidewalk, she thought she had a pretty decent idea about how to get the young woman to open up. There was no guarantee Ren wouldn’t lie, but Ruka liked to think she was fairly good at spotting one of those. She also wouldn’t mind it too terribly if Ren did lie, but she hoped she wouldn’t.
Soon enough they were coming to the front of a little shop painted in whites and yellows with flowers growing along trellises that were framed around the windows, over a white wooden archway in front of the door. Iron tables were set about, each with a tea light in a flat-bottomed clear orb; they also had a few flowers as well, forget-me-nots and daisies in a vase. The flowers that climbed on the trellises were bougainvilleas—rightly cut and trimmed so not to grow out of control. Two colorful flowers donned the vines, blue and an almost neon pink/purple.
A small sign painted above the establishment named it simply stated Le Chef Pâtissier. Translated to—The Pastry Chef. The name came off with a bit of ego, as if to say the only one worth mentioning, but Ruka imagined the owner had done it as a tongue-in-cheek sort of thing. It also smelled amazing—the scent wafting from the open door. sugary things, baked breads, coffee too. She inhaled deeply, eyes closing.
There was only one couple out this early at a table. A man and a woman, the man reading a paper while the woman spoke to a waitress dressed in a white blouse and colorful shirt that billowed and nearly touched the ground. Ruka briefly waved as the passed to let her know she had new customers. Then she took a seat at one of the empty tables, motioning for Ren to join her directly across in the only other seat at the same table.
Idly, she tapped ash into an ashtray set on the table as well. “This should be fine, yes?” she asked, one brow arching as a barely-there smile showed, as she had her cheek resting propped on an open palm, elbow on the table--leaning just so.
