Nic’s tone continued to make Adi cringe, visibly. Their eyes narrowed and their nose wrinkled. They couldn’t think of way to salvage this conversation. You don’t get a second chance on a first impression and all that and they felt like they were really botching this chance. “It’s not like that,” they defended, voice cracking in a way that was just barely noticeable. Their throat always seemed to dry up with they were nervous. It was entirely possible the could have continued to stumble over their own words for an indeterminate amount of time, but Nic confirmed that he would take them back to work.
Turning on their heel and keeping their head down they trotted out of the coffee shop ahead of Nic his insistence, but that didn’t stop them from hearing the barista’s parting words.
They walked together, and when Nic asked about the coffee Andi realized they hadn’t even tried their own drink yet. “Oh,” the murmured as they looked down to the cup they held as if they had forgotten about it. They took a tentative sip of the hot beverage. “It’s good,” they replied. And it was, sort of, even though they didn’t prefer plain black coffee.
“So, uh. What that barista said? About the queen? What did they mean?”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
