Aster's POV

"Hello, welcome to Guardian Cafe, what can I get you?" The white haired waiter asks.

I hand him the menu whilst giving him my order. "I'll have an expresso and a slice of carrot cake."

Taking the menu, he writes my order down. "Alrighty then! I'll be back with your order, Mr...?"

"Bunnymund." I reply.

He looks at me in shock. "Bunnymund?" Giggling, the waiter continues. "What kind of name is Bunnymund?"

I swear under my breath lightly. "Look mate, ya gonna get me my order or not?" I ask, my accent becoming heavier.

Grinning in mirth, he waves his notepad at me. "Sure thing, Bunny." He chuckles whilst shaking his head. "Bunny? More like Kangaroo."

Staring after him in shock, I scowl at his receding back.

'The bloody hell was that?'

Shaking my head, I reach for my satchel to pull out my notepad and pencil.

'Time to get to work.'

I don't know how long I was there for, but when the little wanker finally got back with my order I was almost done with my drawing.

"Here ya go, Kangaroo." He says as he sets the mug and plate down in front of my. He glances at my drawing and stares at it in wonder.

"Whoa," he breathes "did you do that just now?"

Scowling, I close my notebook before he can get a good look at it. "What of it, mate?"

Grinning, he shakes his head and gestures to my closed notepad. "It's just amazing." He gives me a sincere smile that throws me off. "I'd love to see your other drawings, if you have the time that is."

Staring at him in shock, I shake my myself out if it and rub the back of my neck. "Well... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to show you a bit."

Perking up, he smiles at me happily. "Cool!" He turns to leave, but then stops. "Um, my names Jack by the way." He stretches a hand out to me. "Jack Frost."

Staring at his hand, I grin and shake it. "Aster, Aster E. Bunnymund."
