‎"Hey, Lon'qu, can you help me out please? My hands are full and this person literally ordered every item on the menu." Robin shouted, pointing at the red head who was eye balling her.

Lon'qu turned to face his friend of sorts, giving her his usual cold expression, before his gaze landed on the teen. "Everything on the menu?"

"Yeah, hey, I'm right here you know, and I have school so could we make this quick? I need at least an hour to taste everything and see what I like most." The boy said, sighing while he propped himself against the counter.

It proved Lon'qus teenager theory instantly.

"Look kid, calm down, we're on it alright." Robin huffed, glancing at Lon'qu pleadingly.

"Sure thing sweet stuff." He said to Robin, winking her way.

"Shut up." Was all Lon'qu said, glaring at the teenager on the other side of the counter, following behind Robin about four feet.

"Ugh, just my luck. That kid is going to wear me out and we just opened up." Robin sighed, getting out some cups and filling them up, "does he even have money for this? He's probably using his parents credit card."

Lon'qu was silent, listening to Robin as she ranted about the behavior of the teen at the counter. He was more interested in just getting the job done and shoving him outside.

Robin appeared next to him for a moment, reaching beside him to grab a few lids. "Sorry." She huffed, giving him a warm smile. He simply nodded. They had been working together for quite some time now and so Lon'qu didn't have much of a problem with her.

The first day they had started working together she threw rocks at him because he "couldn't work with women." She ended up forcing him to like it, and in the end, he did.

They were quite a team really. The two of them even volunteered to team up with one another for charity events in the area. Of course, when it came to chess matches, that was all Robin. Lon'qu was just moral support.

The two of them placed all the drinks on a trey and carried them over to the kid who was still waiting at the counter.

"Here is your drinks. Now pay and leave." Lon'qu said, his eyes narrowed down at the cute red head.

Uhm, no. Not cute. Uh. Bothersome. Yes. Bothersome.

He grinned and handed over a credit card (Robin was right he guessed) and began balancing the cups on one another before slowly carrying them out the door.

Lon'qu huffed, both amused and impressed by his actions. When he came back for trip two, Lon'qu handed him back the card before saying, "Be careful with those."

The kid laughed, "Oh don't worry old man, I will. " he winked and moved along.

Lon'qu had a feeling he would be back.
