E: "Hi, can I take your - Aeryn?"
A: "Eli! I didn't know you work here?"
E: "Yeah, as of Saturday, forgot to tell you."
A: "What made you want to work in a coffee shop, then?"
E: "Y'know that stuff I said about going on a road trip around the world? Yeah, I realised that in order to do that I'll need driving lessons and a vehicle, meaning I actually need to earn money because mum thinks I need to assume responsibility in my life."
A: "Sounds like fun."
E: "So what are you doing here?"
A: "Me and my dad meet here after school and when he finishes work on Tuesdays. We drink coffee and talk."
E: "Don't tell me you drink all the boring drinks like just coffee?"
A: "Yeah?"
E: "There's a huge menu of really exotic drinks here and you go for plain coffee?"
A: "Exotic, yeah right."
E: "Just choose from this menu."
A: "Fine. Okay, I'll have...that one."
E: "That one?"
A: "Yeah."
E: "You do realise that on that list there are a lot of drinks and you saying 'that one' and pointing does not tell me which one you want."
A: "I can't pronounce it!"
E: "Never mind. Just go and sit down and I'll bring you something."
A: "..."
E: "Okay, so here's your drink."
A: "What is it?"
E: "It's a surprise."
A: "Eli-"
E: "Try it."
A: "It looks-"
E: "Drink."
A: "Okay!"
E: "Taste good?"
A: "That's amazing!"
E: "Yeah, I was made for this job, I am the top drink producer, the beverage boss, the coffee king, the-"
A: "That guy is shouting at you to go back to work."
E: "Oh, yeah. Working is probably a good idea."
