[cassian is familiar enough with the coffee making routine that it never feels like a wait. even if it was a long order, he's patient. they seem new at this job from the way they're slightly more careful about making sure everything is correct, but nothing seems wrong enough.]

[he puts coffee cup sleeves on both before taking them, the nods.] I hope so too, thank you.

[the fact that it's slow and no one else is around makes him feel better about making any sort of further conversation. he knows baristas get busy and don't care most of the time, but this one seems more more chatty than others.] Do you mind if I ask if you are new here? [a beat.] To the cafe, but I suppose it applies could apply to the Quarantine. I just have not seen you here before.

[he frequents a couple cafes tbh.]
