To a cafe! I just finished my daily running, so I was going to get something sweet to drink.

-- Ah! Since you helped me, you should come too! I'll get you something to thank you for helping me!

[witnessthestars]

[...well, who is he to refuse? He's a crochety old man relative to his fellow Express passengers, but 'crochety' doesn't mean 'out of touch'.]

Maybe I will. It's not often that I get to connect with the younger generation. [Even if he did keep in touch plenty with the Bronya he knows, but that's a whole other thing connected to their shared title.

After checking everything, from his phone to his cane, to see if everything's in order, he straightens out.] Lead the way.

[rockedsnowball]

I'm glad!

[She's all smiles as she leads the way...]

Oh, by the way, what's your name? I'm Xue.

[witnessthestars]

Welt Yang -- just call me whatever you're comfortable with. Whatever the case, it's good to meet you.

[Welt falls into step with her, taking the time to adjust for how quickly she's going.

Or how slow, whatever the case might be.] Is there anything you can recommend from this cafe we're going to? If you need a frame of reference, I tend towards having a good cup of coffee to start the day.

[rockedsnowball]

Got it! Mr. Yang!

[She's moving... pretty relaxed, but not like someone who just got concussed. She really does seem sturdy.]

I'm more of a soda person than a coffee person, but I've heard they make great coffee! I know another guy who's always tired and I've seen him do some complicated orders, and they seem to manage it fine...

[witnessthestars]

[--oh. Somewhere, March is feeling like her schtick was just stolen... well, he'll let it pass.]

It sounds like I can trust the quality of their brew.

[...the lack of proper concussion signs both assures and worries him. There's being a Trailblazer, nevermind a Herrscher, and then there's this girl... He can't help but monitor her even as he continues the discussion.]

It's not often that I get opportunities to these days. A friend of mine has... we'll say 'unique' taste when it comes to brewing hers.

[He's not speaking from experience, he swears on his Core.]

[rockedsnowball]

[Xue nods, grinning.]

I could never get used to the taste of it... Even if you put in enough sugar and creamer, it's still bitter, so I just drink something that's sweet f-

[No concussion, no injury... in fact, she's fine, even as-

A passing bicyclist sort of plows her over, sending her spinning aside into Welt.]

[witnessthestars]

[--oh, good grief. Welt, for his part, saw the bike coming and tried to pull her back, but... well, that happened.

He's already catching her, pulling her to safety after she gets slammed into, and checking her for injuries.]

Hey! Are you okay!?

[He gets the sudden feeling he's going to be asking this question a lot.]

[rockedsnowball]

[She's bleeding a little, but other than that...]

Ah- Sorry to worry you! I'm fine!

[She's trying to stand back up already... She really does seem ridiculously durable.]
