"Next time I see him, I'll be sure to pretend like he's a walking enigma," Claire giggled, walking with him to the counter where their drinks would be, "Your mom is very whimsical."

"Awww, that's so cute!" Claire cooed, "That's really sweet, actually. Like, I've had him as a teacher, so I know he's not, like, tying damsels to train tracks like I presumed as a literal child, but I dunno. It's nice to know he's got an internal teddy bear."

"I just remember visiting Sloan when I was like... six? I think? And I'd look up at that big stone house, and when you're that small he blots out the sun, and I just thought he must be the evilest, scariest man in the world." She admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed to admit it. "I think I...

"That's really cool," Claire replied, "Do you know, I used to be terrified of your dad? Of your whole house, actually." Seeing Alec take out his wallet, she also reached for hers. Inside, she hoped he would pay for her, but she was not the sort to assume, and definitely didn't want him to...

"How does your dad make coffee?" Claire asked, suddenly fascinated, "I had no idea there even was a way to make coffee which made someone look like a kind of wizard."

Laughing, Claire told him, "That's how I feel about it too! I want to like it so badly, but I don't at all! My sister keeps telling me it's an acquired taste, but I don't think I have it in me to acquire it."

"I only like it iced," Claire said while they got in line, "Have you ever had matcha?"

"I think I'm going to get a green tea with passion fruit boba," Claire said, after thinking about it for a little bit, "I really like fruity drinks."

"I guess that makes sense. I mean, you can't block out sounds as easily as you can sounds or sights," Claire mused, thinking about it and unconsciously squeezing Alec's arm gently, "The secret is getting the taro tea with popping blueberry boba. It doesn't sound like it'd taste like fruity...

"Really?" Claire asked, curiously, "I thought she'd like them more."

"I really like it, and it's a good thing they have so many coupons," Claire replied, "Before my sister went to college we used to fight over what soap we used in the bathroom we shared. But I wish they hadn't discontinued Forever Sunshine, that one was my favourite."

"This way," Claire told him, turning left after they entered, "It's right near the Bath and Bodyworks. Do you want the secret recipe for the fruity pebbles boba?"

Normally, she had a poor opinion of men who called her 'my lady', and generally found it to be a bit cringe, but Alec was so sweet and earnest he managed to make it endearing. So, taking his arm, she tried not to look like she wanted to scream from joy, and walked with him into the mall and...

"I think it's okay," Claire told him, his obvious nervousness making her feel a bit better about her own nerves, "I'm not really all that experienced either, but... I don't mind, when you say stuff like that. Purple is my favourite colour, anyway."

"Hi," She replied, giggling good naturedly, "I'm okay. You look great! I'm, um," she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "glad that you changed after school too. I wasn't sure if I was being silly."
