Thank you. I made sure that it would suit my taste, and for those who appreciate a good amount of elegance.

[ having tea in a diner hidden away from the public eye isn't new to him, but if he's stuck in this world for a while then he will make do with what he can. his little place in the world that's his. the old apartment he's already moved out of and into a better one that he's able to add additional structure to. can't be too careful with the various people he's seen so far.

august raises a hand towards the host who almost leaves, but they lean in and say, "Yes, sir?"

Bring out the prepared tower. [ "Yes, sir." says the host as they leave towards the counter. august turns back towards mia. ] Please, Miss Allen, have a seat. I've prepared this set myself — aside from the scones that is, but it's my recipe anyway.

[ it isn't long until a waiter arrives with a three tier tower. the same exact design other patrons of the cafe have: three tiers of food fit for afternoon tea. the first layer consists of five different sandwiches, the crusts cut off and placed neatly aside from the fifth that rests above the four with the flavors: coronation chicken, egg salad with cress, smoked salmon with lemon butter, cucumber with mint and dill cream cheese, and finally cured ham and mustard. the second tier has two kinds of scones — plain and with raisins — alongside strawberry jam and cream set in place. the third and final tier are the baked goods that he creates a few hours back. ]

Is that your work in your hands?
