[Oh, there she is... No weird faces or anime reactions this time, Ciel blinks and gives a neutral nod in response. She has certainly not forgotten and has given up made her mental preparations, but how is she supposed to "properly" greet Cait anyway? Besides, what's with the other woman's rather forward greeting? Is it just her...?
But before she can answer, the kindly lady in apron has already piped up. Very cheerfully and warmly:]
Welcome. welcome, and good evening to you too! So you must be the friend our hard-working missus had mentioned!
Aha, um, she's more of an acquaintance--
[Ciel tries correcting to no avail, and the lady just gives her a pat on the arm and continues without missing a beat. One of those overly familiar auntie types, mmhm...]
Business has indeed been picking up, but it'll have to wait until we close to see how well we did today. Which you are here for, yes? Now take a seat, both of you! Your shift is over, Chie-chan, so make sure to get your energy back and help your friend decide what she'll get too! [That said, she turns towards the back of the store where another waitress had just finished pouring water for another pair of customers.] Kana-chan, a pair of menus here, please!
[It's answered by a "yes ma'am", and nodding with satisfaction, the middle aged lady turns towards the curtained door frame that leads to the back where the kitchen is.]
Enjoy yourselves, dearies~!
[With a wink, she disappears behind the curtains, and the waitress that was referred to as "Kana-chan" is heading their way with two menus in her arms. She's also wearing a kimono similar to what Ciel had out earlier, albeit black and less eye-catching in design.]
Would the seats here be okay?
[The waitress asks politely, gesturing towards a table for two by the wall closest the the front counter. Meanwhile, Ciel is, has been, Smiling through it all, don't mind the strangest and vaguest impression that it's one of surrender. That sure all happened Very Quickly... But the boss lady is gone, so she turns back to Caitlyn without a word. With the same smile she's wore since she's failed to correct their relationship and had been patted on the arm for her efforts. Does her friend have any objections? She'd apologize for basically trapping Cait to order something at this eatery, but at the same time, Cait kinda invited herself in first? So... 8/a]
