Day 7: Eastbell,Icewynne,Notsuoh lounge and bar,Waiting Tables,Dark Hour

Waiting wasn't a new experience for Arsen, his mother owned a small bakery called La Saborista. He helped out a lot during the summer and occasionally on weekends when he wasn't at a protest, march, or rally.

"Would you like light or heavy ice with your drink?"

He smiled at the couple seated in front of him.

"See I'd recommend heavy because it may be September but it's still really hot outside and you get free refills so it doesn't even matter that the ice is taking up most of the space. You know what? how about I do this for you." 

He filled up the couple's cups with ice and then filled a separate cup with their beverages. "Bam! Is my name Hannah Montanna? 'Cuz you just got the best of both worlds!"

The couple grinned clearly amused by his charm. Before making his way towards the bar, he turned and flashed a pair of finger guns, "Hey let me know when you need me to top off your glasses I'm more than happy to visit the best couple in the building!"

In ten minutes flat he had nearly cleared the entire floor taking everyone's orders. He glanced at his wrist where he spotted a number written in glowing text, Ƀ 40. He looked up from his wrist and spotted Snow clad in a matching suit and tie, with a fuchsia glow. "Hey Snow check this out I think I just made money!"

His face faltered when he saw her in a slump

"Hey, you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"You sure you don't need help? You've been standing in that same spot for the past ten minutes and you haven't taken anyone's orders."

Arsen found it amusing how timid Snow was when it came to people. When she wasn't scolding him, or staring daggers at him, or of course kicking him in the shins. Snow was actually really awkward when it came to socializing with strangers, and Arsen was determined to fix that.

"I could wait a table with you."

"No that's alright."

"Come on it's almost closing just one, it'll take less than thirty minutes."

"I said I'm good."

Arsen stared at her with the biggest saddest puppy dog eyes he could muster.

"Por favor?"

"No."

"Por favor?"

"No."

"Por favor?"

"No, and stop looking at me like that, you look like a bobble head."

"........Por favoooooooooo-"

"Okay alright fine! Just promise me you'll shut up!"

"Sí!"

Arsen eagerly dragged Snow to the nearest table. There sat an old couple, they seemed nice as they waited for the two waiters to arrive.

"Good evening, My name is Shadow."

There was a slight pause in which Snow didn't respond. Arsen discreetly kicked her in the shin.

"Gyaaa! Argh!"

He smirked. Sweet sweet revenge.

"And I'm Snow...and uh...we'll be your servers today," she spoke in a shaky tone.
