The group was sitting on wooden chairs facing each other with a metal table separating them, inside a small shop barely the size of an average room with only 5 seating places like this.
No one spoke, just staring at each other with their own thoughts running wild, while outsiders stared at them like watching a circus.
A young boy with a cheerful smile approached them, "So, what will you gentlemen like aye?" His voice is highly energetic.
"Five hot coffees, and Osh baby pancakes, same number please." Johan replied in an equally cheerful voice, his eyes emotionless, but his lips smiling.
The boy nodded repeatedly, the smile never left his face as he placed five metal cups on the table—one in front of each of them, while placing a metal jug filled to the top with water in the center.
"Just tell me James, I would really prefer getting over this sooner than later." Velmire spoke with a forced smile, chugging down the cup of water Orihime filled for him.
