There's quite a bit of sniffling coming from one of the booths.

There's a boy curled up in the back of said booth, looking rather disgruntled and tearstained.

And pissy.

He's usually pissy.

sniffle sniffle

He's been there all day, it's bordering on rediculous.

He was really leaving.

Really. But then there was a sad looking boy.

So he walks over, sitting some distance away. "Would you like some tea?"

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

Silence. Where the hell'd this guy come from?

Then, finally,

"...Why not?"

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

Lawrence is a sneaky, sneaky man.

"British, or ..." He waves his hand. He might offer a small smile.

"Green tea."

That's the only kind of tea worth drinking.

He sits up.

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

"All right."

Perfectly fine with Lawrence. He motions for a waitrat and orders - a cup of English for himself, and green tea for the young man.

"Biscuit?"

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

Er... what?

"Fine. Food is good."

Free food at least. He hadn't counted on not being able to get ahold of the family's money from this hellhole place.

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

A small nod.

The waitrat comes back with a tray of cookies and the cups of tea.

"I'm afraid I have to be going, actually - after my tea."

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

"No problem."

He sips the tea, then figures he should probably try to be polite.

"Thanks for the tea."

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome. Do feel better, hm?"

He sips his own quietly.

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

"I don't need your sympathy."

Not that he won't take it, but he'll make sure you're not looking before he does.

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

"I give out tea and biscuits, not sympathy."

He's sneakier about that. Maybe.

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

"Good. I think we're on the same page then."

Or something like that. He's not too good with these figures of speech.

[almost-arabian.livejournal.com]

Lawrence nods.

He's never been much on figures of speech. "I think so."

He's finished up with his tea, so he begins to stand. "If you would please excuse me.."

[zodiacgod.livejournal.com]

"Go right ahead."

Maybe they'll meet again. We'll see.
