Three Hundred Praises

It takes Miss Chievous a little while longer to compose herself, but once she does, she walks over to join Miss Masher in burning Lucas’s money. Even though she declared that Miss Calculated needs at least five drinks to get any work done tonight, two of them suspiciously end up with more sugar and dairy in them than actual coffee.

By the time Jonathan has rejoined the cafe crew, Lucas was already on the phone with Heat-Wave. He has a big smile at first, but as the excessive gratitudes drag on his expression slowly sinks.

Seeing his foster father otherwise occupied, Jonathan quickly notices the baked goods boxing in progress, as well as the two sisters ordering an inordinate amount of caffeinated beverages while the poor bot lines up the cups and marks them accordingly.

He walks over to join them, and once they’ve finally finished their 10th beverage request, he chimes in.
