"I heard... So without further ado, lets get some coffee. I'm not sure why, but I feel like its been forever.... After you, ma'am."

Lark chuckled, did a small, joking curtsy, and stepped into the cafe. She had taken only a few steps into the cafe when she was greeted by a large, Hawaiian man standing in front of her, glowering at Zach. Lark stopped short, stumbling back a bit as the man squinted at Zach, not noticing her. Lark recognized him as the man who had worked there as a waiter while she was a waitress. Lark thought it ironic that she had bumped into Laney and now literally bumped into the teddy bear of a man, Chris, or as she referred to him, "Kiku".

Chris continued to glare at Zach as he spoke."Hey bud, I don't know what your problem is, but ya gotta get outa here," he stated angrily.

Lark only smiled a bit at him. "Eh, Kiku!"

The man finally looked down at her with confusion, before a smile spread across his tanned face. "Dat ain't my Kika, is it?" Chris asked in his heavily accented voice. Lark smiled, but didn't get to answer as Chris leaned down and grabbed hold of her shoulders, shaking her slightly. "It is Kika! Ya grown since I saw ya."

Lark chuckled. "You've grown too." Lark laughed a little bit and then pointed over her shoulder at Zach. "That one's with me."

Chris nodded with a booming laughed and looked up at Zach. "Sorry, 'bout dat, bra. If you're with Kika, ya can stay." Chris proceeded to show them to a booth near the back of the cafe. He nodded at looked over at Lark. "Coffee. Cream, two sugars." Lark nodded with a small smile back at him as he looked over at Zach. "Anything for ya?"
