Snippet #2108475

As Lapis stared into space, a waiter came to take her order. He gave her a sweet smile, as all waiters did. Lapis always hoped they were sincere… Sometimes it was obvious they weren’t and others it was too hard to tell. Lapis thought that this one was.

"Welcome Miss, though I do believe I already stated that to you once. Or twice. Anywho, would you like something to drink?" He asked her. He didn’t seem to be rude or obnoxious about it.

“Oh, goodness!” She said in a hush voice. “I’m very sorry… I didn’t mean to ignore you.”

Over his shoulder, the waiter shouted, "And Karma, if you are serious about wanting a Hot Chocolate, bring some damn chocolate next time! You should know by now that we don't carry chocolate often! There are some very obvious reasons why at that...." With a pause that seemed almost suspicious, he continued, “Anybody know that Dark Chocolate is supposed to be healthier, but tastes much more bland? At least, to me anyway. Random fact." His sentences seemed rushed together.

“How strange… I actually enjoy dark chocolate very much.” She spoke slowly, as she always did. Lapis always had a tiredness about her… “By the way, do you happen to carry anything non-acoholic? A fruit drink, perhaps?”
