tune

(timeskip to arrival)
Aspen hummed an Imagine Dragons tune under his breath as he finished putting the sandwiches in the fridge, turning to grab a Turkey Club and carefully locking the front door with a feminine flick of the wrist. He turned off the neon 'open' sign and danced like a white kid across the shoppe to the back door, where his Land Rover sat parked on the other side.

"Pattycakes, I didn't know we were going to see Aspen, why didn't ya warn a guy?" Jay asked as the vehicle came to a stop. He was nervous, Jay hadn't seen Aspen for some time.

Alaria stifled a laugh, her southern seeping in again, "Pattycakes? Did I hear that right? Where'd you pull that one from, Jay?"

She hopped off the bus as it pulled up, helping Patagonia down.

Lucia walked out of the bus slowly, staying behind Patagonia in case she fell over. Once off the bus, she put an arm around Patagonia and led her to a bathroom. "Still feeling nauseous?"

Before Patagonia could reply, she keeled over and vomited into the toilet. "I- Ugh…"

Seeing a giant army bus thing in his parking lot, Aspen gently shut the door behind him and approached Alaria. "H-hello? Can I help you?"

Alaria turned her gaze to the stranger, "Our friend is in a bit of distress, and we're looking for some guy named Aspen at a coffee shop. Any clue?"

"Um… Hello, then! I'm Aspen. Who's looking for me?"

Alaria gestured to all the members as she introduced them, starting with herself, "Alaria Echo, commander of the Serathem Battalion; Patagonia, Lucia…" she hesitated, remembering Jay's nervous words earlier, but decided to continue, "…and Jay."

"Patagonia? Dang. I thought when we broke up that she'd given up on me. Did you say Jay? Jay Dun?" Aspen glanced hopefully at the one named Jay but his face fell when he didn't see his lover. "Oh… Yeah, come on in."

(I is confused, but ok…)
Alaria and Lucia each helped Patagonia get to her feet, and slowly followed Aspen to the shop.

"So, um…" Alaria started, "…you know him?"

"Umm… Yes, he's- He's my ex-boyfriend." Patagonia felt weak and shaky at the mention of his name, forget the nausea she felt in that moment. "He's a good guy, I promise."

Alaria smirked, but didn't push the topic further. Instead, Alaria focused on Lucia, who's neon eyes seemed an emerald green in the sun. She stood on Patagonia's other side, moving her along slowly and with a kind look on her face. She cared just as much about Patagonia as Alaria did.

But why? Alaria thought, pausing a moment. Why is she still here?
Alaria thought on this a moment, unintentionally staring off into space.

Jay led the group, holding the door open for the ladies to pass through, of course after waving at Aspen. He filed in after them, pointing the women to the restroom where they were assisting Patagonia too. He went to the counter, smiling sheepishly at the guy. "Hey," he greeted him.

"H-hello. Want anything to at, drink?" Aspen replied, strictly businesslike.

Jay's brows stitched together for a moment. "..Aspen?" he pretended to read the tag. Was he angry? Why didn't he greet him as he used to? "The usual please," Hoping that his friend would snap into a more friendly demeanor, because of course Aspen knew he only drank black coffee, usually with an extra kick.

Aspen didn't even need to make it. "Look in the fridge. I've been waiting."

Jay swallowed, nodding. He slowly sauntered over to the fridge, pulling it out and smelling the nice roast. He gave Aspen a quick pat on the shoulder, he seemed nervous. "You okay buddy?"

"I'm fine, just thinking." (what if the other thread is in the past and Jay is the same dude, but he left Aspen for Patagonia?)

(No, it's fine, just wanted clarification.)
Jay sighed, moving back to his side of the counter, resting his arms on the counter. "Want to.. talk? While it's just us guys?" he looked up at the guy, then down at his coffee.
