With another sigh, Hinata shook her head slowly. Pulling her right hand out of her pocket, she brought out a cigar.

Harper gave a nod and poured a cup of coffee from one of the cafe's coffeemaker. "Sugar, sugar?" He asked, not missing out on the chance to miss the use of a pun. They came to rarely and were often missed.

Xiang nods sleepily. "Yes please." He says quietly, wrapping his arms around his waist. He smiled at the other. He loved it when Harper used puns. It was rather adorable to him. He less back against the counter and stretched a tint bit, hearing a small pop in his back.

Puffing lightly, Hinata pulled the cigar out of her mouth. Exhaling, she was engulfed with the smooth smoke. She sighed in relief.
"Maybe nothing bad will happen this vacation."

"Okay Darling, we need to open up soon. I want to see what exciting people come in today!" Harper said, clapping happily after he handed Xiang his coffee. "Also, I added a bit of cinnamon and milk, the way I made it before and you said you liked it, I think."

He smiles and kisses the others cheek. "Thank you, my love." He smiles and sips at his coffee, grateful to get his morning coffee. "Where would I be without you?" He asks, before stretching. He relaxed and smiles at the other. "It's delicious. Thank you."

Harper returned the smile as he walked over to the oven and pulled out the pastries they would be selling today. None of the workers would arrive till later so he and Xiang would work the first shift alone.

(Question: When do they open?)
Hinata continued to smoke, not caring for much. She felt her phone vibrate.
"Great. It's probably my boss." She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.

(Thanks!)

Hinata looked at her phone. It was a text from her husband.
"The next time these barbarians try to take away your vacation, I'm going to bite their ears off," She read aloud.
"Oh, Daniel," she whispered, "I'm sure you will." She sent him a sarcastic emoji. Sighing, she started walking again.

Aza jumped off the roof and walked along the street. Spotting a cafe, she sat on a bench nearby, waiting for it to open.

Xiang walks upstairs to their apartment, getting ready quickly. He got dressed in a neat button up white shirt, black dress pants and shoes. He puts his hair in a simple over the shoulder braid and returns to the cafe to help. He kisses Harper's cheek.

Hinata took her cigar out of her mouth. Her stomach growled.
"I guess I better look for someplace to eat." She started scanning the stores around her. Selecting one, she stood by the door, waiting for it to open.

Lana was taking a walk, admiring the city. She tried not to look too out of place, though huge throngs of people weren’t what she was used to. She had her own phone now and was wearing a lilac tank top, jeans, sneakers, and a leather jacket. Her long hair was in a ponytail, and it swished satisfyingly behind her as she walked. Noticing a cafe, she paused, looking to see if it would open soon.

Hinata put out her cigar. She didn't want people to realize it hadn't burned away at all while she was smoking it. She placed it and her phone back in her pocket. She looked around. A girl in a lilac tank top was looking at the cafe.
"Maybe this place is good. It might have been worth it to arrive before it opened."

“Yeah?” Lana replied to the girl already standing outside the cafe. “I hope so. I’m starving.” She was quite hungry, and werewolves always seemed to have an appetite as far as she had experienced, herself included. “I’m Lana, by the way. What’s your name?”

"Hinata. Nice to meet you." Hinata sensed Lana wasn't human, but she didn't really care. She pulled out a protein bar.
"To tide you over?"

“Thanks,” she said, taking it with a hint of suspicion that she masked with surprise. She wolfed it down, slightly embarrassed when all that was left was the wrapper. “Do you always carry protein bars with you?” she teased good-naturedly.

"Always. You never know when they might save your life." Hinata looked around.
"Not like there's much like that in this world. The supernatural, I mean." She winked, letting Lana know she didn't think that at all.

Lana smiled. “I see,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt that they taste good as well.”

"Yes." Hinata looked around. Seeing no one was looking at them, Hinata leaned over.
"So, tell me. I can sense you aren't human. What are you then? Not meaning to be rude, of course." Hinata let a little of her energy flow out of her hand.
"After all, not everything is as it seems."

Lana glanced around as well, and while she didn’t necessarily want to shout her species to the rooftops, she wasn’t afraid of people overhearing her. She was sure she wasn’t the only werewolf in existence, or probably even in the city. “I’m a werewolf,” she said. “And you?”

"Dimensional Traveler. I'm here on vacation." Hinata glanced around.
"This place is lucky." She sighed, pulling out her phone and showing Lana a picture.
"This is the world I live in." She carefully chose these words, so Lana wouldn't think she was from this place. The picture showed a pretty suburb. It could have been from this world, but there were two suns.

“Cool,” Lana said, noting the two suns in the picture. “Have you been to a lot of dimensions then?”

"Yes, many. It comes with the job." Hinata spit the word job out as if it were venomous.
"I prefer my vacations more."

“I would imagine,” Lana agreed. She noticed the way that Hinata nearly spit the word “job” with curiosity but didn’t press it. “I can’t imagine what it would be like to travel between dimensions. It doesn’t hurt, does it?”
