"Of course not. At least, when you use sanctioned portals. The black market ones… leave something to be desired." Hinata yawned. She usually didn't get up this early, but she wanted a head-start on her vacation.

Lana nodded. “Well at least I would guess it’s interesting,” she added, trying to imagine what it would be like.

"It is, for a while." Hinata shrugged.
"Until someone tries to burn you for being a witch the fiftieth time around."

Lana shuddered. "Yikes! Some dimensions must not be as civilized then, if they're out there trying to burn witches." Changing the topic, she asked, "Any idea when this place opens?"

"No idea." Hinata looked at the door, trying to see if there was a sign with the store times. She didn't see any.

"I would kill for a coffee right now," Lana sighed. "I mean, not literally, of course." She laughed softly. "What's your beverage of choice?"

"Sake or Earl Grey. It depends on when I wake up." Hinata stretched.
"Right now, it would be Earl Grey."

Lana nodded. She was fairly certain Earl Grey was tea. “That sounds good; I don’t often drink tea myself though.”

"It makes you look sophisticated. Especially when you do it in fancy china cups." Hinata giggled. She mimed taking a sip, holding her pinkie up.

Lana giggled too. “A spot of tea, madame?” she asked, trying to mimic a posh British accent and holding up her pinky as well.

"Oh, yes please, madame," Hinata said in a perfect accent.
"One lump, not two." She burst into laughter.

Lana chuckled. “But of course,” she added, pretending to pour some tea.

Hinata's stomach growled.
"Okay, we'd better stop. I'm getting hungry now." Hinata wiped a tear from her eye when she had control of her laughter.

Lana was still laughing. “Yeah we should,” she gasped between giggles. She finally got ahold of herself and took a deep breath.

Hinata followed suit.
"You know, I've been finding myself laughing a lot more lately. I like it."

“Me too,” Lana agreed. “I laugh a lot more now than I used to as well. It’s nice. It helps relieve stress.” She sighed in contentment.

"Ah, laughter's good for the heart. Important for old geezers like me." Hinata nodded in agreement. She stretched.

Lana processed this comment, slightly confused. “How old are you…if you don’t mind me asking?” Hinata didn’t look like an old geezer. Maybe it was a dimensional traveler thing.

"Well, it's hard to explain. In simple terms, I am the oldest being. Ever." Hinata smiled.
"But magic makes me look young, no?"

Harper opened the doors with a flourish, just hearing the end of Hinata's statement. "Sorry boo, no you aren't!" He said with a cheeky grin, propping open the door.

Lana looked at the two of them, baffled. “Hello,” she stammered to the guy who had opened the door.

Xiang watched with a soft smile as Harper went to open the cafe. He was dancing around the cafe as he worked to make breakfasts and coffees and smoothies.

Hinata scoffed.
"And what makes you believe that?" Hinata walked into the cafe.

"Why me being the one who created this universe! With some help from my siblings, of course."

Hinata laughed.
"Oh, that's precious. You think this is the oldest universe." She wiped a tear from her eye.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are many dimensions older than yours."
