==========

[ For the most part, Flynt had been doing alright for himself so far in this place. Chatted up a few folks, more or less made amends with a certain Schnee, managed to snag an apartment in Genessia City... once he found some stable employment, he'd pretty much be set. Not living rich or super fancy, but set enough to get by. Today? Today he's going to see about making a living as a musician, somewhere. Somehow.

But first he needs some coffee. Can't get anything done when you're only half-awake, right?

It's completely on a whim that he settles on the Cat's Eye Cafe - maybe the feline theme reminds him of his partner, who he admittedly misses pretty badly. He wasn't worried about her, exactly - she was doing just fine last time he'd seen her, if not completely exhausted - but it's tough being separated from a good friend so suddenly. Regardless, for one reason or another he decides this is where he's going to grab his morning fuel, so he ducks inside to head up towards the counter. There's no one there right off the bat - maybe they're in the back? - so for now he just takes a look at the menu hanging up. Might not be a bad idea to get some breakfast, too...

So there he is. A man wearing sunglasses even though he's inside. WhoEVER might come out to help him? ]

[Ever since coming back, Pyrrha hasn't been feeling up to much. She knew what was awaiting her, but even so, it was still hard to deal with. Work was fairly normal at least and it was able to keep her mind off of the subject for a while anyways. Seeing someone come in, she finished up cleaning a table off and wiping it down. She didn't quite catch just who it was right away, but once she came back out to check on them, she tilted her head to the side slightly. Well, whatever.]

Hello! Welcome to the Cat's Eye Cafe. Is there anything that I can start you out with? [Pen ready to write down his order. Although she wasn't feeling particularly cheery, she was able to manage enough while at work. So more than cheerful, her tone of voice rang more tired than anything.]

[ How he hadn't seen her right there was just a testament to how badly he needed this coffee - he isn't always a morning person, but today felt especially draining. But as his gaze turns to the young woman addressing him, he finds himself waking up almost immediately. He'd heard she was here, and clearly... well, she was, but still.

Thankfully his shades block her from seeing the uncertainty in his eyes, because what do you say to a girl who freaking died? ]

... Coffee. Black, please.

[ First things first - finish waking up. ]

I'm like, ninety-nine percent sure, but just to be clear - Pyrrha Nikos, right?

[Yeah.... Everyone is having that trouble these days, even her. Nodding, she wrote it down.]

Okay! Coming right up! [She was about to go get it when she heard him speak up again.] Yeah, that's me.

Cool. Flynt Coal - you know, I've seen you on the cereal boxes. Never thought I'd meet you face to face.

[ He shoots a crooked grin at her - he has a lot of questions about what had happened, what she had seen, things about Cinder--

but it really wasn't his place to ask. He was better at smoothing things over than he was at digging for information, anyway. Honestly, the last thing she probably needs is one more person prodding her to talk about what had to be the worst experience of her life. ]

[You know... That's enough to get a small chuckle and a faint smile at least.]

It's nice to meet you, Flynt. You were pretty amazing during the tournament.

Mmm... It was pretty cool. Sadly the cereal itself isn't all that healthy.

[ Hey, it's something. Seems like everyone could use a smile right about now. ]

Yeah... not amazing enough, but that's the way it goes. Win some, lose some. Your team had some... interesting strategies, I saw.

[ He tries not to think too much on the later matches - when everything had turned for the worse. Stay positive, keep the good vibe rolling. ]

You're telling me! I got hooked on the stuff and ended up with cavities.

You still did a great job. [She ended up chuckling again to that] Yeah, I guess it was interesting. None of us knew what Jaune was talking about then, but certainly made for an interesting scene.

[Thanks, Flynt. Positive was always the best way to go about it.]

I'm sorry to hear about that then. [But that small smile says otherwise. She'll go grab his coffee at least and come back to set it down in front of him.] Is there anything else you'd like?

[Not that she doesn't like talking with him.]

Well, I guess confusing the other team into lowering their guard could be seen as its own kind of strategy, right?

[ As if that's what Jaune was actually going for.

He pauses for a second, glancing over the menu. Right, right, he needed something to eat, too. ]

Could use a bite to eat. What would you recommend?

I think it did the trick in the end. [That and Nora is a beast] Well, for breakfast food, the bagels are pretty good.

Hey, whatever works, right? A win is a win.

[ ... that, and yes. Nora is a beast. ]

Then I'll take one of those. If you got cream cheese, that'd be great.

Alright! Coming right up then.

[She'll leave to get that for him... And look! There is cream cheese!]

Have you settled in okay so far?

[ There's a part of him that's still thrown about the fact that Pyrrha Nikos, world-renowned fighter, is making him a bagel.

Life is weird sometimes. ]

As best I can, mostly. Figuring out work-related stuff, but doing alright other than that. Still kind of a weird situation to wrap my head around, you know?

[When life hands you a world renowned fighter, have them make bagels for you.]

Yeah... I think.. we're all doing that right now for various reasons.

[ He shrugs a bit. ]

Well, what's the alternative, right? Stand around and do nothing? Not really my style, and it doesn't seem to be everyone else's, either.

I would rather keep myself busy too. Life here... is strangely more inviting than back home for obvious reasons. [That and she can actually live a life here]

... Yeah, I hear you on that.

[ A pause, as he sips from his coffee. Plenty of reasons this place might be more inviting than home, really.

Then again, given who's apparently here, maybe not, too. ]

Hey, speaking of keeping busy here - I'm thinking about throwing a band together. You play anything?

[Considering how slow it was right now, she could afford to take a seat for a little while.]

Really? That sounds like a great idea. I don't have any experience with any instruments, but it sounds like it would be fun.
