Money is not everything but it is a lot of other things.
The man at the till asked for seven hundred yen. It sounded like a lot - certainly, in her world it was - and Korra began yelling. It was a rip off - the tea probably wasn't even that good.
But then she noticed that at least half of the people here weren't rich, and surely they couldn't all afford to be paying that much...
Unless it really wasn't that much.
She groaned - everybody was watching; a bad impression already. At this rate she would never get a job, not with the reputation she would get.
With a groan she muttered a quick apology and looked for the nearest empty booth. There wasn't one, so she went for second best - the table at the very back, with four seats and only one person. She knew the moment she saw him that he wasn't going to talk much at all.
When she sat opposite him, she didn't she him move. She swore you couldn't even see him breathe. He just sat there, sometimes pouring a sachet of sugar and stirring it.
It was a lot of sugar.
"You really like your sugar, huh?"
A/N: there should be two more chapters up tomorrow. Thanks for reading and please review!
