The little bell over the door tinkles. But is barely heard over the door being flung open and a very loud, very rowdy unexpected battle cry of "ANG-OOO!"
It's very loud. So loud it nearly- NEARLY makes Angus drop the milk he'd been frothing. He doesn't. but not everyone is so lucky with their saving throws and several drinks are split left right and centre. At least two cups are broken. The patrons are however stunned by the appearance of Magnus ruddy Burnsides to complain.
He bounds up past the queue (in a rush, obviously) and almost skids into the nearest table with his stop.
"Magnus?!" Angus startles.
"MAGNUS!" Magnus replies; leaning right over the cake domes to give Angus the biggest bear hug. Magnus does give exceedingly good hugs. But not when the huggee is holding a jug of milk. Angus fails his second save.
"How are you doing? Aw man it's so good to see you! like I know it's been only er a little while but look at you! Working again and stuff." he happily chatters, letting Angus go.
While the ceiling is charmed higher, to accommodate not just halving's, Magnus has this Brutish energy that fills the space. It's making a few customers including the gerblins in the corner nervous. It doesn't help he's got his fighter gear on and Railsplinter on his back.
"I'm fine." Angus frowns. "It's good to see you too sir… Did Taako or Lup tell you I was here today?"
"What? Nope! Carey did." Magnus said then covered his mouth realising.
"Oh shit! Yeah this was a secret wasn't it?" he grinned sheepishly. For someone fairly smart, Magnus could be an exceptional himbo at times.
Angus facepalms. Dotty is thankfully in the kitchen washing up and Mrs Cosie is upstairs taking drinks up to knit and natter group. So neither hadn't witnessed the entrance. Now Dotty's head was peeking over the barndoor to see what the noise was about. Mrs Cosie is on the stairs looking on in confusion, with several of the Knit and Natterers.
"Ahaha hello perfect stranger!" Magnus laughs in an obnoxiously loud fake voice, before returning to normally loud, leaning on the counter.
"Anyway, I decided I'd come stay with Krav and Taako for the week. But they're both out doing their own shit- sorry stuff so I thought I'd come see you. I tried the school first but you weren't there. Obviously, 'cos you're here. so, I came here instead. Don't worry, the puppies are tied up outside."
He gestures to the window. There's half a dozen big big doggos tethered up howling like wolves. Or they would be if the glass of the coffee shop window wasn't charmed with a muffle, to keep inside of Cosies well Cosy.
"dad!" Angus winces. Cringes. Then loudly corrects himself (hoping no one heard him call another bird father). "I mean sir!"
"Yeah?"
"I'm working." Angus frowns. Magnus looks at him blankly. Angus can feel Mrs Cosie's pleasant face frowning from here.
"You have to go to the back of the queue." Angus explains.
"oh! right. right." Magnus tiptoes, compete with a stealthy dink dink dink and Fingers on lips. Slips past the few confused people waiting and behind a very nervous halfling who just wanted a latte announces. "Back of the queue. See? Totally normal."
There are many many things Angus would describe this situation. Normal is not one of them.
"Angus dear?"
"Yes Mrs Cosie?"
"Get a mop, please."
Then again nothing ever is 'normal' when dealing with a member of Tres Horny Boys.
