The place is pleasantly crowded, and Kali is happy to listen to the buzz of conversation as she gets her coffee and settles at a table on the patio. She looks up as the barista hops over the counter and hugs someone, giving the scene an amused look before she goes back to dumping cream into her coffee. Stirrng it and then setting the small plastic straw aside, she wraps her hands around the warm cup, looking out over the street beside the dining area. Maybe with the warm day, she should have gotten iced coffee, but that never seems as relaxing... or as caffeinated. For some reason, hot coffee just does it for her.<br/><br/>Sipping the beverage slowly, she studies the way the light plays across the scenery around her with an artist's eye, her mind wandering as she enjoys the end of what's been a fairly good day. She wonders idly what her boyfriend is up to, but it isn't an immediate worry. He'll come by when he's got some time, and probably not before. With a wry smile, she reflects that they haven't gone out in a while. Maybe she'll suggest something next time she sees him.<br/><br/>Her eyes wander along the other tables, her whole manner relaxed, clearly not in a rush or needing to get anywhere. She doesn't catch the intense gaze directed at her frmo the other table, oblivious to anything but her own thoughts. She leans forward in her seat and takes another sip of her coffee, debating grabbing some food as well from the cafe... although she does have food at home, so it'd be kind of a waste...
