Cas nodded. "Thanks… what should I say to the customers? I'm pretty sure waiters introduce themselves, but I'm not really a waiter, so I wasn't sure…"

"Not really, though it's not prohibited. The only times you're saying anything to them is when you're asking whether or not they need you to take their plates away or to refill their drinks."

He nodded again. "What does Sorin do?" His ears twitched a bit and turned whenever he heard Sorin's voice.

"Sorin greets the customers, seats them, gives them their menus, and sometimes he could set up reservations or answer calls." She glanced at the two up front and tried to stifle her laughter.

Cas turned to look at Daniel and Sorin. "He doesn't seem to like Sorin very much…" He said quietly, the tip of his tail grazing the ground.

"Well… Daniel doesn't really seem to like anybody, so," she said with a shrug. "Except you, of course. I guess it's a siren thing."

"But why does he supposedly like me if he doesn't like anybody?" He looked back at her, confused. "I'm not really special."

"I… honestly don't know," she crossed her arms and smiled. "Why not ask him?"

Cas was quiet for a moment, considering. "Nah… I'd better not. I don't want to make him mad. What else do I need to know?"

"He has a very… very short temper. He might be patient with you the first time, but if you mess up say… the next day or two, he might explode. No," she shook her head. "He will explode."

Cas nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. He seemed pretty nice during the interview, though… I told him I was nervous so he said I don't have to be and stuff like that. Is that not normal for him?"

"Not necessarily… but I think it's because you're really young? I don't know."

"I mean, Sorin's sixteen… I'm only a year younger than him."

"Yeah, I suppose you're right… Is there anything else you need to know?"

Cas shrugged. "Whatever you think is important. You're the expert."

"Daniel usually doesn't want his employees to get distracted, so, you and Sorin can't really interact with each other all that much unless it's needed."

"Oh…" His ears drooped a bit. "I'll still get to see him though, right?"

"I mean, yeah. When you're bussing tables, of course."

He nodded. "Alright… what do I do when I'm not bussing tables?"

"You help the other waiting staff or assist Daniel whenever he needs it," she smiled and stood up when she heard bells chime. "Oh look, a few customers," she said pointing to a group of teenagers heading inside. "Good luck. Oh, and I almost forgot," She stuck her hand out to Cas, "My name is Kariin and it is a pleasure to meet you Cas."

Cas shook her hand with a grin and watched the customers approach Sorin. He mouthed 'good luck, love' to the other and gave him a thumbs up before hurrying off.

Sorin smiled and gave the other a thumbs up before turning to the people in front of him. "Fuck," he muttered under his breath causing Daniel to sigh deeply and a giggle to emit from two of the girls.

Cas just sort of wandered around looking for things to do since he was still pretty clueless and the restaurant was mostly empty. He hummed softly to himself as he went, his ears turning towards sudden noises.

Sorin gestured them to follow him to a table of four and although he seemed pretty calm on the outside, he was panicking within. He quickly passed out the menus and hurried off back to the counter.

Cas went over to the table when he thought it was okay to do so. "Hello! Welcome to restaurant name. What would you like to drink?"

((ooh that's my bad. the restaurant name is 'the melting pot' lmao))

Sorin watched as he interacted with the others but was quickly interrupted when he was approached by a larger group of customers. Jesus Christ… He greeted all of them and grabbed a handful of menus before sitting them down to a table that could fit about twelve people. He returned to the counter but sighed heavily as more customers began coming in.

Cas kept running around to grab drinks for people, though he got helped pretty quickly. This part wasn't too hard, at least.

Sorin was bombarded with customers to the point where he couldn't even keep his eyes on Cas anymore. He spent hours seating, taking reservations, answering phone calls and was eventually too tired and busy to realize Daniel had left.

Cas frequently walked to where he could at least glance at Sorin for a moment to keep himself calm. He occasionally forgot to refill people's drinks, but Kariin typically reminded him.

Sorin had been getting better at this quicker than he thought, though it was an effort to keep his composure when it came to certain customers. When night fell, he realized how exhausted he was when there were fewer people coming in and occasionally had to sit down.
