The man just nodded and went back to his work, faster and more fluid now that he was more than 2% awake.

Charlotte smiled softly and let him work as she looked at the menu. It was a well-put-together list, and quite a few delicious-sounding options. Though, unfortunately, there was no sign of blueberry pancakes… Unless they were a specialty item. But she didn't see a reason to trouble the man about it.

He continued through his duties but glanced up at Charlotte every once in a while. "Find anything you like on there?"

“Yes, actually.” she nodded, glancing back up at him. “I think I’ll take up the one with two eggs, toast, sausage, and a side of fruit.” she told him.

"Alright then. Any preference on the fruit or is an assortment okay." He wiped his hands on a towel before turning to the open window in the kitchen, ready to call her order when she answered his question.

“An assortment is fine. Though… If there could be more strawberries, or grapes?” she asked.

He nodded before yelling back the order in some other language before getting a response which sounded like a complaint of some kind in the same language that made him chuckle before turning back to Charlotte. "Sorry about that, the cooks only speak Elvish. Came from the village on the other side of the woods."

Charlotte was interested when she heard the other language but perked up when the man identified it. “How interesting. I've only heard Elvish a couple of times before but I never actually learned it.” she admitted.

"I don't blame you, it's a difficult language to learn. Speaking it is the easiest, actually. Reading or heavens forbid writing it is damn near impossible to learn if you're not from an Elven village."

“But a beautiful language to listen to.” she nodded. “I can copy some of the shapes of Elvish writing but I can't understand them. And speaking it… Well, I guess I just never had a chance to learn.” she admitted with a shrug.

He shrugged with a smile. "My family moved to an Elven village when I was a kid so I grew up learning Elvish. Believe me, it was not easy."

“Hmm. Lucky.” she chuckled softly. “My parents didn't move anywhere when I was born. So, I didn't get to go anywhere or see much more than the town.”

"I don't know, I think it would've been nice to stay in the town I was born in. We moved when I was about six so I had started to think of these people as family. Then we just up and left. Was kinda devastating."

“Oh… I see.” she hummed, thoughtfully. “I guess it was nice to know the same people as I grew up.”

He shrugged with a slight smile. "Eh, it all worked out in the end. Learn a lot, loved a lot. And in the end, that's all that really matters isn't it?"

“Very true. And you have an experience that, as far as I know, not many people can claim.” she added, smiling back at him.

He smiled and nodded before snapping his fingers. "Oh! Where are my manners, my mother raised me better than this. I'm Cyrus. A pleasure, m'lady. And you are?"

“Charlotte. Nice to meet you.” she giggled, lifting her hand and holding it out for a shake.

Cyrus gladly shook Charlotte's hand, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. "Please, the pleasure's all mine."

“Such a gentleman.” Charlotte giggled at the kiss, blushing faintly as she wondered if she would have to get used to this sort of thing while she was traveling.

"I do try." He hummed with a chuckle. "Do you have any particular destinations in mind during your travels or are you just walking until you find something."

“Oh, a little bit of both. We've got a couple of places that we are hoping to see but we are going to enjoy the in-between parts as well.” she admitted with a smile.

"Sounds lovely. It's been a while since I met someone who was walking simply for the experience of walking so this is a bit refreshing. First time?"

“Yes.” she admitted, her face turning a little more red as she did. “But I've been enjoying it. You get to see so many beautiful things this way.”

"And what's your favorite thing you've seen so far? Other than me, of course." He winked playfully before laughing.
