Ren fills a cup with coffee from a pitcher.
"Do you want to try and shut me up?"
They smirk as they put a lid on the cup and slide it over to Akechi. They're still working.
โWell considering all that you did, I think the jealousy wouldnโt be warranted nowadays. Besides it isnโt as if I hadnโt had fun occasionally.โ
Though just like the others; their memory of the phantom theives still lingered, if not absentmindedly spoken of as if they were well known.-

"One house blend, coming right up."
Ren threw their apron back on and got to work.
"Although don't pretend you weren't always jealous of the 'trouble' I got up to back when we were the Pha--..."
They slowly turn to the customers, and turn back.
"...antastic duo that we were."
โAnd just as crass as I remember too, Iโm very sorry maโam.โ He turns to the elderly customer bowing apologetically.
Turning back to Ren sighing softly.
โAnyways that aside, your house blend would be enough to get past that awkward exchange.โ

"Although if by 'trouble' you mean getting railed in the ass so hard and by so many people that my vision goes blurry for the rest of the night, yes I'm still doing that."
...
Ren slaps their hands on the counter rhythmically.
An elderly customer stops eating her crepe.
"Can I get you anything?"
โReally depends, then again Iโm happy youโre not causing so much trouble. Though I doubt you were never on the straight and narrow, otherwise Iโm happy to hear.โ
Regardless he was happy that they hadnโt changed, after all their coffee alone has always been one of many reasons to visit.

"I'm still serving coffee, in the end. I'm not sure what trouble you're talking about."
Wink.

โGlad to see youโre still around Ren, hopefully youโre staying out of trouble. Then again, you are the type to have it around.โ
