The Corner Cafe | Closed To Nepeta and Feferi
Kanaya walks in the shop around 8:00 Saturday morning. She has changed and is setting up the chairs when Nepeta comes in. "Hello," she calls.
Kanaya waits until she and Nepeta are both at the counter to broach the matter at hand. She fiddles with the coffee machine, unsure of how to start. Finally, she settles on: "I've been made aware of why the girl in here yesterday was behaving so strangely."

It was kind of a silly question. She’d had at least two crushes on customers a week since she’d started working in the coffee shop, last semester, but that was different in the fact that she absolutely did not intend to approach them, or ever let it be known that she was oggling them from across the room. That and that they very rarely ended up being anything more than, what she liked to call, a ten minute crush.
“I mean she was purretty, but also really weird and she was acting weird right away! It wasn’t like she was fine and then decided I was cute aftpurr coming up to the counter, and then all of a sudden clammed up… I don’t know… it just seems purrticularly odd!”
Her brain kept spinning it’s wheels trying to understand and grasp the concept that a customer would go to such great lengths to have their crush known, and without really even trying to make a good impression on her, or becoming a repeat customer first. It was all very confusing.

She scrunched up her face. "He did mention an additional piece of information that I found rather odd. He said 'Fef' is the girl you met in the 'purple city'. I figured that meant something along the lines of an interactive video game... does it ring any bells for you?"

“I'm going to throw my things in the back…” Nep murmured, shouldering the storage room door open, and disappearing into it.
“Purrple city. Fef. Girl of her dreams….” all at once it clicked into place.
She swallowed hard. It explained why she would have acted so weird. It explained why she seemed familiar. It explained everything! But the explanation itself made no sense whatsoever. How could she have met someone in the real world from her dreams…. And for that matter, how was it that that girl could have known about the dreams? How could she have known Nepeta too, unless she had been dreaming the exact same thing.
She looked almost sick when she emerged from the stuffy back room.

When Nepeta returned looking so ashen, however, Kanaya had to suppress the urge to feel her forehead for a fever. Instead she hovered nearby, concern written all over her face. "Are you alright? You don't look very well."

And that Feferi had been a real life person? Who had dreamed about her aswell? And then they just HAPPENED to be in the same place at the same time? And that Feferi recognized her as having been from her dream? It was WAY too much for her to believe, let alone trying to share that all with someone who she had a friendly thing going with.
no subject
Nepeta still looked pretty out of it. Kanaya ran her fingers through her hair, mussing it a little. "Would you like me to make tea? We don't open for thirty more minutes and that always helps to sustain me when I don't feel well."
Should she mention Fef's number again? Perhaps now wasn't the ideal time.
no subject
She leaned against the pick up counter, and took a couple sugar packets to fiddle with, somewhat apprehensively as she waited. What was the next step after this? Kanaya had offered her Feferi’s number. Would she be able to answer any questions? What would happen if she didn’t bring it up again and tried to forget all of this craziness.
For some reason Nepeta kind of doubted if Feferi would be able to help. What memories hadn’t melted away, like snow in the sun, were of Feferi’s exuberance. She would probably even be more confused than Nepeta was about all of this, considering the fact that she had been the one to stumble across her real life dream girl.

She set it down in front of Nepeta, and leaned against the higher part of the counter. Maybe she needed something to distract her? Kanaya glanced over. There was now a fierce look of concentration on her face.
No, a direct approach would be better.
"Are you concerned about Eridan's friend?"
no subject
“You could say that, in a way, yes. It’s, sort of compurrlicated. I kind of know her, but I didn’t know that until you said… it’s just… supurr hard to explain,” She figured it was maybe for the best that she didn’t say too much. “You have her number?”

“I… Yeah. Thanks.” She pulled her phone from her back pocket and opened up a new message, then typed the number from Kanaya’s phone into the recipient box at the top. She looked at Kanaya, concern and apprehension clear on her face. “What do you think I should even say to her?”

She started typing.
:33 < hey, this is nepeta
:33 < and you're feferi..?
:33 < My coworker is furiends with the guy you were at the shop with, and he gave her your number to give to me
That seemed like as good a place to start as any, so she hit send, and put her phone back in her pocket. If she was lucky she wouldn't get a response while she was still at work.
