II.

Equally mysterious is how Chloe has ended up on the serving side of the counter. Considering the other tricks that the islands have played, finding herself as a barista seems fairly innocuous. For the moment, at least. Maybe she'll have to make a demanding customer the same unicorn frappuccino over and over for the rest of eternity. Not that it would be too bothersome if it were the case - Chloe can smile her way through a great deal of unpleasant situations.

The patron drifting around the shop is far more of a surprise. Her eyes go wide for a moment, LED flashing bright yellow. For a short while she simply watches. If there's another one of their number here, does it mean something? Has Markus now been transported here for a reason, other than the standard 'journey of self-improvement'? Or given that there have seemed to be new Travelers joining at points, perhaps there's no deeper meaning to it at all.

Ready to step out from behind her station, he approaches the counter instead. The look on her face is one of sympathetic understanding and when she speaks, her tone is soft. "Markus... Are you alright?" Other than the inevitable confusion, questioning and apprehension at finding oneself displaced. That's something she might be able to help with a little. "The exact where is... Well, it can be rather nebulous. But we can try to figure things out?" As there is often something to puzzle out.
