[Arrival GP] it’s summer, right?

[st_artliving]

June, Xavin decided, was a puzzling month. It still seemed like spring in some ways, but was very summer already in others. Among the ways that it was summer: less demand for hot drinks. And yes, she could do iced, but that tended to mean hauling ice to her coffee-cart territory and that got old fast.

Since it was arrival day, therefore, she was trying something new. She’d taken over part of the cafe (with a decentish view of the lobby) and set it up with blenders, fruits, and other things. Surely smoothies would be acceptable, and the cafe space meant not having to haul ice.

As a further acknowledgement of probable sun and warmth, Xavin ensured there were obvious stacks of towels near the more usual baskets of things for new arrivals. If there were any newcomers and she’d forgotten something, well... it would probably be all right eventually.

"Wait. Seriously? Hercules is real?" She didn't know why that boggled her mind. She was friends with Thor, but it did. "Figures he'd be a douchebag, but hey if you need things to fix, I am sure a friend and I can help you with that." She returned his grin, thinking of the fun Alec would probably have destroying things as a 'help'. She didn't mention the inn fixed things that were broken. Maybe with this kid here, it would leave the minor things to him and just fix the bigger things, like rooms set on fire.

"Yeah?" He meant about her and her friend. "You guys break a lot of things?" He paused. "I guess it doesn't really matter so long as I get to fix the things." He grinned.

He decided to stand and arched his back in a stretch. "Okay, so, if this is a hotel, I must get a room, right?"

"Yeah, it's through there." Clarice pointed toward the lobby. "Ask for Darryl behind the desk. He'll have a room for you. There's also a welcome basket that explains a lot about the inn."

This was probably a good example of why Clarice hadn't even been asked to be part of the welcoming committee. She was good with sink or swim way of doing things. Clearly he could swim, he demonstrated that.

"A welcome basket, huh?" He grinned. "Cool. I hope there's some little bath soaps and that mouthwash no one ever likes from hotels in there." Leo sent her a wink like he was confident. "See you around, Chica! Thanks for the welcome." Then he headed off inside.
