[EP] aliens control the coffee supply

[st_artliving]

Xavin, for the most part, hadn't actually bothered keeping regular hours at her little coffee nook. She spent some time there most days, how long depending on how many people wanted coffee or how interested she was in whatever books she'd selected for the day.

Today was probably going to be a longer day, if only because she'd had to restock a little from the kitchens. She'd found a little cart to haul things and was currently engaged in putting her supplies away. Milks and whipped cream into the little refrigerator, beans stashed in their cupboard, disposable cups stacked and non-disposable cups cleaned and put away. (Some people liked those, particularly if they didn't intend to leave the library. But it meant that her kitchen time included doing dishes, which was often more fun than drudgery. Especially when she accidentally overdid the soap.)

"I have had few friends in my life," Lillith offered in hopes of showing him he needn't presume hostility. It would be safer for all if he did not. "But I have found many here. Perhaps you will also find friends, if you wish to."

"A sweet sentiment, but I doubt it. I'm more than old enough to know my limitations." And there were many. "Among them is that I am fundamentally unlikeable, always have been. I'll strive for tolerance if I can get it, and if I can't, I'll manage."

"My instructor once told me that if you aim for the stars, you will hit the moon. So if you strive for tolerance, you will not get it." She fixed him with her violet gaze. "Perhaps you should aim higher."
