Frost had certainly lingered within the cafe, much against perhaps Alexander's choosing. Their relationship was complicated at best, they were hardly comradely, instead something more along the lines of mutually accepting each other's existence. If that. They had an alliance of sort, one that Alexander had crafted only after making his position within their so called relationship particularly well known. He hadn't expected the steed to say that one simple word - to begrudgingly whisper 'please', and yet, somehow, he had managed to coax those syllables from the ivory haired man's lips. Needless to say, Alexander had hardly forgotten the ivory steed but nor was he truly aware of the fashion at which the steed's scent still managed to linger amongst the confines of his cafe. There were too many supernatural to pass in and out of those heavy glass doors to give it much thought, but ever so slowly Alexander was beginning to find himself in the middle of a complicated web - one that perhaps even Frost himself was unaware of. Regardless, Alexander had yet to see the steed in days perhaps, whatever plot they had was on a temporary hold as the pair fleshed out what battle plans they laid. In the mean time, Alexander continued the running of the small, cozy bistro, and life seemingly continued as normal.
The cafe was abnormally busy on this particular afternoon though Alexander accounted it to the release of their autumn beverage line. He had far too many orders for pumpkin spice lattes and chai mochas for it to be a coincidence. It was perhaps this hustle and bustle of individuals that caused him to be entirely oblivious of the young woman that wandered through his front door. He was entirely preoccupied behind the cappuccino machine, pouring expresso into mugs and environmentally friendly to-go cups. In fact, it wasn't until he'd completed the order of one of their regulars that Alexander had even begin to become remotely aware of her presence. The hot cup was carefully balanced within his hands as he made his way from behind the counter and and towards the back of the cafe, finding himself stopped entirely by the presence of the young blonde. He didn't make the connection to who she was at first, merely clearly his throat in a loud fashion to let her know that she was entirely within the way. It wasn't until she turned to look over his shoulder that the memory pulled to the forefront of his brain, bringing his eyebrows upwards in a surprised gesture. "I didn't expect to see you here again." He commented simply, his blue-green gaze noting the state in which she was in. It seemed as if someone had picked the girl up and cleaned her up far nicer then she had allowed him to do.
