[Local hedgehog has a desire, but aside from knowing about one cafe? He's clueless on how to fulfill said desire. So to the phone, he goes.

Also who cares about whatever craziness is going on with the rest of you.]

Which place is the best place to buy coffee beans?

[Yes, that is it. He asking after beans but...]

Aside from Magnolia Cafe, I know of that place already.

[He... reminds him of someone...]

We have a cafe? [Oh, boy, he's been out of it.] Sorry. I've only seen the shelf brands. But it's pretty cheap coffee, if you're interested.

[Might be terrible, though.]

I don't know about the taste...

That’s new, seeing my cafe’s name out on the network like this. Normally I just rely on word of mouth.

But I’m glad you like my cafe’s stuff!!

[ anyone could feel the smile coming through the response. ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Apparently Shadow reminds a lot of people of other people, must be a trope of something.]

Yes, it's a... Good place. [High praise from Shadow that is!] I haven't tried any of the store brands...

[As long as it's crunchy and tasty, that's all Shadow cares about re: coffee beans.]

[ringsthatbind]

[Yes, he can. Feel that smile in the text.]

If something is good, then why not state that it's good?

( eh, she doesn't know if they serve coffee beans per se, but... )

Phoenix Roost's coffee's good.

( oh look, an honest review of the stuff instead of her usual scrounged up critiques to stop Rei's head getting any bigger. )

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow has not heard of this place, and hey if the coffee is good? So should the beans.]

Never heard of it, but I shall try it at least.

[That is if they'll even sell him the beans that is.]

For consumption or for spellcraft?

[ringsthatbind]

For eating, I have no idea how it could be used magically.

[sighsheavily]

Then I would advise the open-air market street tea sellers, as they often have a substantial volume of coffee beans and items as well.
Wash them before consumption, of course... Though I suppose the mingling of other substances could produce an intriguing flavoring if one were curious enough to try.

[ringsthatbind]

I wouldn't have considered sellers of tea as a source of beans.

And I'll take that into consideration.

[Shadow didn't really consider the need to wash the beans first at all.]

[sighsheavily]

[shadow they come from the dirt. don't eat dirt. not even second-hand dirt.]

They often go hand-in-hand. Those with any real snuff, from what I've seen, at least.
In any case, was that all? Quite an innocuous question.

[ringsthatbind]

[A little dirt won't kill him!]

I see.
And yes, it was all. I have been frequenting the cafe I mentioned and thought maybe finding somewhere else to get beans would be a good idea.

[sighsheavily]

Has that particular café fallen short in that regard? Perhaps making note to its owners is in order.

[ringsthatbind]

No, not at all. I just don't wish to end up purchasing too much and making things hard for them.

[He likes his coffee in bean form, and he consumes it pretty regularly.]

There are a few different shops I've found that sell good coffee beans.

[ And Shadow will receive a small list of different shops and their locations that sell what Fenton has deemed good coffee. Because he kind of lives off the stuff, so he's done his research. ]

[itsmypower]

[A good place, huh? He'll consider that.]

I'll keep it in mind. I don't know too much about coffee. [Still on strawberry milk.] What kind did you want?

[sighsheavily]

I see.
Then, yes: The open-air market ought to be a better fit for your needs.

[morns]

( well, she'll be extra generous and link the directions to where it sits in the Business District! )

it's the one built around a tree.

[ringsthatbind]

[Lot of text replies, but hey they give good directions so he won't complain.]

Thank you.

[ringsthatbind]

You're young, [He assumes, by human standards] so you don't need to know coffee.

And type? I just like the beans.

[ringsthatbind]

Then that's where I shall take my business, and thank you.

[ringsthatbind]

[Huzzah for directions! Shadow would have just wandered around until he found it.]

I see. That's a very distinctive location.

[itsmypower]

[There's a lot to unpack here. And naturally, he's comparing new faces to the past's he's familiar with. Principal Nezu seemed ageless, though he was same as any other adult, as far as Shoto could tell. But...

How old was this one?]

Um, [His words are sticking.] what do you mean... you like the beans? [Leaning forward a little, like it's secret. His brows knot lightly.]

Are you eating them?

[ringsthatbind]

[Shoto will never know unless he asks, Shadow isn't the type to just toss his age about.

And to answer the question posed to him? Shadow nods.]

Yes, it's the best way to have coffee after all. Crunchy and tasty all at the same time.

[itsmypower]

[Not now, he won't. The coffee matter takes precedence.]

Isn't that sort of potent? [Worry there.] You can handle that?

[His stomach twists thinking about it. All that hyper straight to the nerves...]
