Alicia sat down at the out door cafe, all the other tables were full. She had been wandering, and thought maybe some caffeine would do some good.
She had ordered a few minutes ago and was now sipping her Chai, it tasted something like Carrots. She wrinkled her nose, that was an odd thing for it to taste like. She sputtered and coughed as she took another sip, this place usually had good Coffee, but this stuff was just a little too mysterious tasting.
She tried to get over the odd aftertaste and figured at what she had paid for the darn cup of Chai, she was going to drink it.
She heard people all around her, she closed her sightless eyes and just listened to the people, trying to imagine what the faces looked like behind the voices.

Kurt pushed the door open to the cafe and cursed, all the seats were taken he hated it when he had to stand and drink his hot chocolate. His nose was frosted slightly and he needed something hot and he couldn't abide by coffe his scarf had come undone but he didn't mind. Kurt walked to the counter "Ah, could I get one hot chocolate please?" he passed the money over the counter to the lady who gingerly took it.
He thought the prejudice to mutants had passed but he was obviously wrong but he didn't mind soon they would hate him even more.
Kurt thanked the woman for the steaming hot drink and was wondering whether to leave or to stay and stand, there were plenty of empty park benches outside. He decided to go ask a woman in the corner if he could sit down at her table seeing as though there was one chair left next to her. Kurt crossed the cafe "Excuze me mizz may I sit here?" he got ready to be told to take a hike.

"Of course, Sir!" Alicia knew it wasn't pleasant to have to stand, and she really didn't think anything would change if he did sit next to her. She wouldn't have seen him anyway.
Alicia blew on her Chai, she was desperate to have someone to talk to, since Ben hadn't returned her calls for almost a month now...and really she didn't have anyone else.
"I hope you didn't get the Chai, it tastes funny..." She could smell he had chocolate, but, she thought it was at least something to break the silence.
Alicia sipped her drink, glad for the warmth, but, wrinkling her nose at the very Carrotty taste. She tucked her feet under her chair, hoping to keep them warmer.

Kurt smiled as he eyed her suspiciously "Zhank you." he sat in the empty seat and checked his watch it was still fairly early in the morning he had plenty of time to kill before his shift at the bar.
He heard the woman talk to him it was odd normally people didn't talk to him more then once, unless he was at the bar but it was a mutant only bar. "Ah no I got ze hot chocolate and it iz fine, zhanks for asking."
He noticed her blank stare then it hit him, she was blind "So miz do you come here often?" pathetic small talk but he was a bit bored and any conversation was good at the moment.

"Are you flirting?" Alicia said, wrinkling her brow, that was one of those lines you always hear in the movies...right before the girl hits the guy with something heavy.
Alicia thought about just leaving, and letting the man think about how wrong it was to ask a stranger that...Alicia shrugged, "No. I don't. Do you?" She said with a slight sigh. She was rude, and she knew it, but, He'd started it.

Kurt stood up "I am sorry mizz." he turned well that was totally odd she continued to speak to him as he left.
He opened the door and looked back how unusual he never thought that small talk could be mistaken for flirtatious comments. He felt kind of bad for leaving but a statement as blunt as that was quite offensive even to him a man who is called a freak on a daily basis can be offended easily. He stood there for a minute letting the cold in but decided to go, she wasn't worth the bother yet.
The street was cold and empty he was tempted to turn back to the cafe and order another drink and apologise to the girl he had left sitting alone rudely. Kurt thought about they were as bad as each other in some aspects.

With his sudden departure, Alicia felt a little bad...she'd kind of said the wrong thing...
She sipped her disgusting Chai, and leaned back, once again, she was alone. Alicia closed her eyes and let the warm cup heat her hands.
This was one of the worst days she'd ever had. First she had her sculpture show canceled...then she couldn't get a hold of Ben...Then she was ticking people off....now, she was sitting alone again. Alicia reached for her purse, she felt it tugged out of her hands.
"Hey!"
She reached out, and caught the coat arm of the person who'd taken her purse. The fabric slipped out of her fingers as the thief began sprinting away with her purse.
"Stop!" Alicia got up, tripping over the chair's leg, and falling to the cement, she could hear the thief still running.
Alicia had no way to stop him.
