The trailer looks much the same as ever: small, clean, ruthlessly tidy.

Well, except for the tinsel on the cabinets. (Cathy's doing. It's shedding a bit on the counter.) And the holly and colorful squiggles drawn on the whiteboard on the back of the kitchen door. (Also Cathy's doing.) And the tiny tree taking up half the kitchen table, wedged into a corner and slightly precariously laden with ornaments. (Trowa helped with that one. But because Cathy handed him the box of ornaments and told him to.) There are small presents shoved under the drooping branches.

Trowa is making coffee, at the moment.

Despite her fascination with the process that produces the magical drink, Cass turns when Cathy starts speaking. She cocks her head at the question, then nods sharply. One finger is held up to illustrate the number of coffee encounters she has had.

D:!

"Is there no coffee in your world?"

TRAGEDY.

Cass frowns. This is a hard question to answer because if she nods it will likely be interpreted as confirmation of Cathy's question, but if she shakes her head it will be in confirmation of Cathy's assumption about no coffee.

She settles for an entirely unhelpful shrug.

"Well," Cathy says, biting her lip. "There's got to be. There's a South America, right? So there'd--be coffee beans. Because if there wasn't everything would--go funny-" she glances at Trowa as if for support in her ecosystem argument, "-so they might not, um, just have made it. From the coffee beans. That were there. You could start a beverage revolution!"

She would totally make banners for it. Viva la Coffee! No Taxation Without Caffeination!

After tapping her chin in thought for a few seconds, Cass nods in agreement.

Oracle knows about revolutions. She could probably start one with nothing but a cell phone. And she likes coffee. Cass will ask her about it.

Or something.

Then Cass remembers that there is something in her hands. It is a sticky bun! It is filled with sweet, sugary goodness!

Cathy beams, and kicks her feet against the cupboards aimlessly as she finishes her sticky bun.

She doesn't let herself eat (non-smoothie) junk food that often, so: hurrah!

Cass is pleased with her sugary confection. She glances over at the coffee maker long enough to ascertain that it won't be done in the next sixty seconds.

That's enough to free her up to wander around the small room, examining everything curiously. It was very... small. Not that that was necessarily a bad thing.

In most houses, she would check all the rooms. Just to be safe. Just to get her bearings. But this is Trowa's house. She's sure that there are at least two clear exits if they're needed. Probably four.

Her hands run gently across the various surfaces in the room. Tactile interaction helps to fix things kinesthetically.

After a while she nods to Cathy and to Trowa. She approves! It is much homier than Oracle's place.

Cathy grins at Cass, her feet tucked under her and hands clean.

"Nuestra casa es su casa, etc., etc.!" she informs Cass cheerfully.

Cass just nods, completely unaware that Cathy changed languages on her.

Meeep squeaks the coffeemaker as it finishes, and Cathy jumps off the counter to grab three mugs.

They have, respectively: an angelfish in a tophat, a dragon on a pile of cabbages, and a lion that says RAWR.

She turns her head to Cass. "We've got creamer, peppermint flavoring, and there's some sugar in the can," she points along the counter.

"Do you want to go exploring the town and come back for presents, or the other way around? We've got to be back at two to throw the casserole into the oven for the dinner."

Cathy is very considerate, asking Cass' opinion regarding plans. Unfortunately the coffee has already been poured (Cass has an awesome mug with a fish!), and that means that she's over there at the counter pouring sugar directly from the canister into her fishy.

All of which means that she misses Cathy's query entirely.

Cathy is less zen. "We might as well explore first," she says, with a quick shrug and a smile as she leans against the cupboard with her coffee-avec-peppermint. "Present opening's easier to rush!"

Cass has finished sugaring up her beverage (and gulped down half of it) by now, so she's turned back to look at Cathy.

She nods in approval of this plan. Exploring is okay with her!
