[After all the chaos of Fortune-Telling Week From Hell settles down, it's time to make good on that promise for tea! Elsa seems like a neat person to know, after all, and even if their topic at the time had been a little heavy, that's just all the more reason to get to know her a little better. That sort of burden is hard to carry alone.
So after giving the directions and setting a time, Oz can be found sitting outside of the cafe in question. He's got something folded on his lap and seems to be alternating between people-watching and checking his phone, buzzing with the quiet excitement of meeting someone new.]
mabel;
[GUESS WHERE MABEL AND OZ ARE. That's right, on the best friend date ever. Ever. It's only just started and Oz is already having a great time, pressing his face against the CyBuddy displays and being stupidly excited in general over all these weirdass animals. Ciel has his big fat owl, so maybe said owl needs a companion...!
He stops in front of one display in particular though, where a very small dog with very large ears sits at attention, ready and waiting for the next customer to come test its functions. Instead of doing that, Oz just points with GREAT VIGOR and calls over to wherever Mabel happens to be moseying about, clearly excited.]
Mabel! Come look at this one! Look at its ears—!!
[This dog must be stopped.]
taka;
[It's nerd time in the library, time for all library nerds to go perusing at their collective leisure...! SO OF COURSE OZ IS HERE, looking around the shelves for anything that's been added since the last time he'd visited. Nothing really catches his eye yet; even with all of the books here, he's already read his way through most of the fiction section that had struck immediate interest and has yet to find anything actually useful in the non-fiction section, outside of how-to manuals for technological devices. He's almost at the end of the row by the time he spots it-
The familiar spines all lined up in a neat row. Finally. FINALLY.]
They have it—!!
[Oops, were you trying to read in a peaceful corner or actually get some work done?? IT IS PEACEFUL NO MORE, since Oz doesn't know how to use volume control when he's excited.]
yoon;
[Now that Oz has taken up trying to cook some things on his own, it also means that he has to learn to shop for groceries on his own... And normally, he isn't too bad at that! He actually has a fairly good idea of what makes a balanced meal and knows what he likes, so it doesn't take long to finish up and he doesn't spend time lingering in the aisles.
Today is unfortunately not one of those days. Living in the House of Eternal Sweet-tooth means that candy is never in short supply, but with all of the crazy goings-on lately, it's been a little hard to remember to restock the candy jar. Today, the grocery store happens to be having a buy 1 get 1 free sale, too, which means that all of the soup stocks and vegetables and fruits in Oz's cart are buried under a literal mountain of candy.
A mountain that goes sLIDING RIGHT OVER IN AN AVALANCHE when Oz takes a turn too quickly, burying the feet of anyone who happens to be nearby. SO, YOU, YOON. You are the chosen one.]
Oh— sorry about that! I guess I put a little too much in here. [An Understatement™. Oz will immediately move to start picking various bags of M&Ms and jolly ranchers up, though, because he's not a rudeass who makes other people clean up for him.]
ciel;
[IT'S 10AM, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR OZES ARE?
In the kitchen, tiredly stirring around his oatmeal in an absent-minded way. Horror of horrors, there aren't even any sprinkles in it today.
Even though he tried his best to get some sleep the night before, he couldn't manage it. He's been wound with anxious energy for hours now, and it's exhausting, but there's no reprieve in sight just yet and even if there was, he probably wouldn't take it. He's got a lot of things to think about, some clothing to throw away, and apologies to make - later, after the general insanity dies down. But that leaves him in a limbo of sorts for the time being, and it's why he's staring somewhat absently out the window whenever Ciel moseys out of his sleep coma for the day.
His attention still snaps over regardless, and Ciel gets the same cheery:]
Morning!
sheba;
["I'll be meeting you for tea once all of this is straightened out." WELL THINGS ARE STRAIGHTENED OUT NOW!! And Oz, who needs to check up on everyone that he's watching out for anyway, will take any reason to make the standard "so did you survive" conversation pass a little more smoothly. Good lord, he's going to become one of the cafe's most valued customers in less than a week at this rate...
But that's why he's standing out in the apartment hall at around noon a few days after things settle back down again, knocking on Sheba's door.]
Sheba? It's Oz! Are you here?
[Maybe he should have tried calling first?! What a moron.]

[Teach her your squirrely ways, Oz. Though she's less likely to run about, too busy being queenly or something. Or just quietly terrified.
She folds her hands in front of her, glancing over. Flowers? Works for her. So she takes a seat a bit primly, taking a deep breath.] This is my first time at a cafe.
no subject
Sometimes! Everyone could use a few, right? Especially when it comes to navigating through a big city like this.
[At least that's a benign trick! Most of Oz's usually are, though. Most...
But Oz will flounce over after her when she selects a table, sliding into the opposite seat and almost immediately crossing his arms over the surface of the table. Apparently he's very at ease, and at ease easily.]
Ah, is it really? I hope you like it, then! This has some of the best tea in town, I think. Gil seems to like the coffee too, if you like that more than tea.
no subject
[So much bigger. Not that she ever explored Arendelle anyway. Elsa looks across the table at Oz, nodding.]
Actually, I'm wondering if they'll have hot cocoa. [Because chocolate is a food group, isn't it?]
no subject
[HE SEEMS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. Probably because tea is his go-to drink, but the discovery of hot chocolate is right up there in the top 10 best things about Cerealia.]
I think that you can add peppermint syrup to it, too, so it tastes like peppermint chocolate.
no subject
That sounds really decadent actually. [A faint almost nostalgic smile,] It's too bad Anna's not here to try something like that.
[Missing her sister all the time.] I think that's what I'll have to try then.
no subject
[WHICH MEANS HE REALLY LOVES IT, NATURALLY. He loves everything that's so sugary it could rot his teeth out...
But! Curiously:] Is Anna someone from your world?
no subject
[A softly amused tony creeps into her voice, but her expression softens as Oz asks that question. She nods, almost wistful really.] Mmhmm. My little sister.
[Elsa worries about her, especially the last thing she knew of Anna, she hadn't yet returned from the mountain and with the storm of her own creation out there. Aaah it's worrisome. Not to mention the idea of her world being destroyed -- something she doesn't want to believe, and is determined to do what she can to save it here, since they held out that hope to her.]
no subject
[Immediate understanding, apparently - but Oz has a little sister, too, so he does understand. Brightly:]
Once she gets here, you'll have to show her how to find this place, right? Then she can try the drinks here, too!
no subject
[Oh. All that optimism. Elsa finds herself looking up, hopeful now. Really. Could Anna wind up here?] I will. I'll be sure to.
Though, I don't know if she'll want to see me. After what happened the last time we talked. [She kind of chased her out with a giant snowmonster. For her own good though! At least, she thought.]
no subject
I'll show you a bunch of good places so you can pass them all on! [YEAH. It's like charity through osmosis or something!!
But since he can tell this is a little more delicate ground to be treading on, his smile softens a little in turn.]
Well, you won't know until you try, right? But she's your little sister! Even if things aren't so good all the time, you're still family in the end.
