Good day. My name is Sandalphon, and I manage Cafe Azure.

With Valentine's Day approaching, I would like to devise a menu for the occasion. Since our realms differ greatly, what flavors and motifs are common to the holiday where you come from?

I'm familiar with chocolate and anatomically inaccurate hearts.

Also, do any local businesses offer free refreshments to new arrivals? It has occurred to me that this may help them acclimate.

Thank you in advance for any input.

He told me something to this effect as well. His knowledge and skill far exceed my own, save in the realm of coffee, so I learned a great deal from even that collaboration.

Primordial coffee was the first species introduced in the Sky Realm, over two thousand years ago. I harvested beans from that first tree before I was brought here, so I've been raising more plants.

This environment agrees with them, thus far.

Oh my, that's very impressive! I've used coffee beans from all around the world, but I don't think I've ever had anything from such a distinguished lineage!

Sorry, when you say "Sky Realm," is that the name of the place you come from?

Yes, the Sky Realm is the world from which I hail. Where most others seem to come from realms with vast expanses of land and sea, ours is one where islands litter the sky.

It sounds to me like you're a connoisseur of coffee, to have sampled such variety.

Goodness, that sounds remarkable! Just like something out of a storybook. I can scarcely imagine it.

That sounds like it could be very frightening to live on. Do people ever fall off the edge?

And I certainly try to be! I've always dreamed of opening my own cafe back home, so learning to appreciate the subtle flavors and differences in various strains and blends of coffee was something of a hobby of mine.

I likewise find such different worlds remarkable. It's a wonder we can all be drawn here, regardless of what sort of place we're from.

[ Do they fall off, she asks...

Well, there was this one time he shoved a certain someone off the edge of an island, but no need to get into that...]

While it is possible to fall, Skydwellers often typically that potential danger.

Your goal is one I have shared for most of my life. Though admittedly, my focus has been in refining preparation methods, so I'm still working on the business side.

I'm certain they must! It's like... people who live on islands know how to swim, usually.

My family was deeply involved in business at home, so I've learned something from that, for better or for worse. I'd been exploring different varieties and blends as a hobby, something that I hoped to serve to others one day.

It seems we have a lot in common, Mr. Sandalphon!

Oh goodness, I've forgotten to introduce myself. I apologize for being rude. My name is Haru.

They have airships with which to traverse the sky, at least.

I was introduced to coffee by one I could call family as well... I'd say your assessment is right.

However, I don't believe you've been rude at all. Pleased to meet you, Haru. Do people still say this, when speaking remotely? I'm not very familiar with network etiquette.

It's very nice to meet you too!
To be honest, I'm not certain myself. Back home, I only really used this sort of messaging app with my friends.

I'm something of a disaster with most technology. My friend is always having to fix what I've done to my phone...

You surely have me outclassed, regardless. We've no such technology in the Sky Realm. There are methods of transmitting voice communications over a distance, but I'd never had use for it.

I didn't even know what to do with the devices issued to us upon our arrival in this place. So I suppose we can decide on our own standards, if we're similarly unfamiliar with this.

Well, that's a good excuse for not knowing what to say, don't you think!
I'm all for creating our own rules, however! In that case, "It's nice to meet you" shall be perfectly acceptable, I decree it.

So it shall be.

On that note, I hope you'll stop by to sample primordial coffee sometime. One of the baristas here is also a connoisseur, and he seems to consider it unique, so it may be a novel experience at least.

Oh, I'd love to! I always love trying new blends.
Whare is your establishment located?

On level two, across from Megumi's clinic, if you're acquainted. One moment.

[ He's not too good at this network business, but after a delay, he sends an area map with his business' physical location circled. ]

Thank you!
I'll be sure to swing by when I can.

I shall look forward to it.
