Helen laughs.

"Anyhow weren't we going to get coffee, I'll go order, what do you guys want?"

"Mocha?" shrugs Helen.

"I will also have mocha," says Damaris. "It sounds tasty."

"Me three," says Yseult.

"Okay then!" And off Soph traipses to order mochas for all the Dominiques and a caramel latte with sprinkles for herself.

It turns out that

the Dominiques

enjoy their mochas.

Oh very good. And Soph enjoys her latte, so that works out.

"This was a good idea," Helen declares.

"Yes. Yes it was."

She laughs.

So do her alts.

"So - potential moodkiller but - how are things with your mom, Helen? Are there even things? With your mom?"

"I - don't really know," she says. "We didn't talk that much. She, um, she thinks it's cute that I call her mom 'Granatee'? That might be promising?"

"That is profoundly cute, if she didn't think that was cute I would be pretty sure she was actually a statue."

"That is also really cute."

She grins.

"It is! I declare you the most adorable Dominique," says Damaris.

Soph giggles.

So does Helen!

"So you guys don't call your relatives cute things, huh?"
