[ The company is welcome! Tenn does his best to be respectful, given all the fae in the area, but he also presents a hand to the dragon for introduction (and petting if liked.) His expression relaxes - smile softer, shoulders down. He offers the same attention to any other noodle who visits him. They've been a great help, especially early on when he was stumbling through rudimentary cooking. Suffice to say, Tenn made friends quickly.

He’s content to let the little coffee artist work, his only input being an encouraging wave of his hand to add more cream. (The previous cat transformation was not out of place.) And watches curiously to see what art he’ll be graced with. The little design is cute and attentive. ]

It's perfect, thank you. [ This expression of gratitude directed as much to the dragon as 76, of course. Tenn wants to enjoy the art and so restrains himself from immediately taking a sip, but the familiar, rich scent catches him off guard. His smile wavers, nostalgic. To think it'd been five months since he'd had something as simple as coffee, and someone to thoughtfully prepare it for him. He brings the mug closer, warming his hands around it. ]

I didn't know when I'd have coffee again... it feels like it’s been a long time, but I'm also surprised the town has come this far.
