You’ve been working with Misha Carmen (MC) for years now. The dynamic you have is like night and…nightlife-

Misha would prefer going out and partying. While you prefer the quiet and serene. Misha would talk with customers (or at least humor them) while you would apologize and get back to work. Their humor, at least with you. Can sometimes be crude. But at least they know your boundaries and never push. They’re social, you aren’t. Simple.

Recently a circus has arrived in your small city. Flyers everywhere. And Misha seems to have befriended one of the performers. Pierrot. He stops by the cafe every morning now. Mostly to see them. He seems to mutually respect you. Recognizing another quiet soul.

Soon after him though came the harlequin. Originally he was there to try and “steal” Misha from Pierrot. But quickly noticed you. You act like Pierrot. That intrigues him.

And boy- he’s like if Misha didn’t have a filter. Innuendos every other line. Flirty as hell. He talks to you when there’s not many customers. Gave you a little green heart pin. When you first met. And now he’s back. To order his usual iced coffee.
