"Hot chocolate delivery! It's a bit cold outside, so here's something to warm up with."

"That dangerous? What exactly do you do for your job?" Vivienne questioned, her head slightly cocked to the side and threw a glance around.

"Really? I see." Vivienne rubs the back of her back as she followed him. "Must be important. All I do is work at a café."

"Yes, of course." Vivienne nods and followed him down the path, silent for a long moment. "So uh, you said you watch over this cemetery?"

"Hot chocolate delivery! It's a bit cold outside, so here's something to warm up with."

"Ah, okay. I'll try to keep that in mind." Is she disturbed about anything else possibly trying to talk to her out here? Perhaps. But she was just going to stick close and follow him out.

"Yes please, thank you very much." Vivienne let out a sigh of relief at the offer. She certainly would not have found her way back if she tried to do it herself considering she didn't even pay attention to where she was going.

"Um, yes. Yes I am a civilian." Vivienne nods, her hand moving to curl around her own bicep with her gaze sweeping the area momentarily. "I see. Well, my name is Vivienne. Please to meet you. Apologies if I have disturbed at all."

She clears her throat awkwardly. "I suppose I wandered around without paying attention where I was actually going."

The young woman visibly jumped when he showed himself before her, a small startled sound escaping from her. She was quick to attempt to compose herself, key word being ATTEMPT. "Oh, uh... yes actually..."

"Sure thing! Coming right up." Vivienne nodded and moved to work on the iced mocha first. Once it was made, she got the slice of pie and gave him his order and the receipt. "Here you go, and the total is on the receipt."

"Oh? Really?" Vivienne blinked then looked to the menu. "Well maybe I could assist you. I could just get you some regular coffee and see if you like it?"

The sound of the bell on the door sounding off and pulled her attention from her task, her gaze shifting to look to whoever had entered. "Hello! Take your time to order!"

Upon hearing the bell of the café entrance, she turned her attention to the individual who had entered. "Hello! How can I help you? Do you need some time before you order?"

It's been a long, slow day in the café. It's been peaceful for the most part, at least. The café speakers had music playing at low volume while Vivienne moved around to manage some dishes that were needing washed.

Vivienne had just finished an order and collected payment, waving the customer off. Today was a slow day, not that she minded. Since there wasn't anyone else around at the moment, she moved to the dishes to wash them with a soft hum.

Vivienne moved around behind the counter as she prepared a drink for a customer, then handed it over to them and collected the payment. Her focus turned to the next in line. "Hello! How can I help you today?"

She moved to a smaller town, choosing a modest apartment and a café job deliberately far below what she was "meant" to have.

She realized she was living a life orchestrated by others. People spoke FOR her, decisions were made AROUND her, and her values were tied to her composure and compliance.

Rather confronting her family directly, something she was never good at, she left quietly.

At some point in her early twenties, Vivienne reached a breaking point. Not through rebellion or scandal, but through emotional exhaustion.

From a young age, Vivienne learned how to be pleasant, composed, and agreeable. She learned how to smile at strangers, how to sit quietly while adults spoke around her, and how to blend into elegant rooms without causing disturbance.

Backstory: She wasn't born into an ordinary life, rather she chose to have one. She comes from a wealthy, well-connected family. She had private education, privileges, and so much more, but had little freedom.

Skills: Exceptional memory, very steady hands and quick learner.

Interests and hobbies: Singing, making coffee art

Negative/Flaws: Easily overwhelmed, avoids confrontation even when she should stand up for herself, bottles her emotions, feels guilty saying no (especially to people who need help)
