The back room of the shop is full of crates, some still full, and there's a long counter with a tea tray, a coffee maker, a stack of mail to be opened, and a few books in Italian and French, with familiar sigils on the spines.
There are only two cups on the tray, but there are cookies and fruit to be eaten. Balthazar glances at Dave, then back at the tray. "Sure, I can do that. Or I have orange juice upstairs. I don't really keep soda pop around, sorry."
