(I use windows, and if you have a font, I can't see it...sorry...
At any rate, it's your post next. I wish we had more rp-ers, but maybe the cafè thing just isn't as fun to anyone else, or maybe I'm just a cruddy rp master...)

((You're not a cruddy RP Master! Anyway, you can see the font on the Pharaoh image in my siggy, right? Well, that's what my font looks like. Only smaller.))
Ame opened the front door of the cafe, heading for the same seat she had yesterday. Looking around briefly, she thought, 'Hm. Sesshoumaru isn't here yet... Oh, yeah. He stayed a few minutes late at the office today.'

Soon enough, Sesshoumaru strode in, looking rather harassed.
"I cannot believe she pinned a last clinic job on me," he thought, turning his thoughts to his supervisor. "Ridiculous that I submit..."
He took a seat next to Ame.
"Steer clear from Ayumi," he warned. "She would snare you in the pits of hell if she could..."
He remembered his final case clearly. It had been a case involving one very nasty cat and two very annoying owners. He'd diagnosed distemper and they had nearly made him deaf simpering over the cat and repeating the same things over again. He'd gone in with a hangover as it was, did he really need a worse headache?
He sat at the bar and ordered a latte, taking a leaf out of Ame's book. Only his was decaf. He didn't see how she skived past hyperness with coffee. He'd gotten over that sort of thing mostly, but that didn't mean he liked coffee that much...
"So, how was your day? Ayumi had me busy all day so I couldn't scratch my left ear if I wanted," he said tiredly.

Ame grinned. It wasn't so much that she didn't get hyper... It was more like she just hid it really well, at least until she got home...
She then sighed. "I lost one cat today... She was hit by a car... I... wasn't able to save her..." She grimaced.

Sesshoumaru sighed.
"You win some, you lose some. It is a part of the job," he told her, not to mean, but not comfortingly either. He had lost a few too. One dog to rabies, and the other to a more complicated case.
At least, to him it was complicated. It was a pup, a young one, who had come down with parvo. Of course, he was not able to save it, and hearing the pup's final cries tore at him...
Lord Sesshoumaru, help me!!!
I know Lord Sesshoumaru will rescue me!
....
The demon shook his head to clear it. The black hair, soft white skin, doe brown eyes, and checkered kimono faded away...

Ame glanced at Sesshoumaru. "I know... It still hurts, though..." She could see he was remembering something... Something painful... She sighed deeply and took a small sip from her latte.

"You're telling me that?" Sesshoumaru replied quietly, taking his own latte from the counter when it was plunked down. He tipped it back and forth as he had with his scotch the previous night.
And I wish it was a scotch now...I need to forget, he thought to himself ruefully.

((Just to make things more interesting... ^^))
Ame sat up straight as her ears twitched slightly. "Hm?" She heard a dog whimpering outside the cafe... Sliding off her barstool, she walked outside. Sitting outside the door was a little puppy... ((I'm gonna say it's a Shiba Inu... That's a Japanese breed, after all... ^^))
<<What's wrong?>> Ame asked the puppy, who looked up, startled.
<<I... I'm really hungry... And my paw hurts...>> The puppy was holding one front paw off the pavement. Ame's golden eyes softened, and she knelt, gathering the thin puppy gently into her arms. <<I can easily take care of this paw... You've got a cut... It doesn't seem infected, not yet, anyway...>> she assured the little Shiba Inu.
((How's that? ^^))

(Good. ^^)
Sesshoumaru sighed as he heard the goings-on outside and ordered a steak sandwich, normal this time. He anted up the last of his pocket money to pay for it and took it outside.
<<Oi,>> he barked in animal tongue. <<Take it.>>
He tossed the sandwich down to the puppy and left Ame to care for it before going inside again.
What would she say? he wondered to himself.

The puppy pounced on the sandwich. <<Thank you!>> she yipped before tearing into it like a dog possessed. She was hungry! She hadn't eaten in days. Smiling, Ame eased a hand under the puppy's injured front paw and began bandaging it.
When the puppy finished wolfing down the sandwich, she squirmed a little and licked Ame's hand. <<Can I stay with you? I don't have an owner,>> she said. Ame nodded and responded, <<Of course. But for now, I'm afraid you're going to have to say out here... Demons are allowed in the cafe, but ordinary mortal animals aren't, unfortunately...>>
The puppy sighed. <<Okay...>> she said sadly, curling up into a little ball by the door. <<You won't forget me, will you?>> Ame stood up and opened the door. <<Of course not,>> she assured the puppy before entering the cafe and rejoining Sesshoumaru at the bar.

"Emaciation, possible chance for distemper, heartworm, tapeworm and rabies as the most prevalent problems because it's stray..." Sesshoumaru said to her. "Would you be willing to pay for all of it?"
He looked at Ame with hard, golden eyes.

Ame's chin stuck out mulishly. "Of course," she said, returning Sesshoumaru's golden gaze. "I've got a bit of money saved up... as humans say, 'for a rainy day.'"

"You need not worry. I wanted to see if you had the devotion. I will pay for the pup's immunizations and physical," Sesshoumaru said quietly.
It's what she would have wanted...

Ame stared at Sesshoumaru for a few moments, surprised. She then smiled and said quietly, "Thanks... I... really appreciate it, Sesshoumaru."

A lone figure walked toward the cafe. His shoulders were hunched, and his expression was haggard. But, then again, nowadays, haggard was his normal expression. Yesterday was his first full sober day in two weeks...and it was the closest he'd come to getting a job in the same amount of time. But it wasn't enough. He'd just gone through the day and been rejected from four interviews...
He stopped before the door, and saw a small puppy, one paw bound, curled up in front of it. You're not on a leash...but someone's caring for you...He thought about kicking it for the hell of it, then decided it wasn't worth the effort, so he pulled the door open forcefully and entered the cafe.
One of the workers recognized him. "I see you're back, Kratos...How was today? Any better?"
"Get me a scotch," came the gravelly reply.
As the man nodded silently, and went to get the drink, Kratos noticed the two demons in the cafe. He'd seen them before, and he knew they knew each other, but he didn't know them. The vets...the dog must be one of theirs.
"Here you are, Kratos," the man said, pushing the drink to him.
Kratos grabbed it, and went and sat down in a booth in the corner, downing it in three seconds and ordering another. As he waited for it, he glanced at the other patrons.
