Snake was certain that if you didn't have SOME coffee knowledge and you lived in Washington State, you could possibly be asked to leave.

He took another sip of his coffee and set it aside in favor of the cake. "Opera cake? I don't believe I'm familiar with that." However, one bite of the confection made him a fan for life. He opened his eyes in surprise and delight at the taste.

His open eyes changed his face completely. You couldn't help but stare at his eyes that were of a dark color and looked dead and blank, like a snake's. Then he shut his eyes and he looked formal and proper once more.

"This is wonderful, Heiji. Thank you for all of this."
