When the line grew again around noon, one last familiar face appeared in the cafe.
"Nelphy! Sorry, I'm late…" Jash sighed while taking a seat.
Shaking her head, Nelphy laughed, "At least you made it. What can I get you?"
"I'll take the Empress Affogato. That sounds delicious!"
"Alright, and any rolls or food?"
"Right… I'll start with a muffin and the Merc sandwich," answered Jash.
Nelphy nodded. "Great! And if you're still hungry for more, just ask. We'll have those right out for you."
Only a few minutes later a hefty sandwich was set on Jash's table, alongside his affogato and a blueberry sweeta muffin. The Merc was the cafe's take on a club sandwich. They would take an extra large sweeta roll and cut it into three layers, allowing them to fill the double-decker sandwich with carved meats, tomato, lettuce, bacon, cheese, and their special "conqueror sauce" instead of mayo. Jash devoured the sandwich in minutes and ordered a second one right away.
