Home Sweet Home || Mackenzie

Sophie shook her head. “No need to apologise for stating a fact?” she drawled. “For me making a quick get away might be… difficult, but you’ll be able to sneak out at any time. Getting privacy around here can be difficult, but I think I could possibly arrange something.”

Sophie nodded. “I know,” she muttered, “I hate it too.” As they came to a somewhat empty cafe, Sophie pulled the door open for Mackenzie. “We’re here. Feel free to nab any table, they don’t really care.”

Sophie followed Mackenzie to the table, her gaze searching for any familiar faces. No one she knew was there. She hadn’t expected them to be. That was part of why she had chosen this place. She took a seat and slid a menu over to Mackenzie. “Their stuff is overpriced, but that’s mainly because of their location more than anything else. People living around here are willing to pay it. We have a family tab so there’s no need to worry about that.” she said. Most of their breakfast options consisted of various combinations of eggs, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, and toast. That was the most common breakfast in London. There was also a good variety of pastries, though. She leaned over and pointed out a few things on the menu to clarify what they were. “The drop scones are like… thick pancakes? If you want pancakes I’d recommend just getting pancakes, though. The eggy bread is basically French toast. The rest of those should be described the same as they would in America.”

Sophie smirked at Mackenzie’s words. “Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. Most English foods are acquired tastes. Or pure crap, but that depends on who you ask.” She waved down a passing waiter and a moment later he stood by the table ready to take their order. “Can I get a bacon butty with a side of grapefruit and black pudding? Also some tea? And she would like pancakes and… anything else?” she glanced at Mackenzie.

Sophie nodded at Mackenzie's words. "Earl grey for me, can you bring out a selection of different herbals for her?" she asked the waiter, then turned her attention fully to Mackenzie. "So, did you want to meet some of my friends while you're here?" she asked.

Sophie shrugged. “I’ve been here a lot but I’m not sure I’ve ever looked at the menu. Most places like this just have the same basic stuff.” she replied. “As for meeting your friends, I’d love to,” she drawled. She really wasn’t sure who she’d end up running into while they were in London, nor was she sure who she wanted Mackenzie having to deal with.
