The sound of the café door opening brought Crevan's attention towards the noise, green eyes turning towards the young man entering the building. His brows drew together when he realized he did not recognize the newcomer. Having been in Prine since he was eighteen, he had come to recognize most of the residents within the community, even if he didn't speak with everyone. This man he didn't no recognize however, which meant he must be relatively new to the area. Crevan scented the area lightly, trying to pick up anything that would tell him more about the stranger, but the heavy scent of cologne burned his sensitive nose instead. He winced slightly, burying his face into the coffee so the smell of coffee could replace the cologne. It wasn't that it stank, but it was heavy in his strong fox-like sense of smell and he hadn't been expecting it.

Resting his cheek on his hand, Crevan watched the stranger out of the corner of his eye debating whether or not he should introduce himself. He could remember the first time he'd arrived in Prine and the experience wasn't all that pleasant. He'd been nervous, lost, and scared of anyone that had tried to come close. Of course things were better now, even if he couldn't afford any luxuries like a collar or suppressants, he found he could manage by avoiding alphas and spending the few days leading up to his heat relatively close to his apartment.

Crevan noticed the omega owner, Kevin, coming over to the newcomer, always smiling and in a pleasant mood. The owner's alpha mate, Will, generally stayed in the back. Even though mated alphas were not affected by omegas other than their mate, it was more out of respect, knowing some omegas in the community were still very cautious around his kind. Mated or not.

"Will makes pretty amazing French toast f you're hungry," Crevan finally spoke up, pointing at the menu the stranger was holding with the hand that held his coffee.

Kevin smiled with a light shrug and warm laugh. "It is one of the more popular items on the menu, though everything sells pretty well. Will's always been a very good cook."
