[Sandalphon's plenty of things, but he isn't stupid. It takes him a few moments without the ears or the tail to give it away, but he's seen that ridiculously handsome face enough to realize who it is.

He's never heard his voice quite so shy, though. It's a nice change of pace, and he has to bite the inside of his mouth to keep from smiling. Halluel and Malluel are hard-working, but they gossip, and they know him well enough by now that they'd immediately realize something was up if he gave Izumi the fond smile he wants to give.]

Our bestseller is...

[He hesitates, glancing over at his coworkers. He doesn't have the heart to tell him the truth, because most of their bestsellers are laden with sugar to the point that they barely resemble coffee, and the last thing he wants is to recommend something to Izumi that he might not even like.]

...The flat white. If you've ever had a latte, it's not dissimilar...though a bit stronger.

[He makes lattes for Izumi at home sometimes, so he's giving him a point of reference.

Halluel and Malluel are still busy, so Sandalphon leans in slightly, lowering his voice a bit.]

If I may, sir, I'd like to compliment your outfit.

[Even the snapback looks cuter than it has any right to on someone as refined as Izumi.]
