Working the middle shift is a mixed bag. On the one hand, Rachel's day is pretty much shot for anything else; not long enough before her shift for much in the way of adventures, and while her later evening is free it's not like she has a circle of friends or dates or anyone to go out on the town with after.

But the trade-off in being there for this shift is seeing the customer base turn over, from the people doing lunch to the leisurely afternoon lollygaggers, from those arriving for midafternoon tea to the evening dates. A wide range of people, alone or with company, comes and goes over the course of her shift, and she's happy to wait on or hang out with them all.

She can be found manning the tea bar, or sometimes carrying pots, cups, and food to and from tables. Sometimes she even gets to crash at a table or in a booth for a few, or she gets to go upstairs to wait on someone in one of the private rooms. It's a busy day and there are a lot of people to see.

Raylan has probably drunk more tea in his association with Rachel than in his entire life prior to this point.

But he wants to say hello, and wants to touch base. If nothing else, he wants them both to see each other frequently enough that they'd notice if the other disappeared.

He doesn't disturb her shift, though. Instead, he gets himself something to eat and settles himself in a corner, raising a hand in greeting the next time she looks his way.

Brie poked her head into the tea shop. She was just getting used to being out in the sun, having her own place, and getting a new job. But now that her basic necessities were taken care of, she could finally make her way to see Rachel, in person this time.

Though it's more than caprice that spurs his visit, Alan does a very good imitation of a lollygagger (it's entirely possible that, in his day, he gagged more than a few lollies), finding a perch at the counter and perusing the teas on offer as if he has all the time in the world and wants only to while it away in the company of a cup of something warm and subtly flavored. His interest isn't completely feigned--the very notion of a tea house, with all the coziness that implies, is pleasantly perplexing--but when the opportunity arises, he'll be sure and catch Rachel's eye.
