The wonderful thing about Earth was that there were so many fascinating things to learn and explore. The problem with Earth? Coffee.
Grey had tasted the bitter, ambrosial nectar on his very first day here. The very first few moments, even. Since he'd tasted the java the blonde fairy had been utterly consumed by having more of it!
One would think remedying such a trivial problem would be fairly easy; after all they sold it for less than a dollar at gas stations and handed it out for free at the contractor entrance in most hardware stores. But being so very brand new to the human plane Grey didn't know anything about gas stations, or Home Depot or money. OH MY!
Since meeting his first and thus far only human and then saying goodbye to her the fae had been lurking around the java shop for the better part of the night on into the morning.
When the sweet girl that worked there had finally thrown him out last night she had pointed a few blocks over where a shelter was but he had been too distracted by her golden hair moving in the breeze and the rumbling in his stomach to find out what a shelter was. Besides he just wanted coffee. The female had told him they were closed but would open back up first thing, and so he had waited. And waited. By now he was dying of starvation and thirst (not really but it had been quite a while since the poor thing had eaten and it sure felt like that) and too preoccupied (and terrified) by those big honking metal beasts that he hadn't moved from that very spot.
Some time just before dawn bloomed bright and pastel in the sky above a different female had come to open the store back up. She wasn't as kind as the golden haired one from the previous evening and when she looked him up and down she shook her head and pointed out that shelter again.
Grey was completely frazzled and just about ready to go home. He just wanted some more coffee, first. And so he proceeded to pace impatiently back and forth in front of the little coffee shop until he got some.
