Jack ran inside of the small café in Denver. After the summer thunderstorm a rainbow had appeared in the sky. It was actually a very full rainbow and while most people were staring at it with wonder, it brought other memories to mind for him. Mainly the one time IxChel had found him. He had just barely survived that by the skin of his teeth and he also felt that might have been the cause of the Flu of 1918 though he had never been able to confirm it. He was just rather glad that the Elixir of immortality had made him immune to disease.

He was pretty sure it wasn’t her. The native gods of this area still had some power here and would not be too happy with a rampaging Mayan goddess. Part of the reason he wasn’t going back to Mexico any time soon.

Since he had gone into the café like this it only seemed polite to order some coffee and take a seat while he waited for the rainbow to go away.

Akantha entered the cafe and was dripping wet. She had been caught in the sudden thunderstorm and it didn't seem to bother her. It was only water and she was too old to rush in an effort to stay dry. Besides, it would be the first downpour she had gotten caught in. She didn't even notice the rainbow.

She got some looks from the other patrons in the place, but she ignored them. She was way too old to care what other people thought.

She looked at the menu and tried to decide what she wanted. American coffee was too weak. She'd kill for a cup of Turkish coffee right about now.

	Jack had got a cup of Kona coffee before he started looking for a seat. His hair was still dripping wet but it didn't bother him that much. It wasn't like when he was little and going out in the rain too long could kill you. Looking around he saw Alex. "So you got caught in the rain too then," Jack says when he gets a little closer to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex turned at the voice and smiled when she saw the familiar face. "I did. It's only a little water. Jack, right?" Akantha had to ask. Her memory wasn't as good as it used to be. There was just too much information in her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. You're Alex right?" He wasn't always good with names there were a lot of them to remember so he only remember them well if he used them a lot. "No not unless you're the wicked witch of the west," He says with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bring them by or I can come to you. Either way." Akantha ordered a large chai latte. It wasn't as good as some that she had, but it would do for now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure that sounds like a plan," Jack says. He loved how easy it was to avoid cooking in this time if he didn't have too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's a couple that's aren't to bad," Jack says, "But you are right beer always tastes better where it's made." He could only find the really good German beers over in Germany. The small places that still held the old traditions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Agreed," she said. "The same applies to wine. There's some islands in Greece where the local wine is amazing and you can't get it anywhere else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very cool," Jack says, "Don't think I've ever had really good Greek wine." He was a lot more familiar with French and Italian wines. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll have to bring some back with me the next time I go to Greece," she said. Though she had a very long history, not always good, with Greece she always went back at some point. Maybe it was the draw of home that always took her back. Greece would always be home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," Jack says, "That's very nice of you." He definitely understood the draw of home. There were sometimes he just couldn't help but go back there to Germany. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
