"I'm sorry, sir," said the young woman in the green apron. "You could try our banana caramel macchiato if you prefer? Only £3.99."

"Oh yes," hissed Mudlung. "You'd like that, wouldn't you? Take the onyx elixir of life and fill it with sugar and candyfloss to hide how bitter it is -- just like you do with life itself! Dance, giggling like fools, to your graves! The worms will thank you for making their feast so delicious."

"Er ... ".

"Pray trouble yourself no further. I know when my custom is not wanted."

With as much dignity as he could muster, the pallid Darkling swept out of the coffee shop. He thought he had done a pretty good job of concealing the fact that he didn't have £3.99.
