"I can get more napkins, just," Jesse let out a soft annoyed huff, more at herself than anything else as she grabbed another handful from the table to try and dab even more. An infinitely absorbable handkerchief... that might be a thing worth trying to invent. At least it didn't seem like he had burned himself with the hot coffee. She wasn't even sure what she would have done at that point other than feel even more horrible and maybe drive to the drug store for some sort of ointment.
"A double-double," she repeated with a nod, ignoring how he kept trying to insist she didn't have to do anything. "Sit tight, Alex, I'll be right back." Without waiting for a response she made her way back into the short line to get in that order, trusting that he'd make sure nothing happened to her own coffee and food. And if something did then... well she would just have to reorder that too. That was probably a fair enough penance to pay.
She was glad to see that he was still there along with her food when she returned with his coffee. "Here you go, sorry about that again. I'm Jesse." With a tired grunt she plopped down to sit and took a very long sip of her iced coffee. "This is what I get for only sleeping three hours... hopefully the coffee helps. And hopefully you have a better day after this." That thought made her pause and frown as she asked, "I haven't made you late for anything have I?"
