Caffeine was necessary. The movie from last night had given him some truly epic, trippy nightmares in addition to his regularly scheduled nightmares. Kaidan was feeling the lack of sleep this afternoon and jogged over to the Perk for some coffee.

He nodded politely to the woman at the window seat and made his way to the barista.

"Hey, what have you got that's got enough caffeine to kick a mule into space but doesn't taste like the southbound end of that same mule?"

The barista considered a moment, "Caramel mocha with a double shot of espresso? Lots of whip?"

"Perfect. Do me one of those, please? Thank you." He paid with cash and was sure to tip while he waited at the other end of the counter for his drink.

Kaidan accepted the giant confection of coffee with quiet thanks to the barista. The cappuccino mug had an impressive layer of whipped foam and cream on top. He took a seat at a table nearby the window, separate enough to be polite but close enough that he wasn't shouting across the cafe. He tossed Isabelle a half smile, "Does it count as sleep if it only happens in fifteen minute intervals separated by a minimum of two hours? In theory, I got sleep. There were dreams, anyway."

He sipped his foam and gave it a glance of approval. "I almost think I'd rather stay up tinkering with a project tonight. We watched a complete mindtrip of a movie last night and man, did that do a job on me."

"It was trippy. It was about a little girl who chased a rabbit into a hole and wound up in a different dimension. Kind of like this island, only less coherent," Kaidan said. He took another drink of coffee.
