Ivory has posed:
    Sunday is slow in the Coffee Bean, even as it is so close to quite some high profile buidings like the Amazon Embassy. But then again, maybe that's why it is slow and the white haired person with cat-ear headband (or is it?) is pretty much the only person, tending a tea on the table in front of them at times while doing a few sketches.

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers had an idea to go somewhere quite for a while. Ducking into the coffee shop, the blonde in jeans and a plain red tee under a well worn aviator's jacket makes her way to order a coffee and a pastry. She pays and makes her way to a small table, shrugging her purse off a shoulder and settling into the chair.

Ivory has posed:
    The feline ears flick at the sound of the door, the eyes wander up to scan the blonde. "Miss Danvers?" comes a voice not totally stranger, but not someone that she might have heard recently. "You are Carol Danvers, right?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers glances up at her name, "Yes, that's right." She offers a smile, "It's.. Ivory, isn't it?" She sits back and looks curiously at the other woman. "You were at my birthday party I believe?"

Ivory has posed:
Ivory nods as thes indicate the spot opposite them. "Last year, yes. But we also met in Central park." Their cat ears flick like a reminder what they had shown her. "How's earth treating you?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers tilts her head, "Oh that's right." She smiles and gestures, "You're welcome to have a seat?" She sips at her coffee. "Earth's always pretty good to me" she replies with a laugh. "How about for you?"

Ivory has posed:
Ivory smiles as they grab their items and move over to Carol, nodding. "Oh, not too bad, I can fund myself and my tiny label, which is something. And even managed to get enough traction to do some charity work this year. Too bad the event was crashed."

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers smiles, "That's really great, Ivory. I'm glad to hear that for you." She sits back and asks, "What was your label for again? I can't seem to recall if you'd told me before, I'm sorry."

Ivory has posed:
    "Oh, It's just a tiny label for a small nieche that is popular with some of the crowd and fits my vibes. White Persian Cat, because you don't know what kind of cat you got in front of you till you looked under the coat. That's kinda what the dressing style is too." Ivory recaps as they take the cup again and take a good sip.

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers ohh's in understanding. "I couldn't recall if it was clothing... music.." She grins sheepishly. "Sorry about that." She sips her coffee and picks a bit of her croissant and nibbles. "You know.. I know some people in the fashion industry...?" She looks curious, "Are you happy with your niche? Or would you like to see it possibly grow?"

Ivory has posed:
Ivory chuckles, ears flicking. "Comeon, you ask someone who pretty much exemplefies their nieche if they are happy in it? I might not be big, but I dress in what my line is. I mean, that... and kitten T-shirts, though those are bought because of the kitties. Did you know that cats decided to live with humans just about 4000 years or so ago?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers shrugs, "I'm asking because I was looking for an answer? I can't pretend to know. Some people like being niche. Some want to be more but never have the chance. So do you or don't you?" Straight shooter, Carol.

Ivory has posed:
Ivory shrugs. "Of course success could be fun, but then I'd also sell out why I made my label in the first brand. To enable those that can't just change gender like socks to dress as something inbetween and neither."

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers nods. "I'm not someone to force help on anyone. If you'd like me to I can make a call or two. If not, I won't bring it up again." She smiles, "I don't want to change your outreach or message regardless."

Ivory has posed:
Ivory chuckles a little. "Well, it might be fun, at least to get the kitten shirts out there. After all everybody deserves to know the fun of having a cat around them. You ever had one?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers smiles. "I've had a few feline roomies in my time. No one rightfully can say they have ever "owned" a cat, right?" She laughs lightly.

Ivory has posed:
    "If anythng, it's the other way 'round! After all, Dogs have masters, Cats have servants or so they say, right?" Ivory notes, leaning onto the table some. "How was your cohabiting cat like?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers smiles wryly. "Oh I totally get it, yeah. I love cats. They're great company. As long as they don't knock everything off the tables, counters and shelves. Could do with less of that."

Ivory has posed:
Ivory nods, a little painful smile on the lips. "Oh, that can be a pain, yes. So it was a rowdy that didn't liked where you put stuff?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers shrugs, "Not really rowdy? Just.. it seems most cats see something on a shelf or off the ground and feel, mmm.. compelled? I guess? - to see if gravity still works?" She grins.

Ivory has posed:
    "ooor they think the cabinet and shelvng is just a way up to look down on things, and then those pesky things just stand in the way. But your hypothesis is also neat. Did you knew that the french space program is missing one cat? They bought 13. One flew to space, one died in a failed launch, one had medical complications with its sensors, nine were dismissed from service without any flight. But that comes to 12."

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers laughs. "Seems plausible, right?" She then tilts her head, "yeah? I don't think I'd heard that." She turns her head playfully, "I wonder where Lucky 13 got itself off to then. Huh..."

Ivory has posed:
Ivory shrugs. "I dunno, but maybe there was another launch and they lost the rocket, and instead of acknowledging defeat they covered it up?" they suggest, mostly teasing. "What if somewhere out there in space, Félicitte's sister is missng, waiting for someone to bring her home?"

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers nods, "Could be. Though I half wondered if that last feisty feline was the smartest. maybe so smart they started a niche clothing label.." She winks.

Ivory has posed:
Ivory snorts as they ruffle through their own hair. "I doubt! That was back in the 60s, and I think they took shorthairs because they didn't wanted to have the spectacular persian fur all over their spacecraft."

Captain Marvel (Danvers) has posed:
Carol Danvers laughs as she finishes her coffee. "You make convincing arguments." She shakes her head in amusement.
