The Cafe was quiet at this time of day, it was a sweet place that was just off the beaten track and tended to have it's own little group of customers. Just the way Theodore liked it, he couldn't really afford to bump ino any demons, or any angels for that matter. Besides, they served lovely scones. What more could you expect from life when you were a fallen guide? (Technically a fallen angel, but guide was much more modern and fitted in better. When you spoke about angels people tended to take notice, whereas if you mentioned guides, they thought you were on about boy scouts and didn't make half as much fuss. He wasn't sure if they'd the new terminology across all of the higher dimensions, there was an awful lot of them.)
Theodore was a tall man in his thirties(or should it be said that he appeared to be in his thirties, like all guides, fallen or not, he was quite a bit older) with pale blonde hair, blue eyes and a rather distinctive panama hat. It was a little risky, especially when all of the other regulars knew him as that nice man with the panama hat and the blazer jackets who never really said much but sometimes, if he was feeling generous, offered to pay for their tea. He'd given up with the whole 'earning forgiveness' thing ages ago, you only got once chance with the upstairs lot, anyway and he'd blew it. Utterly blew it. But he actually liked the regulars here, they were good people and didn't feel the need to bother him with questions.
There was just the one waitress in today, wiping down tables and not paying much Theo much notice, they saw each other most days anyway. He'd have to ask her how her pet cat was, it used to have cataracts, until he'd invoked a small miracle. Technically, Theo wasn't supposed to be able to do that now, but a guide-friend of his had pulled a few strings. It all seemed quite nice really, but he did hate this life he was currently leading, it was a constant weight on his shoulders, and something he could never really escape. Every time he was close to being happy, something would remind him that he wasn't welcome back home anymore and it still hurt. Theodore constantly walked on the line between doing right and doing wrong, and he was never far from wrong, but this tiny cafe was something of an escape. He could hide here for a few hours and just be a person, neither one nor the other. It was oddly relaxing.
