Alright. Let's see what's happen with Beans and Jake...

6. Coffee

Beans blinked. The first thing, which she saw in the weak morning sun was the picture of her father, which she used to lay beside her bed. She looked more behind it. It wasn't the familiar wall of her house. It was stony. The light, which shined showed her, it wasn't her home. At least, not her real home.
She closed her eyes in hope to wake up from a dream. But nothing changed.
The smell of old wood and stone lay in the fresh air with a little dust.
Now she dared to open her eyes and scanned the part of the cave. She rolled herself on the back and looked next to her, where more blankets and pillows lay. The place was empty. She sighed. He had woken up early in the morning. She put the blanket away and stood up.
She stretched her body and walked to a bowl where she filled water. She washed her face and hands, then she walked to big mirror in a corner. It was broken on the top, but it was whole enough to watch his face. She took a seat on a piece of wood and picked up a brush, which lay beside the mirror on a wooden board and combed her hair. While this, she watched her surround, which she could see in the mirror.
The cave was big but homely. In near the entrance of the cave was a hole in the ceiling. It was beautiful when the sun shined through it and gave more light inside the hiding place.
The cave was simple furnished. But without personal things. No pictures, no books, no other furnishings. Just a place to sleep and stony places for sitting. A perfect place for a snake who was living in the wild nature. But for a lizard, which used to live in a comfortable house...
There was just an old mirror, some boxes with monition, oil and similar weapons. Including shelves with tins, cans of food, water bottles, also alcoholic beverages, coffee powder. And in another corner, wood for fire and fire making things.
She put the hairbrush back on the board and stood up. She looked around like she used to do every morning when Jake wasn't here. He always stood up very early in the morning.
She walked outside in front of the cave. The sun shined with her rays on the mountains in the distance. The Rainbow Wells area was a beautiful place. At least for a desert.
She sat down on a stone and watched the natural spectacle.
Jake told her that he would have many quarters. She didn't know how many quarters he had, but it was not his main quarter.
In summer time, the cave gave a good cooling. Beans didn't know whether Jake also was here in winter time when it became colder. When she was warm enough, she went back inside the cave and walked to a shelf. She reached inside, where she picked up a little coffee cup and a little coffeepot. Since she came here, Jake bought her some things in her size, which she could better handle because Jake used to use a bigger coffeepot.
She lighted the old fireplace and filled water inside the coffeepot.
She stopped when she heard a rattling sound. That was his sign for his appearance.
She looked at the entrance of the cave and waited. No long time and she heard a slithering rustling sound. Suddenly Jake's figure appeared. His face was dark and neutral and his eyes kept the fire like always. But he seemed to look at her with a little smack of anticipation to see her.
"Morning, did you sleep well?" he asked simply.
"I did," she answered neutral.
They never spoke much.
"Where were you?" Beans asked.
Jake grinned darkly. "I was on my round around the area. You should also wake up before the sun came over the horizon."
He meant he had said something good and smiled.
Beans turned up her mouth. "Later, maybe."
She turned around to control the coffee.
Jake looked at her. She never smiled. The sun became hotter, but the atmosphere with her made him cold every morning. But he didn't say more. He reached inside the shelf and hold out his bigger coffeepot.
"Maybe I should do the coffee for both of us," he said and put a part of his body on her shoulder. Beans backed away from him.
"You don't have to do. I can care for myself."
Jake smiled darkly. "Of course."
He opened some tins. Beans took some fruits of it on a plate. Jake didn't use to eat such things and opened a tin with bacon. He baked it in a pan over the fire. Beans watched him while he did. It was her first time that she saw him from this life side. In moments like this he didn't give the impression of a killer.
She took the pot in her hands and stared inside. Then she took a nip of it.
"Coffee good?"
She looked at him. "Yes, it is."
And that was the last sentence, which she said before a following span of silence.

Short chapter. It is short. I know. Next chapter has more dialogues.
