Genealogy of Gold
It was a humid summer day, hardly the kind of weather Eduard liked walking around in. The mall he wandered was buzzing with people, their sound echoing through the halls like so many annoying contraptions. Groups were everywhere. It was, all in all, an oddly busy Saturday. This place was usually emptier than... this.
The door to the nearest coffee shop opened, jingling with a little bell to warn that a customer had entered. Immediately, the man was hit with a nice, cold wave of air, probably from the well-hidden air conditioner behind the large, overhead menus behind the counter. The people inside were still loud, of course- it was a coffee shop, of course there'd be friends meeting and all that- but it was acceptably so with the cold.
Eduard headed to the counter, already scanning the menus. Doughnuts sounded nice. Maybe paired with iced coffee and caramel. He had enough money in his pockets for that, at least.
