PLOT
[I'm muse A]
Muse A has always been the scholarly sort, super focused on their academics. They’ve blazed through primary grades with perfect marks and because of their stellar GPA through secondary grades, Muse A has been granted the opportunity to study at a prestigious university in Paris for their first year. Muse A is excited for the honor but also really nervous because they’ve never set foot outside of their hometown; actually, they barely ever spend time outside of their own home. It’s their comfort zone and they’ve never felt that necessary motivation to leave it. And now they’re expected to spend two semesters on the other side of the world, surrounded by unfamiliar people and places! Muse B is a local, studying at the same university as Muse A.

"Erm-... Bonjour!-... Erm un cappuccino-... erm" Victoria frantically flipped through her pocket French dictionary looking for the words "sans... sucre" she nervously ordered her coffee, a mixture of jet-lag and complete lack of French knowledge made her stumble over her words.
"One cappuccino, no sugar?" the woman questioned with a thick accent, a blush rose on Victoria's cheeks
"Erm-... Yes" she let out a nervous laugh "Sorry" she said as she glanced in the people in line behind her who had been waiting... Patiently? She had heard a few groans and tsks but they were all on their phones at this point.
"Name?" the woman questioned
"Victoria" she replied nervously as the woman wrote her name on the coffee cup
"Four euros" the woman replied, shakily Victoria passed over the money and stepped to the side, much to the relief of the line.
