"Coming right up!" Emile said, about to go back to the kitchen and ask Colton if you could put out a breakfast order onto a plate. However, as he was about to do that, he saw the old man pull out a map and look over it intently. If Jasper was trying to get his attention, it was working.
He didn't want to keep the man waiting though, so filled up a tankard of beer and went behind to the kitchen briefly, telling Colton his order. He brought over the tall beer, setting it on the table in front of Jasper, who was still looking over his map. The young man couldn't help himself and since Jasper was the first customer of the day, he felt there was no harm in talking to him for a bit. If the old man wanted to that was. It wasn't as if they had other customers yet.
"Are you going somewhere exciting, sir?" He asked. He theorised that a man like Jasper might be off to visit relatives, perhaps even grandchildren.
