queer_as_can_be helped with alot of this story and Kitkat4406 helped with making sure I did the right pronouns for Remy.

The open curtains and windows were what woke Remy up, the chirp of birds and the sound of an elephant next to zem scared them off the bed with a startled shout hitting the hardwood with a pained groan, there was a shuffle of noise when a tiny elephant about the size of a maincoon cat runs to zem with a soft and concerned rumble, Remy rubbed zeir shoulders which zie landed on when falling off zeir bed.

"I'm ok mocha, I know you didn't mean to scare me"zie pet the small elephants head and they close their eyes in bliss, "I should get up I guess," Remy says not eager to start the day, "I'll be back soon, ok mocha?"Zie go into zeir drawers and get out some clothes to wear then go into the bathroom, once zeir out zey have on makeup and are completely dressed in a black denim jeans and white shirt with a black hoodie. Mocha was standing a few feet away from the doorway zie smile warmly at the maincoon size elephant "does this look alright hun? it's zeir/zem today"

The elephant dashes over to Remy excited with a rumbling noise in support, zie kneels to pick up the elephant and walk her down the stairs like every day and before putting mocha down kissing her on the top of her head.

Zie made a coffee looking out the front window above the street. looking at the time zie had an hour before the shop opens for business as usual, "we'll go get some of the flowers from the greenhouses out back then you can water them while I work on opening alright?" the Lil elephant has a look of reluctance at the statement of them being separated for longer than 15 minutes at a time away from her companion, "look darling, I know you don't like us being away for longer than it takes for me to get changed but, while your outside you can be your full size.. not the size of a large house cat. I don't like you being tiny for so long mocha, we'll go for a walk later when the shops close too, maybe if someone would like a job I'm going to advertise for that but we don't have anyone but us right now." Remy looks at the elephant who does a sort of huff stomping her tiny foot.

Remy raised zeir eyebrows at the stubbornness of mocha, "ok how about this, I go inside for half n hour without you... then you can come inside to check on me every time you get panicked about me being in danger, or you can call out to me and I'll wave to you from my window" Remy pours zeir coffee into a mug, a gift from a friend which was large enough to be both obnoxious and perfect for long shifts downstairs. It also fit the shop's aesthetic pretty well too.

Mocha didn't look at Remy for a moment seeming to process what zie had offered before rubbing against Remy's leg in agreement, zie laugh softly at mocha, "thank you for worrying my dear coffee bean but I am going to be fine, the police and ambulance patrol this street often, you've heard them before" they make a noise and look at Remy with a look that Remy could only describe as unconditional love.
