Dimitri laughed, thinking that Dr. Crane was very amusing. Ah, wasn't coffee a great subject? "I believe you, yes! And if I ever see you and you are very grumpy, then I vill know vhy and I forgive you! --And maybe these Doctors you know who do not drink coffee-- they are possibly alvays very grumpy?"
When Dr. Crane suggested that the visit to Starbucks was 'his treat,' Dimitri shook his head and waved his hands back and forth in a very obviously displeased manner. "Nyet, nyet, no. This is very bad for me. I am havink very much money and I am buyink thinks for myself, thank you very much! Unless, of course, you plan to be buyink coffee for me now and I am buyink coffee for you later."
He raised his eyebrows at Michael as if daring the man to argue.

Mike smiled listening to the Russian speak. "Well thank you for your advance forgiveness, though I do hope I am never grumpy towards you. It would be unintentional I'm sure" He told him. "Its very odd, the ones who don't drink coffee just seem naturally perky all the time, as if they produced their own caffeine in their blood or something so didnt need to take it in like the rest of us"
When Dimitri started denying his offer so adamantly, Dr. Crane could see that he wouldnt easily be able to persuade this man. "Well I guess its your choice then, if you really won't allow me to pay for you, I cant force you to accept, or if you'd like you can buy next time"

"Is very unfortunate medical condition. . .lack of ability to produce natural caffeine. Luckily, it is tastink very good in coffee from Starbucks, and so I do not mind drinkink it to keep good level of caffeine and alertness!" Dimitri sometimes liked to speak in nonsense, but at least he was good-natured about it.
"Is very rude to make man buy you a drink unless you are voman," Dimitri replied. "So unleeeeeeess you are tryink to date me - maybe you let me buy own drinks. Okay?" The Russian gave a laugh and patted Michael lightly on the shoulder in a jovial manner.

"Yes it is an unfortunate condition the rest of us are afflicted with, but I do enjoy adding my own caffeine to the blood stream. It can be a rather pleasurable experience if you have a good brew" Mike commented. He was am-mused by how much conversation they were making on the smallest things.
"I am very much not trying to be rude, so I will retract both my offer to buy as well as the offer to allow you to buy at a later date" He said laughing as Dimitri asked if he wanted to date him. "No, I think I'll get to know you first" he joked.

"Maybe ve are lucky vones to not produce natural caffeine," Dimitri replied in a very jovial tone. Oh, he was having a good time. Dr. Crane was a very fun person! Very am-musing indeed! "Ve should pitty people who do not have joy of buyink coffees and teas and coacoas of many kinds to fill up need for this drug."
At Dr. Crane's comments regarding getting to know Dimitri before dating him, Dr. Karloff replied in an eerie variety of low-pitched chuckle. He patted Mike on the shoulder a few times and said, "Yes, I am in agreement. Is very good to get to know person before date. But you vill scare me avay vith such talkink! Come, come, ve go inside."
Dimitri seemed very eager to see the inside of the Starbucks, almost like a child who was visiting a theme park or something.

Mike laughed at Dimitri's comments. "Yeah I guess you're right, I'd much rather enjoy my morning coffee than not need it and end up just drinking water all the time. Guess there can be some perks to being deficient of a certain substance in your body"
"Oh you're right, I wouldn't want to scare you off, I'll try not to be so forward" Mike grinned as they joked about dating. They got out of the car and headed into Starbucks. Mike could see Dimitri's excitement, he wondered if he had ever come here before or just enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.
