She shrugged. "Because most nobles aren't smart enough to figure that out already." She leaned in, stroking his cheek. "Besides. I like hearing you nobles whine and demand things."
He leaned back, standing. "And I'd like a good brew of jamoke that doesn't taste like tar in the morning, but we can't all get what we want." He gave her a mocking bow. "A delightful meeting m'lady, but I must go." He dropped his bowl in the bucket of water, and didn't make it more than a dozen feet before she had slipped her arm around his.
She laughed. "You can't tell me when to leave remember."
Jamoke -Coffee
Added Info -"There ain't nothin' stronger in the booze line than pure alky mixed with jamocha." That 1922 quotation captures the flavor of early citations using "jamoke" and its parent. "jamocha." Both terms originated in naval slang from the late 1890s and quickly found a home in the parlance of hobos and gangsters. They blend "Java" and "Mocha," names for two places where coffee has long been grown. By World War II, "jamoke" had gained another slang sense, "a stupid or inconsequential fellow" or, more generically, "a man." One wag claims that transition happened when military personnel started to use "jamoke" jokingly for colleagues they felt weren't any more important than a cup of coffee. The "guy" sense remains rare in formal prose and does not appear in most dictionaries.
