[ Tommy just shakes his head at the compliment - a tease and nothing more, probably the same as what's scrawled on the cup. But if he's hopeful, if he's wishing for more, then no one needs to know about it except him and his dumb little cup collection - it's sad when you think about it, so he tries not to.
Instead, he blows on the hot liquid, wrapping his lips over the edge of the cup, and hoping he doesn't look too stupid when he inevitably burns his tongue, because there's no way it's cool enough yet. He manages with the smallest of offended squints, tongue beating red hot under the heat, but he plays it off. Super cool.
Nodding his head, he clucks his tongue, being mindful of the door for any customers walking in. ]
