[If you are in "the base" Robin oh-so-wonderfully obtained for this whole mercenary gig, your nostrils are now being invaded by two smells. One, the smell of freshly made buttermilk waffles. Two, the smell of fried chicken aw yeah.

Nishi has finished a batch and they're cooling off in a paper towel-lined strainer — gotta rip out any excess oils, y'know — and munching on a waffle & chicken sandwich. Weird? Maybe. Flipping delicious? You know it!

Feel free to come down and bother her. Oh, and of course mooch food off of her.]

[he will eat for a moment, mostly looking... surprised!]

...It is really good.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Don't mind me while I give myself a pat on the back. [aw yeah she's good]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Not minding at all. Well-deserved.

[he will just. devour the rest of that now, yep.]

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Why thank you.

[her parents always did say a silent eater is a great eater, because then you know the food is delicious. she eats the rest of hers and wipes her hands to grab two glasses nearby, still munching on the last bite. okay, so maybe this last bite was more like a "last two bites" OH WELL. that's what raspberry lemonade is for — one glass for herself, and another for Robin.]

[oh goodness. he's never gonna get used to this kind of service. ):]

You're a good host. You know that?

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

[she finally swallows the rest of her sandwich and drinks lemonade to help it go down, before smiling brightly.]

Thank you! I aim to please.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

We could use a few more people like you back home.

[he will sip at his lemonade--it's been a long time since he's had that, too.]

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

What, are people just rude as hell? [sippin' her own lemonade]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

S'kinda the popular culture, yeah. People say chivalry is dead in these other worlds, but at least the corpse is still warm. [...another sip.]</small. As it were.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

My entire family would beg to differ. [breaks off a piece of chicken to munch on]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

How big is your family? [he's going to help himself to a second sandwich, now that you mention it.]

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Immediate family-wise, I'm an only child. Extended family, both sides are too big to talk about in one sitting. Let's just say I have many cousins, aunts, and uncles.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Do you like it? The big family part.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

I do. Sure, it gets loud at family gatherings, plus we're all open-minded, hot-headed idiots, and it can be hard to plan shit with so many schedules to deal with, but we make it work.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

... That's good. [he looks pleased by that.]

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

I think my mom would like you. [sips her lemonade] She likes guys who love food, but that is how she might con you into modeling some of her clothes for her.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. [he makes this face before thoughtfully chewing on some more wafflechickensandwich.] That sounds dangerous.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

She thinks it's a good trade-off. You model, she feeds you some of the most exotic, delicious food you will ever have in your life.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[...that does sound pretty good.]

That is at least a fair trade. I'll give her that.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

I mean, she would bust out these five- or six-course meals — complete with appetizers before, desserts after, and drinks during — for all the models and production people. You would love it.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he sinks down against the counter a little at that.]

Jeez. I feel spoiled already.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Maybe I will feel generous and make some of those dishes later during the year...

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

How blessed we are to have such a gracious person in our presence...

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Hey, I enjoy cooking, and several of you enjoy eating. As long as the food is being consumed, I have no problem whipping up dishes for your enjoyment.
