[Okay, that's enough adjusting for the time being. Time is money, and Azul needs money.

And to start building a network.]


What jobs might be available for a young man with experience in the restaurant business? I don't mean waiting tables, I mean running the business. Or, even better, what sorts of restaurants and eateries is this place lacking?

[Could he have just wandered around and figured this out on his own? Sure, but this way he knows what people actually want and not just want's missing.]

It sounds like you're settling in well.

[Well hello potion-rival.]

...Nowhere does decent Georgian or Greek food, but I feel that's something no one except me is particularly concerned about.
colchismagecraft: (Well crap)

[50/50 chance he's winding her up after their competitive spat before.]

You must be joking...?
colchismagecraft: (Oh this will be fun)

I'm glad I've already had food before doing this tag!

Your world must be very different from mine...

Well, I tried to cook a few dishes myself a few weeks back, give me a moment and I'll show you.

[She's...trying to work out how to send a saved picture. And clearly doesn't have much of an idea what she's doing with the phone. Give her a moment. What could be seen of her face was definitely a look of concentration...!

...

There we go! She sends a picture of what looks like bread with a cheese and egg filling of sorts.]


I think that sent... that's Khachapuri, it's a traditional cheese filled bread- when it's freshly cooked you can tear the edges off and dip them in the cheese centre. It's delicious when it's freshly cooked.

[Then she sends a picture of what looked to be some dumplings.]

These are Khinkali, dumplings containing minced lamb or beef, and a few other herbs and spices- you can grind black pepper on the top or keep them plain like I did.

...I did pick up a couple of recipe books in town, if you're curious.

[It didn't strike her that it was probably a bad idea to go on about her homeland's traditional foods when she was trying to keep her identity quiet- but, well, if he had no idea what Georgia or Greece even were, she was fairly confident that her legend didn't exist where he was from.

Also she's chronically homesick please let her gush a bit.]
colchismagecraft: (I wonder about that...)

Haha I'm glad I didn't just make you unfairly hungry

Magicam? Is that the name of one of the countries in your world.

And yes dumplings are common across cultures, but they do vary a fair amount- I've tried gyoza and that was certainly different to what I'm accustomed to.

[Can he tell she's not good with tech?]

Oh...similar to these networks, then?

[She's very intrigued by what these 'silly filters' he mentioned were- but no, she wouldn't give her not-rival the satisfaction of explaining it to her!]

Yes, of course...

But really I could go on about different dishes for a while. It sounds as if you're at least somewhat familiar with them, even if the cultures are different between our worlds.
colchismagecraft: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-19 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hold on, what.

...What was he, really?]


...Merfolk cuisine?
colchismagecraft: (Serious business)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Like you, you mean.

[That was a stab in the dark- especially given that he looked human- but hey, maybe he'd tip his hand.]
colchismagecraft: (Anticipation)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-19 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Screw you rival! Her lips twitched slightly from annoyance that she hadn't got the upper hand, but she tried to keep her voice neutral.]

...Interesting. I've encountered Sirens before, but this is different.
colchismagecraft: (Soulless Witch)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-19 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Sirens as in... will sing and lure sailors to their deaths. More half-bird than merfolk.
colchismagecraft: (Neutral/Watching)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-19 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen birds dive for fish but otherwise no... clearly those people have never actually been at sea before.

[She was willing to humour it at least?]
colchismagecraft: (Sigh...)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-21 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sirens were a pain to deal with, but it was only one of the many trials from their voyage.]

...I suppose so.

Well, in any case, have you been getting many interesting restaurant ideas from this?
colchismagecraft: (Wouldn't you like to know?)

[personal profile] colchismagecraft 2021-03-21 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ambitious, aren't you?
