Hi friends! It's me again. You'll all be thrilled to hear that I had a great idea.

What is this idea, you ask? Well... I want to throw a feast! In my homeland they're a great way for people to come together, eat ourselves stupid, and make merry. We could all use some of that with everything that's been happening lately. The spring ball already feels like forever ago, and not everyone was here to enjoy it.

There's just a few simple rules: you have to bring some food or drink from your world, or as close as you can get! And you'd better label it so we all know which foods are from where. [...He's not actually going to enforce this rule, he just thinks it'd be more fun. And educational!]

The other rules are absolutely NO fighting, and no tying each other to trees to get attention, no matter how fun and cute it may seem on paper.

[he's naming no names!! you know who you are!]

I'll send out the location of the feast closer to the time. As for timing -- how about the last day of this moon? That way you have no excuse not to prepare something, and spread the word to people who are bad at using these things!

I'm counting on you all.

[ Flatly. ] I do not sound like that.

[leicesters]

Really? Hmm... Then maybe you just get cranky when you're hungry. Are you hungry now, by any chance?

[garyoutensei]

[ Honestly, 'cranky' seemed like a default for her regardless.

But then the fact she hated typing (text-to-speech worked fine most of the time, but she also didn't like that) and preferred doing calls if she *had* to use the phone betrayed her.

Her stomach growled. ]

Listen.

My mood is not determined by my hunger, alright? I'm used to going a long time between meals.

[ Because she was a vagabond and all. ]

[leicesters]

Hmmm... And would you happen to be hungry now, or do you have an angry little puppy hanging around at your feet?

[He heard that growl!]

[garyoutensei]

Nothing a bowl of rice can't fix. Even if the rice around here sucks.

[leicesters]

Agreed... It's pretty bland, isn't it?

Although that does give me an idea. How about I take you somewhere to make up for you not going to the feast? My treat.

[garyoutensei]

Didn't I already tell you once that you were barking up the wrong tree for a date?

[leicesters]

I'm starting to think people around here have a problem with others being nice to them.

[garyoutensei]

Don't lump me in with anyone else you've managed to get on the bad side of.

... Are you saying it's not a date?

[leicesters]

It's not a date. Didn't I already say I'm just making up for you missing out on the feast?

Unless you're suggesting me throwing a feast for Camelot is the same as dating all of them, which seems... ambitious.

[garyoutensei]

You know what I meant. Don't play dumb or I'll just kick your ass and buy my own dinner with whatever money falls out of you.

[leicesters]

Yikes! That doesn't sound fun.

So does that mean you're accepting my oh-so-generous offer or not?

[garyoutensei]

Buy me some drinks, on top of it, and I'll consider it.

[leicesters]

Bold words from Camelot's stingiest sake-hoarder.

[garyoutensei]

Brewing the kind of sake I like takes time. It'll be ready when it's ready.

[leicesters]

Fine, fine, I'll take your word for it. Though you'd better not be stringing me along! I don't think my poor, delicate heart would recover.

[garyoutensei]

Not my style. I'm the kind of person that you're always going to know the intentions of.

[leicesters]

I'll take your word for it. Anyway, just let me know where you want to meet, and I'll make sure I'm there.

[garyoutensei]

I'm still in that nice hotel they put us up in. I'm assuming you know the one. I'll meet you outside in 30.

want to move to an inbox or handwave? i'm cool either way o7

[leicesters]

Yup, I know it. See you there!

[garyoutensei]

[[if you've got the time/energy, we can thread it, otherwise, i'm cool to handwave, too!]]

[leicesters]

[Handwaving works for me!]

[garyoutensei]

[[sweet! pleasant time had by all. also, if you think he would have asked anything about her background, lemme know, and i can tell you what he'll come away knowing]]

[leicesters]

[He'd want to know EVERYTHING tbh because his nosiness knows no bounds, but he also wouldn't want to kill the vibe by dredging up anything too depressing. So whatever you think she'd be comfortable sharing without him needing to prod too much, really!]

[garyoutensei]

[[i can imagine he found a tactful way to ask about her arm that didn't make her immediately end the outing, lmao. he's good like that.

as for her answer, she'd be vague, but note it happened when she was really young, and she lost her family and home in the same incident.]]
