Who: Noric and Xavier
When: Day 58, evening
Where: Apartment Upsilon
What: DATE NIGHT

[So, having managed to send Xavier off on an errand for a couple of hours, Noric has used the intervening time to whip up a dinner. It's pretty difficult to make things fancy without going to the gods for extras, so instead of doing that, he's gathered up a cluster of fairy lights and put them into the vase on the table. Then set out the plates.

And now he's sitting on the couch, waiting.]

Maybe I should have gotten more of the lights...

[that would be the other reason Noric decided against using the teahouse.

comes back quick enough, and serves up thinly sliced lizagon in a creamy sauce, before whisking the tray back to the kitchen area and sitting down next to him.]

[intellectum]

Impressive.

[untempered]

[wryly]

Not as hard as getting it all done without you noticing.

[intellectum]

Yes, I believe I would have actually noticed, this time.

[untempered]

The errand was real, at least?

[intellectum]

There is that.

[trying the food now]

[untempered]

[starts eating as well, though there's a trace apprehension about whether he'll like it.]

[intellectum]

[smiles]

Stop fretting. It's good.

[untempered]

Well, I haven't made that sauce before.

[intellectum]

Really?

[untempered]

No. I had to experiment a bit in the kitchen downstairs.

[intellectum]

That must have been fun for you.

[untempered]

... a little.

[intellectum]

Only a little?

[untempered]

It can be frustrating, you know.

[intellectum]

I'm sure.

[untempered]

Especially with foreign ingredients...

[intellectum]

Well, rest easy. It's good.

[untempered]

Not just yet. This isn't the only course.

[intellectum]

[eyes him]

Dearheart, how much food did you make?

[untempered]

Don't look at me like that. There's this, the main course, then dessert.

[intellectum]

I see.

[untempered]

Besides, we could use bigger meals.

[gets up, clearing the plates.]

[intellectum]

That's true.
