The lunch shift is unremarkable. After the others have left to do whatever it is they do all day, the two of them are left behind. The kitchens feel rather cavernous and silent with just the two of them present to cook and nobody there to eat.
"Something quiet," Astarion agrees. "The festival was...quite intense. We
could pick out some wilderness in the Enclosure? Do something extremely
unglamourous. Maybe ask if for some of those creatures he likes
watching," he adds dryly.
She sets some bowls and measuring cups and spoons out in front of Astarion, and claims her own space in front of the stove.
"Me too. And fish isn't the worst thing I've smelled like in my life." It's good he's taking it seriously, though: "... maybe we can make it a luxury river barge."
Which is good, but she doesn't give it up that easily.
"The good news is we can change it if we want to - maybe after a few hours of his ass going numb sitting on a wooden deck, he wouldn't mind a seat with a cushion. Unnecessary, really."

Date: 2025-04-11 07:36 am (UTC)I - yes, I think so. What's this about?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 07:42 am (UTC)I thought we could work on one and figure out what we're doing for him.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 08:24 am (UTC)Oh - Hells, I never even thought to ask him.
Yes, I'd like that. Would someone let us in between shifts so we've some peace and quiet?

Never thought to ask him what?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 08:33 am (UTC)When his birthday is. Or his favourite food, actually. They're - ugh, they aren't things I think about much for myself, so I don't...
I really ought to be better at this.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 08:41 am (UTC)Or want to be?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 10:55 am (UTC)...want to.
For you and Jacob, at least. I'm not baking for anybody else.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 11:13 am (UTC)And Jacob and I know we're all going through a lot of firsts. We're all figuring it out.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 11:24 am (UTC)...Thank you.
We could just stay behind after our shift, then?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 11:29 am (UTC)And, obviously, don't tell Jacob. I still need an out if I can't work out a decent pie crust.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-11 11:34 am (UTC)I shan't utter a syllable. And cold dead hands are excellent for working with pastry, I've heard.

Date: 2025-04-11 12:39 pm (UTC)See you soon.

Re: Spam
Date: 2025-04-11 01:47 pm (UTC)Astarion considers this, maybe more seriously than Rosita's looking for, then says:
"I like seeing Jacob happy."

Re: Spam
Date: 2025-04-11 02:51 pm (UTC)"Absolutely not," Astarion laughs. "I saw him cringing at just saying the word 'glamping'. I don't mind roughing it on occasion if you don't, damia."

"I'm not against the idea, but - it's his birthday, so it ought to be his decision, mm? As you say, we can make adjustments as needed."
