*trots in from the kitchen carrying the usual huge tray filled with bowls of nibbly stuff and goes to the blackboard, pauses to wave at Angelo before writing*

Tonights Specials!

Rack of Venison with red currant sauce

Pheasant casseroled in red wine

Tofu burgers

Caramel shortcake with fudge sauce.

*adds in small apologetic letters*

Aplogies to the clientele of Milliways for last nights 'salmagundy'. I have fed it to the squid.

*begins tour of room, setting bowls of crisps and nuts on the tables*

Angelo pauses in his conversation with the Man with No Name to wave back cheerfully.

Hullo, Gil.

Can I get a slice of the shortcake, please?

*smiles*

Of course you may, Lady. Would you like your fudge sauce hot?

Yes, please.

Do you have time to sit and talk to your friendly, neighborhood Muse?

Oh ...

*goes a bit pink, which is rather noticeable since not much of him is covered by his apron*

Certainly, lady. Just let me get your shortcake.

*obtains a large slice from the bar and places plate, spork and napking in front of her*

I do hope you enjoy it.

*She takes a sporkful and tries it*

Mmmm...mmmm...ooh...This is really excellent, Gil. You have such style.

Me? Style?

* puts hand over mouth to stifle nervous giggle*

Well, I think I do make rather nice cakes and - and you lady make such lovely music.

Incredible style.

If Musehood were elected, you would definitely be Muse of Cooking.

*She continues to eat the cake*

We're so lucky to have you here, it would be a tragedy if some other restaurant had gotten you first.

A Muse of Cooking, eh? With vineleaves round my horns and a really big spoon - that would be fun!

*grins*

As for some other restaurant getting me first, where else would a cooking faun end up? Milliways is really the only option.

And where else would I get the chance to feed a Muse as well? And I fed Ares last night and there are the angels and - and - pirates and cowboys.

It's such fun - wish I wasn't the only faun here - but on the whole it's great fun.

No one out there knows what they're missing. As for being the only faun, well, you're unique. The only special you we have.

I think we should elect you Cooking Muse of Milliways. Get you your own altar, maybe a golden stove...

*She smiles and thinks about this, while finishing off the last of her cake*

That's so kind of you, Lady. But I fear a golden stove might melt - I think a nice steel one is more practical for a working faun don't you?

And anyway - you are our Muse! I don't think we need another one when you inspire us.

*sighs*

I really think I ought to get back to work, Lady. Thank you for talking to me.

Have a nice evening.

[ooc - UK bedtime calls I'm afraid, nighty night]

And you, Gil.

*She smiles and gets up to wander off to a booth to play her spheres*

[OOC: G'night! This was fun, we should do it again!]

Hi there, Gil. What is tofu? *mispronounces it as two-fu*

I'm not quite sure, Holden, but an awful lot of people seem to like it!

Well, burgers are good. I'll try one.

That's brave of you!

*giggles*

Tell me what it's like and I might try one later.

*looks at it*
*prods it*

*takes bite and chews*

Tastes like a dish sponge. People actually like these? What animal is this goddam meat from anyhow?

Not sure it is an animal - or not one that I'm familiar with.

Want to swap it for a proper cheeseburger with fries?

Yes, please, Gil!.

Bar, I need Strongbow after that. Just the one.

*cider appears and Holden leans forward and kisses the bar*

ooh, Strongbow! I prefer Woodpecker myself - or a pint of scrumpy.

Um, Strongbow is waht Tonks drinks.

*blush*

*looks closely at Holden*

Tonks is ever so nice, isn't she?

*pats Holden on the arm and goes to fetch his cheeseburger and fries.*

*blushes more*

Um, yeah.

*sighs*

[ooc: oh boy! my lip's quivering here. Want to meet up later for a man to faun discussion of love and Tonks and cider?]

[ooc: I would love to but that depends on when is later? did that make sense?]

[ooc: I'm on GMT and it's 18.02 so it won't be much later. let me get the dinner on OK?]

ooc: Sure. I am on EST so it is 1 pm here. :D I'm at work - but eh...
