Café Fina, Tuesday

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé wasn't her usual white dress again today. She'd be back to it soon enough, she just felt colorful at the moment. Festive.

BE OUR GUEST!
Have dessert! It's on the house!

This had nothing to do with Student Council, which Naminé wasn't aware she was running for. It simply seemed like a good day to share dessert.

There was another sign in the window:

HELP WANTED
Inquire within!

Naminé would certainly tell any curious potential employees about the fabulous benefits of working here. Such as the pepper-shaker pressing food on you when it was slow and the cheese-grater meddling in your love life. Yes, those were benefits.

Café Fina was open.

Why yes that was the Devil sitting at one of the tables, calmly looking over the menu.

Lucifer eyed the anthropomorphized dishes with a mild interest before going back to waiting for his guest to arrive.

Indeed the doctor had recognized the voice leaving him a message (http://dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com/28465.html?thread=2278449#t2278449) and he was a combination of curious and boyishly giddy!

After grabbing a quick shower, Wilson had changed into a nice pair of slacks, dress shirt, fresh tie and a sports coat.

Coming through the door, he spotted the angel almost immediately and headed towards the table. As he came up beside Lucifer, Wilson laid a single rose down on the table by the Adversary's hand. It was a unique deep gold color, not unlike the Lightbringer's eyes, with crimson rims, as if someone had lightly dipped the tip of the rose in red paint.

"Good evening, Lucifer."

Lucifer glanced over at the rose, mildly amused at the gesture. "To you as well, James."

Taking the seat across from the Prince of the Eastern Sky, Wilson sat down and tilted his head at his companion.

"This is a pleasant surprise," he said in a curious tone.

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"I should hope it would not be unpleasant," Lucifer remarked dryly.

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Tilting his head to the side, Wilson gave Lucifer a soft look.

"Well, let's see." He said, folding his hands in front of him. "Are you going to ask me to go visit any Lilim?"

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Lucifer cocked his head to the side in thought. Very serious thought, of course. "Not this evening." Because one could never be too sure it wouldn't happen some time.

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Are you going to fuss at me for using the word 'almost'?"

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"Fuss at you?"

Re: Be Our Guest!

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson held up his hands and looked innocent.

"Hey, it happened once already today, just making sure there are no repeat performances." He explained, grinned and gave a little shrug. "Okay so technically you weren't the one fussing but still ..."

The grin grew into one of those soft, rare smiled and Wilson lay his hands back down on the table.

"It's always a pleasure to be out with you."

Re: Be Our Guest!

"I was not aware that I was the fussing type," Lucifer remarked, a faint amusement coloring his voice. He looked down at the rose at Wilson's comment, the barest hint of a smile showing now. "Shall we order?"

Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Free dessert doesn't just hand itself out.

"Um... hi?" Cassandra poked her head in. Last time she was here she was recruited to produce poor art work. But whlie that had been weird, Namine had been very nice. Besides, Cassandra had had a mostly boring day, so visiting seemingly-nice people seemed like a good plan.

Re: Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Cassandra," Naminé beamed. "Welcome to Café Fina. It's good to see you back again."

Re: Speak to Naminé

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Namine," Cassandra smiled just a bit. "I... liked it last time. Thought I would visit."

Re: Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"We're always pleased to have people in," she said lightly. "You know, I think I could put a sign out that said 'Free food, all day' and no one would object. It would mean guests, and that seems to be far more important than petty concerns like money, here."

Re: Speak to Naminé

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"That might be... interesting?" Cassandra wasn't sure. She didn't really understand money. Or the whole "guest" thing.

Re: Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé waved dismissively. "I'm rambling, I fear. Don't mind me. Do come in. Are you here for a meal, or just dessert? Would you like to hear our specials?"

Re: Speak to Naminé

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"I... sure?" She had mostly been stopping by just to visit, so... list of specials sounded like a good plan!

Re: Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Let's see," Naminé said, escorting her to a table and pulling out a menu. She had the patter down to art form. "There's the boeuf bourguignon, which is beef in red wine sauce, and ever so delicious. Also the duck a l'orange, I've heard it's exquisite but I've never tried it myself. There's a duck who wouldn't speak to me if I did. And the scallop and mushroom parmentiere, which has mashed potatoes and cloves. I can't pronounce half of these nearly as well as Lumiere did, so you must forgive my painful French."

Re: Speak to Naminé

Cassandra just shook her head, "I don't... pay much attention to words anyway, most of the time." And all those options... she didn't even know where to start making a choice between them.

Re: Speak to Naminé

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Naminé considered. "I'm better with drawings than words, really. Let me try this a different way. What do you usually like to eat? The beef is red meat, and the red wine sauce is kind of dark and heady to go with it. The duck is lighter, and tangier. And the kitchen doesn't need to create fine cuisine, they've done finger sandwiches before."

Hiring? Really?

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Ze cheese-grater is so very 'oping for applicants, cherie. Seet down and speak to him!
