Luke's Diner, January 31 (Thursday)

Don't ask why Yitzhak was reading Elizabethan plays today. He just happened to have a stack of them on the counter beside him today, and couldn't be bothered to look up. Unless, quite possibly, you threatened to go to his apartment and do something horrible to his wigs.

Then it was on.

But for now, at least the kitchen staff was grateful to be left alone.

Today's Specials
Much Ado About Hot Dogs
The Meatloaf of Venice
A Midsummer Night's Cream Pie

The Help Wanted sign even looked like it had been aged up to look like parchment, but that was actually because the busboy had happened to be walking by with a pot of tea when Yitzhak "accidentally" tripped him.

Luke's is open, and rather literary today. Hey, all those men dressed up as women on stage? Those had been the days.

And leave Yitzhak to his reading.

Because you know he's not so much reading as he is glamming up the costumes in his head.

Walking through town after gun club, Romeo noticed the diner sign and felt oddly compelled to go in -- the sign reminded him of a business back home.

He went in and took a seat at the counter. "Good e'en, good ... person," he said.

[OOC: COULD NOT resist.]

Yitzhak slowly, very slowly, raised his head from behind the volume of Marlowe in which he was engrossed, and raised an inquisitive eyebrow at the boy with the interesting speech patterns.

[OOC: <3]

Romeo was getting used to raised eyebrows.

"A dish of the meatloaf, may it please you," he said.

Yitzhak was used to giving raised eyebrows. It was his equivalent of about 75% of most people's standard conversational phrases. He probably had fabulous eyebrow muscles.

He nodded (equivalent to 20% of the remaining Standard Conversational Phrasebook) and went into the kitchen, emerging shortly with a plate of meatloaf, plus the mashed potatoes and green bean sides that came with it. Pulling an empty glass from beneath the counter, he tapped the side of it with one finger and tilted his head.

Romeo almost frowned -- he was used to servants who, if anything, could not shut up. But he understood the signs well enough.

"Ginger ale, should you have it," he said, taking a bite out of the mashed potatoes.

Someone who understood him! Yitzhak was almost vaguely happy about this, which was why the glass of ginger ale he set in front of Romeo was full to the brim.

Romeo looked at the glass.

Then at Yitzhak.

Then back at the glass.

"I know not how I could drink this without dampening my shirt," he pointed out.

Yitzhak sighed very softly and pulled a straw out of his pocket, handing it to Romeo with a surprisingly graceful flourish.

"A most brilliant solution, truly," Romeo told him, not even being sarcastic as he put the straw in the drink.

He took a bite of the meatloaf. "Whose recipe is this? 'Tis most excellent."

It was the cook's, actually -- but Yitzhak was in no way above taking the credit for it, so again with the graceful flourish he took a half bow.

Maybe he'd get a nice tip out of this. He could suck up if there was appropriate compensation possibly in the offing.

Romeo applauded briefly and went back to his meal.

He did, however, plan to leave a very nice tip.

Yitzhak preened a little -- internally -- and went back to his book while Romeo ate.

I blame this on the fact that my bottle of lotion from Trader Joe's actually is called A Midsummer Night's Cream.
