Luke's Diner [Tuesday, September 14th]

When Sookie came into work today, she was more than a little confused at the...green additions. Sure, it was all eco-friendly and stuff, and hydroponics were very popular these days (even in legitimate circles!) She was just a little surprised at the suddenness.

Though, really, she was more impressed at how Lacey had managed to get those wall planters and hanging tomato thingies in so fast. And secretly hoped this didn't mean she couldn't still make really unhealthy food. She was pretty sure even the lure of sparkling personality wouldn't be enough for her friends and boyfriend to visit her at work if there weren't burgers and pie involved.

Luke's was open, if health-conscious.

For no Sookie.

For extra Sookie!

"You mustn't tell Susan I was here two days in a row," Rilla hissed as she slid into a seat.

"I won't tell her," Sookie assured her, despite the fact that she had absolutely no contact with Susan and thus had no idea how she'd tell her anyway. "Are you visitin' me in secret?"

"Well, not entirely," Rilla said, "but I made the acquaintance the owner of this establishment yesterday and Susan has views about the importance of home-cooked food."

"My gran had similar views," Sookie assured her. "And I tend to cook most of the stuff that comes out of the kitchen on my days here. Or I start it, anyway. So don't feel too guilty."

"I won't then," Rilla said with a little grin. "What's good today?"

Sookie eyed the planters before offering, "...salad? Though the souffle's pretty good, if I say so myself."

"Souffle is French, right?" Rilla asked. "I had Italian yesterday," she added proudly.

"For the first time?" Sookie spiked a brow up, since that seemed so weird to her, having grown up with spaghetti and ravioli and all even in Bon Temps.

"Susan doesn't much hold to foreign cookery," Rilla said diplomatically.

"But what about French? Isn't French Canadianism kind of a thing up there?" she wondered.

Rilla nodded. "That's mostly kept in Quebec," she said, "though we do have a few French laborers who help bring in the harvests. I'm learning French, and Walter just adores the country. He wants to see Paris some day."

"Don't you, too?" Sookie asked a little dreamily. "Paris seems so romantic."

"The Tower and the art and the history, and oh, it sounds lovely," Rilla sighed. "I will be terribly disappointed if Walter doesn't invite me along."

"If he doesn't," Sookie assured her, "make sure he understands that there will be full retribution. Put frogs in his shoes or something."

"But then I'd have to touch a frog," Rilla said, wrinkling her nose up. "Maybe I could get Carl to do it for me!"

"You can touch a frog, Rilla. Be brave," Sookie said.

"No, I draw the line at frogs," Rilla said. "Carl was always bringing over bugs and spiders and tiny creatures for me to see. Frogs and I are not friends."

"Bugs and spiders are gross but froggies just ribbit and are so cute!" Sookie replied. "C'mon, do it for women's lib. We've got the vote and we can drive and all here in the twenty-first century. Touch a frog for feminism."

Rilla stared at her with wide hazel eyes. "We can vote?"

"You didn't know?" Sookie asked, brows arching.

Rilla shook her head. "We can't vote at home. Well, I'm fourteen, I couldn't vote in any case, but it's only for men."

"Almost a hundred years here in the States, honey," Sookie assured her. "You can vote. I mean, not until you're eighteen, for real, but for school stuff anyway."

Rilla clasped her hands together in delight. "Truly?"

"For realsies," Sookie said with a giggle.

"What a wonderful responsibility!" Rilla squealed, perhaps taking her vote in a student council race a tad seriously.

Today's word of the day:

ambrosial: exceptionally pleasing to taste or smell; especially delicious or fragrant.

I am napping for a bit! But shall pick up pings after, swearsies.
