Goodvalor's Little Bivoli, Sunday

With Gryph tearing through all of Zayne's financial statements last weekend to make sure he was keeping the Earth branch of Cargryph Capital Management profitable, Zayne didn't really have a chance to come in last weekend. When he made it in today, he asked his droids, "Miss me last week?"

Gigi answered by giving a mechanical sigh and pointing to the specials.

Today's Special:
Revolution Rolls

"That's not even really a meal," Zayne noted. Also it was calling for an overthrow of management, but that wasn't as big a deal. "I'll talk it over with the droids in back. Thanks for the warning."

After he talks the droids away from revolt through bread.

A toad hopped into the restaurant. It took said toad a few hops to get close enough to Zayne to do what it intended to do, but it managed.

Of course, what it intended to do was stare up at Zayne with a look in its toad eyes that simply read, Why is it that when I finally make it here, I'm a toad?

Why the toad did this would probably not be explained any time soon, being that it was a toad.

Zayne stared back at the toad for a moment. And since Fandom sometimes had talking animals and he actually came from a galaxy with aliens of all kinds of shapes and sizes, he said, "Hi. You can't speak by any chance, can you?"

The toad quirked its head. Unfortunately, not being a frog, which would at least have given it some vocal prowess, the noise it made in response was not particularly loud. Or eloquent.

In as far as an amphibian could be eloquent.

"I'll take that as a no," Zayne said. "Okay, if you can understand me, do you want some food? If so, hop closer and I'll get you a table."

Just because he was a toad didn't mean he shouldn't get a table.

The toad wasn't actually sure if it could process proper food, but did it matter? Zayne was clearly the best ever and deserved its patronage.

So it hopped forward. Wouldn't you?

"Okay, follow me," Zayne said, walking slowly toward a table so the toad could follow at a leisurely pace. "If you're anything like similar animals we have in my galaxy, you probably eat insects, right?"

Zayne was looking down for some kind of positive response.

"If so, I think we actually have the perfect dish for you."

The toad had absolutely no idea, but any food sounded good right now. It gave a nod - as big as it could manage, considering the size differential - and made some more noise.

As soon as it was human again, it was so coming back.

"Gigi, could you get the droids in back to make a small portion of vercupti of sgazza boleruue (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vercupti_of_sgazza_boleruue%C3%A9)?" Zayne asked his server droid. "Light on the everything but insect meat. I'm not sure how our friend would even eat more than a little bit of the tubers and dough."

When they got to a table, Zayne stopped and held out a hand. "I normally wouldn't do this for a customer, but I'm going to levitate you up onto the table unless you make a clear objection."

He wasn't going to just grab and lift a naked customer, no matter what species that customer was. Zayne was trying to run a classy restaurant.

The toad squinted at him. He was a mage, then. Well, okay. Sure. And all that.

... The toad was not strictly used to being a toad, and hence might have forgotten that Zayne couldn't actually tell it was okay with that, but. Details?

Zayne didn't take toad squints as a clear objection, so he started to lift his hand, guiding the now floating toad onto the table. "You know, there are Force users who can actually communicate with animals? It's not a skill I have, personally, but it sure would come in handy."

Personally, the toad was more interested in mages who were capable of helping it-- him cast Cleanse Area so he could wipe the magic from himself and turn back into a human being. But talking would be nice, too.

He gave Zayne a look of rapt attention.

Even if Zayne knew what the toad wanted, he wouldn't be able to cancel spells, unfortunately.

"Well, here comes Gigi with your food," Zayne said as he spotted the droid. It was mostly a plate of insect meat, with some sauce and some potato-like thing and dough mixed in. But it should be easy enough to pick around that stuff if the toad didn't care for it. "If you need anything else, just... make a noise or something."

Ewwww, insect meat.

... Wait, actually, that seemed very appetizing. And now he was hungry.

And scarfing up insects without paying Zayne another iota of attention. Toads had very tiny brains, and Alistair wasn't even very good at multitasking when he had a human-sized noggin.

It's what Gigi is for.

Hey, look at me, actually having time and energy to post this.
