The Arms Hotel, Saturday

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Normally, Mary enjoyed a good side salad with her entree. But today, Gunther had taken the salad-making to an extreme. He was experimenting with his own homemade vinaigrettes and bringing samples for her to try. So far, Mary had eaten a balsamic-soy combination, a basil-infused olive oil with rice vinegar, and something that tasted suspiciously like Gunther's famous Henri sauce. There were salad bowls lined up across the front desk, and Mary retreated to the lobby seating area to work.

And grab some salad before Mary chucks it all into the trash.

Who will -- if you ask nicely -- grab a cookie from the kitchen to get the taste of salad dressing out of your mouth.

It'd been a while since Ender had last set foot in the hotel, but he felt it was prudent to set up their usual living arrangements when the picnic started winding down.

"Good afternoon," he called.

"Welcome back," Mary said in return, smiling at the sight of a repeat customer. "Here for just a visit, or staying a bit longer?"

"Ben and I will be here for the summer," Ender said, putting his bag down. "I thought I'd check us in. I'm glad to see you're still here."

"I believe I still have your old room still available. Let me double check my list," said Mary, pulling out her ledger. "I don't seem to leave this island very much. Sometimes I'll take a trip out to the mainland, but I haven't been home for a while. It feels too hectic compared to life on the island, even with the random invasion."

"You've gotten used to the quiet," Ender said wryly, "It happens. Even to big city people."

Well, most people. He and Ben had been on Nagoya since last summer, and staying in one place was starting to get to him.

"When I first got here, I thought this place was way too quiet without any slot machines," said Mary with a chuckle. "Now I'm happy that I don't get all the bells and whistles going off all the time. And does room 614 sound correct? I don't think anyone's stayed there since your last visit, actually. The key somehow migrated to the 'reserved' pile."

"It does sound correct," Ender agreed. His mouth curved. "We're here every summer, anyway. I suppose it was just a matter of time before certain spaces started carrying the weight of our ever-impending return."

Apparently my favorite salad dressing is too high in both sugar and sodium, making the point of eating a salad kind of useless in a low-sodium low-carb diet, hence the experimentation.
