Dite's Decadent Delights | Wednesday

[begmetwice]

Irene had added to her window display's cornucopia with another offering -- a predictable, perhaps, choice, and not one that generally evoked Thanksgiving in her experience -- and settled down behind the counter with her mobile and too many thoughts in her head. Which, honestly, was kind of just a normal day for Irene, but these were emotional thoughts, which was trickier (and stupid, generally.)

But eventually, those tricky, emotional thoughts led her to perusing holiday listings, since getting out of town during the major holidays usually improved the melancholy she couldn't shake around Christmas. But the bit that was poking, persistently, at her, was resolved a bit when she shifted her destination from tropical, airy places where they'd wish her a Happy Christmas and then offer her another frozen drink, to destinations like Edinburgh, and Cardiff.

Maybe something closer to home was finally in order? Or maybe it would just make her sadder. Don't close the tab on Aruba yet, now.

[open! also that's an eggplant dildo at the link, use your common sense!]

"I don't remember that in the kitchen gardens back home," Liliana said with a grin as she walked into Dite's. Someone remained, sadly, ignorant of emoji-speak. "Hello, Irene, darling. Have time for a visit today?"

Someone, it seemed, was in dire need of an education!

"Liliana!" Irene rose from her seat behind the counter, grinning in delight. "How lovely of you to come by! Welcome to Dite's, and really, if you find your gardens back home were lacking, it sounds as though only in inspiration. Easily remedied."

Irene prided herself mostly on helping people find inspiration in the ordinary.

"I'll admit, I was still a few years shy of twenty when I left Dominaria, so I suppose the kitchen gardens could have been giving the servants and thrill and I just wouldn't have noticed," Liliana said with a laugh. "Which is the last time I spent any notable time in a vegetable garden. Though if this is what they're growing I may find a new passion for gardening."

"Admittedly, most of my passion for gardening seems to find root in November," Irene confessed, though that wasn't entirely true; there was a certain greenhouse she'd taken an interest in recently, as well. "Mostly, I have to admit, because my holiday displays bring people in off the street, more often than not."

Case in point. All attention was good attention!

In fairness, Liliana had been intending to stop by anyway, but you couldn't blame her for noticing the purple.

"I'm hoping that as time passes, the cornucopia just gets more and more full of items until there's an entire harvesttide meal," Liliana admitted with a grin.
