Hadrinn walks by, carrying a tray of drinks. He looks at Laenid, Jin and Hitome. "Nyder will be with you in a minute. Rajni, just give me a moment and we can get to the cakes."
She nods, "Sure, no worries."
Hadrinn brings the drinks to the group of six and passes them out. "What would you like to eat? We have venison steaks with roasted potatoes, rabbit stew and broiled tuna."
"I'll have the venison steaks."
"I'll give the tuna a try."
"I'll have the steaks as well please. Could I have them a little red in the middle please?"
She thinks for a moment, "I think I'd like to try the rabbit stew please."
A young boy approaches Laenid, Jin and Hitome's table. "Welcome. I'm Nyder. What can I get you to drink?"
"The tuna please. " Vishanti says after a moment of thought.
"I'll go with the steak." Anyka replies.
Hadrinn nods and heads to the kitchen. "Rajni, come with me."
"Sure." She says and follows him into the kitchen.
"I'll have a lemonade please if you have any."
"That sounds good. I'll have some of that too."
Hadrinn starts preparing some of the group's meals and shows Rajni three small round cakes. "Here are the three samples. You can take them back to Elena and Kama to see what they like best. They should be big enough to get a good taste."
"Lemonade is fine for me as well." Hitome adds.
Nyder smiles and writes down the orders before going into the kitchen. He returns a moment later. "So, we have venison steak and potatoes, broiled tuna and rabbit stew. What can I get for you?"
Rajni starts boxing up the samples to take home while Hadrinn works on the meals. After she gets them packaged up she goes to Hadrinn and gives him a quick peck on the cheek instead of a hug sinc eddd he was busy cooking, "Thank you so much Hadrinn, you're the best. I'll pop by on my way home from work and let you know what they decided okay?"
"I think I'll have the stew. It'll taste good on a chilly day like this." She answers with a smile and nod of her head.
"I like the sound of the tuna." Hitome says smiling.
Hadrinn blushes slightly and smiles. "Alright. I'll see you then."
"I'll be different and have the steaks," Laenid says, after Jin and Hitome order.
Nyder jots down the orders and heads back to the kitchen.
She nods and heads home with the cakes, being careful not to drop them.
With her hands full, she uses her foot to tap on their door when she gets there.
"It all sounded pretty good, I had fish the other day though. Everything he makes is amazing though." She remarks.
Elena opens the door. "Need some help?"
She smiles, "Yes please."
Elena takes two of the cakes from Rajni and heads to the kitchen.
"Oh, I'm sure it is, with all these people here," Laenid says, looking around.
Kama looks up from washing dishes as Elena walks into the kitchen, smiling at the sight of her radiant beloved. As she sees the cakes, the hijra's eyes go wide in anticipation and excitement. "Ooohhh thiss should be fun."
She nods as they set the cakes on the table, "Yeah, it's three kinds of chocolate. This first one here is regular chocolate, the second is the cinnamon and chocolate, and the third is chocolate mint." She says in explanation as she points out the different flavors to them so they know which cake is which.
"Ooh," Elena says. "Which do you want to try first, Kama?"
Hadrinn brings the table of six their order. "Here you are. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Could I get some bread to have with the stew please?" She asks before he leaves.
Going to the cold box she takes out stuff to make a sandwich for herself since she needed to actually eat something on her break, "Do you want me to get Juhi to come taste too? Hadrinn said he made them big enough so we could get a good taste. I just wasn't sure what you wanted to do." She says as she pours herself a glass of milk to go with her sandwich.
Hadrinn nods at Derika and brings a plate of hot bread to the table.
"I'm sure Juhi would like that," Elena says.
Toni walks into the kitchen. "Hey."
"Hi, Toni," Elena says. "You okay?"
"More or less," Toni says. "This Summoner business is pretty hectic."
Derika thanks him and tearing off a piece of the bread dips it into her stew before thoroughly enjoying her meal.
Rajni nods and goes to find Juhi.
Rajni finds Juhi upstairs, reading a book.
Giving her a smile she says, "Hey, I brought the cakes that Hadrinn made samples of for the wedding if you want to come down and try some."
Chris takes a bite of his steak. "Wow, this is good."
Juhi closes her book and puts it down. "Sure."
She hops off the bed and follows Rajni downstairs.
Rajni points out the cakes to her and tells her which ones are which before sitting down to have her milk and sandwich. Looking up at Toni she asks between bites, "So, what's going on then? I saw your friends in the shop and they looked like they were getting ready for a trip. Are you getting ready to get things started then?"
Gashka digs into her meal as well after drinking half of her ale, "Mmmhmmm....so good."

Derika likewise enjoys her stew between sips of her ale, "I know....it's just so delicious. I don't think I've ever had anything this good. Except...." She trails off with a glance at Vishanti and a giggle.

Eldan rolls his eyes, sighs and goes back to his tuna.
