[they turn and produce some glasses: a shallow saucer-like cup, and a glass. these are both placed in front of sqx. both the wine and the cognac are placed nearby as well, and gluttony pours some of the wine into the cup as a starter.
the horrible four loko gets swallowed up by the shadows again, and is gone.]
Is there a particular way you enjoy your duck? Sweet, sour, spicy?
[picks up the cup! this wine is very good, unless you're about to tell me it's poisoned. in which case, even better, please leave sqx's body somewhere funny for people to find.]
I think a bit of spice would go well with this wine.
[they will start on the duck dish preparations! first they tie back the sleeves of the robes, though, so they aren't in the way. the white button-up sleeves are rolled to the elbows, but they keep the gloves on? it's fine.
they are quite skilled at literally everything, whether it's cutting and chopping, cooking, or measuring.]
If I were them, I'd be glad to see other people taking pride in things - it would mean something they're overseeing has influence over more people, right?
You are correct. I am not sure Pride would consider themselves a friend of anyone. Though I do not believe you will be so easily discouraged.
[they are in robes and all, but it almost seems like they are sparkling with how much they are enjoying cooking.
or well, maybe not cooking necessarily, but showing off their skill in being able to do it with ease? it smells delicious also. they are so good at this. way better than omi, thank you.]
Ginger and imported chili are brought out as top notes of aroma in the duck sauce.
[they somehow have two knives despite the knife blocks. they toss both up into the air and go about stirring!! it's fine.
the first knife is big enough to come straight down into a small cabbage and split it in half. the second, they catch and continue on the cutting mission. such skill. much wow.]
they have to perfect the display of the plate with the duck and the sauce, and also the garnishes. it looks like it comes from a ten star restaurant. it probably costs about $5k.
they put the plate in front of her carefully. and then they pour her drink.]
[APPLAUDS. this is awesome, actually. a delicious meal and a fabulous wine served by someone who absolutely knows what they're doing? what's not to love?
anyway, she'll admire the plating for a moment before taking a bite and then sampling some of the wine.]

Who am I if not someone who takes pride in doing something to the best of my abilities?
No offense to Pride, of course.

I believe if you come to know them, you would understand why they may be a bit more disagreeable.

How did you learn to do that?

I am afraid a magician never reveals their secrets! Perhaps I am simply blessed with quality culinary skills.

Well, I guess that could be it! So - it's not just from many years of practice, then? Interesting...

Hm. Perhaps. I seemed to have misplaced something, though I am loathe to admit. It is a stick with a plush feather toy on the end of a string.
If you see it, would you let me know?
no subject
Of course! I'll keep an eye out for it!
no subject
I thank you for your assistance.

Of course, I'm glad to help! If there's ever anything else you need from me, you can just send me a message on this thing, too!
