Quen and Darius were already at the restaurant for lunch. The table was set with a half dozen small bowls for everyone to share, filled with things like several different varieties of pickled vegetables marinated in hot red pepper, jellyfish tentacles, tiny roasted fish in a sweet and salty coating, and blanched seaweed. Each place setting had its own small metal bowl of rice, covered with a lid—the best way to cut the spice of this type of cooking. The center of the table housed a covered grill. Later, they would receive a platter of uncooked meat, which they would cook on the grill and then wrap in lettuce leaves smeared with hot bean paste.
Quenten had asked that the bowls of side dishes be placed in a neat row, between herself and the grill, so that she could find them. She wouldn't be able to help cook the meat, but she figured the boys would be willing to do that for her. For some reason, boys seemed to enjoy cooking meat.
She was listening carefully for Theo's arrival. Theo was Darius's half-brother and not Quen's, but Quenten had never agreed with the idea that Darius got to have a brother that was not also hers, and so she'd adopted him the first time they'd met as an honorary brother. As a result, she was always very happy when Theo made time to spend with Darius and her, and she, like her Mama, considered him part of the family.
