Sunday lunch time; Apt 7134; Emily and Cambion
The light green collared shirt did not have one stain on it even though Emily had practically prepared the whole lunch without an apron. Her hair was on a loose braid and she was wearing a pair of tight-fitting black trousers with the shirt tucked in.

The round dining table was already set with two plates, forks, knifes and dessert spoons, wine and water glasses, folded napkins and a colorful bunch of flowers in a glass vase. Wayne was sitting on the kitchen floor staring at the flowers hungrily, but Emily had shooed him away from the table enough times to make him not jump on it while she was around.

The dessert was ready in the fridge, and the lunch itself was coming up right on time. The smells of duck breast in the oven and the peach sauce in the pan were strong and delicious, and she glanced at the clock hoping that Cam would be on time.

	Emily shrugged and set her cutlery aside as well. She leaned back and picked up her wine glass. "Time will, show, I guess. I'll be damned if I don't meet my landlord at some point, right?" she raised her eyebrows at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And quite possibly, damned if you do, he thought - but did not say. Of course. "Maybe so," he agreed instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She sipped her wine in a moments silence, before she set the glass on the table again. Emily turned to look at Cam with a smile again and was standing up to collect their plates. "Well? Do you still have room for dessert?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Always," he told her. "In fact, I might as well have an extra stomach, so much room do i have for dessert." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emily paused as she was gathering the plates and the cutlery on her arm and looked alarmed, nearly horrified at Cam. "Oh? Was this too little for you? Would you have liked more?" she asked talking quickly, afraid that she had just screwed up at what she was supposed to handle perfectly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, not at all!" He said, shaking his head. "No, it was just right. I'm just one of those people who always has room for dessert." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emily let out a relieved sigh and then smiled at him before she turned to carry the plates on the kitchen counter.

"Don't scare me like that," she scolded chuckling and took something out of the fridge. After a short moment she turned again and carried two big wine glasses to the table, but this time the glasses did not hold wine, but the dessert. Chocolate mousse layered with raspberry foam appear striped in several layers, and on top of it a couple fresh raspberries half-dipped in white chocolate.

She set the unusual dessert bowls in front of them and sat down again smiling.

	"Oh, what fun!" He said, laughing, holding his 'bowl' up by it's stem so that he could admire the confection. "Once again. It really does look almost too pretty to eat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She grinned widely and took her dessert spoon. "It tastes even better than it looks," she smirked very self-consciously and scooped some of the mousse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed, and followed suit, wrapping his lips around the treat and closing his eyes. Mmm. It really did taste better than it looked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was refreshing to be able to see and hear the responses and reactions of her "customers" as opposed to sending out food from the kitchen to anonymous faces and only rarely hearing anything back from them. "I hope this lunch has saved me from performing at the show, then? That was the agreement, wasn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cam eyed her over the top of his dessert for a few moments, before chuckling, and nodding. "Sure it has - but not from coming! I expect you to be sitting in the front row." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilmatar 2008-07-15 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	"I already promised I'd be there!" she laughed and scooped more of the mousse into her mouth. "It would be a real life-threatening emergency that could keep me away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could - possibly - forgive you for that," he said, chuckling. More of the dessert was savoured in silence. "Mm. I really do have to come and eat at your restaurant, don't I? What do you recommend?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes you do! It's getting difficult to get tables within two weeks, so better pick up the phone as soon as you know when. And hey," she looked at him with a 'duh, stupid!' expression, "The whole menu is designed by me. Naturally everything is good," she raised her chin up pretending to be snobby. "But if you ask me? The mutton. I love mutton, and I prepare it accordingly."

	"Mutton, it shall be then," he told her solemnly, nodding with a smile. "I'll book soon, then!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good! I'll have to ask Scott to tell me when we get your reservation. Maybe I'll have time to send chef's compliments," she grinned and brought another spoonful of mousse to her mouth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cam chuckled. "Special treatment, huh?" He said, chuckling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emily shrugged but couldn't help smirking. "It'll be our little secret." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I shall not tell a soul," he said, scraping out the last little taste of his mousse, before setting the glass down with a pleased sigh. "Mm. That was absolutely fantastic." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The spoon clinked sharply against the glass as Emily scraped the remainders from the bottom of her bowl as well. She was smiling looking very happy with herself. "I'm glad that you enjoyed, Cam. And I'm glad that you came! I like having company over for dinner. That's a luxury for someone who's single and works late nights." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd offer to return the favour," he told her with a rueful smile, "but I'm afraid I really can't cook in the slightest! I'd be happy to keep you company any time you like, though." That last was accompanied by a wink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emily gave a short giggle at the wink. "Alright, it's not I didn't have fun with you today," she admitted. "Maybe I should use you as my little lab rat, testing recipes on you before taking them to the restaurant. There's an idea."

She stood up and collected the wine glasses that had served as dessert bowls, with the napkins and spoons, and took them to the kitchen.

	"That's be fun," he smiled, followin her into the kitchen. "Anything I can do? Wash up to pay for my dinner?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh no, you already brought me this!" she patted the sack of salt on the counter. "You're my guest, Cam, you're here to be pampered. Don't even think about doing the dishes," she shook her finger at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
