Affurgato Mingle: July edition
♥ Who: Open to all
♥ Where: Affurgato
♥ When: This week
♥ What: An open mingle at the restaurant which is... mysteriously celebratory!
♥ Rating: who knows, probably PG/13ish?
Regulars of Affurgato might notice things have spiced up a little bit in the last several days; the decor is a little brighter, the staff more upbeat, and the food, while tasty as ever, is a little different. The restaurant is advertising a summer menu of slow-cooked BBQ sliders, sweet potato fries with honey butter dip, grilled pineapple and watermelon slices, and warm peach cobbler with ice cream. The prices are slightly more premium than usual, but ooh, doesn't it all smell worth it? Newcomers might even get a discount, if the right elf twin gets their bill. But how do you know which one's the right twin? ...Yeah, good luck with that.
For this week, the menu will include two curious additions as well: a Thanksgiving-esque meal including fresh slabs of turkey and stuffing, flavoured with bacon grease, and a slice of rainbow layer cake. The cats are very attentive, especially to recognizably good tippers, and there's a display sign outside the door with a doodle of a binicorn in flashy sunglasses shouting the words "ONE YEAR MORE, NERDS", which might be weird to those who know that Affurgato opened about six months ago. Ah, well.
Also noteworthy is the fact that an actual, tangible magical bicicorn will be running around for the first 45 minutes of every daily shift that the restaurant is open, trying to scoop people up onto his back and deposit them in front of the shop. You're here now, so you might as well get a meal, right? Don't question it.
Come one, come all! Enjoy some good food and the company of your neighbours, maybe visit the elves and see what's up.

[ Or so she's come to understand. For her personally, that had not mattered, and who could track individual dates within years when those were thousands upon thousands. Even tribute for the Empire was based upon those seeking to gain favor than honoring them with any sentimental reasoning behind it. Here it was different. A different set of concepts and ideals that she did not even have more than fragments to compare it to beyond knowing when customary gestures were required or not. ]
Not so much, for a situation like... mine. To have the... imagined luxury of a choice in it, were it to matter at all. There is little that feels appropriate in such a whimsical proposition, though it would still be for others, not for myself.
no subject
Honerva's existence should be honored, she thinks. She should be able to choose it if she wants to. It does matter. But even if Pyra were to say and counter insist the contrary to everything aloud, it wouldn't be heard or accepted. ]
You... really can't accept anything for yourself, can you?
no subject
[ To seize such a day for her own when she could not honor others for so long? How could she embark on such a choice with the lack of it for so long, and especially when she had never been able to honor her son properly. She couldn't quite place all her feelings of discomfort with the idea, because this consideration at all was still too new. ]
Although... I hope that your suggestion is not from any misplaced feelings as well.
[ Honerva may have her own internal tangles of guilt, but her experience with Pyra previously and their lack of contact until now only made her wonder if this wish for her to have a birthday came from... another reason, as well. ]
no subject
Her eyes raise to meet Honerva's once again, this time with some puzzlement mixed into her expression. ] You... think I'd want to celebrate a birthday-- your birthday-- not just because it'd be your birthday?
no subject
[ It's difficult to bring the words aloud but she knows she must say them. She'd needed time with it, struggled, but in the end put all her efforts into celebrating those who were here with her.
But in that time... they had not worked together or connected, which was mostly on Honerva, by her own reasoning. ]
Is that not the reason you've decided upon this?
no subject
...I should have spoken to you sooner. I'm sorry.
[ Delaying speaking with Honerva until now had been quite unlike herself, she realizes, and this is the consequence: now, the birthday will be tainted with the suspicion that she's only suggested it because of guilt. ] A cake made for you should not be given with the words "I'm sorry". I I want to celebrate you anyways.
[ She looks at Honerva. ] I suppose... a birthday is just an excuse for me to say that I care about you. But it's a special occasion!
no subject
[ She smiles at her, though. ]
... I know that you care, Pyra. Your ability to care transcends what so many others might only hope to feel. I did call you friend, and I still mean that. Having a birthday or not would not change that.
no subject
So that's that, then. ] You're...right. And I can still celebrate you without a birthday.
[ Prepare to have a cake delivered to you every day just because, Honerva. ]
no subject
Having someone called a friend to spend time with is certainly more than enough. And we would not have that were it not for the people we're here to celebrate today.
[ So there's no need to celebrate her unnecessarily, while her family is here and deserves far more. ]
But I do appreciate the consideration all the same.
no subject
So, she smiles. ]
And you're a part of their family. [ So that makes her included! Playfully, ] A family that makes you work and serve tables is still family.
no subject
[ When they were already doing so much, and it so often felt that what she could offer them was not enough. ]
Besides, it is a family business, so we wouldn't have it any other way. Have you yet placed an order, or do I have the honor of serving you?
no subject
Looking up, she smiles. ] I'm sorry to have kept you! [ Look at her, chatting for too long. ]
no subject
[ Silly Pyra. The order's simple enough for her to send it along telepathically to whichever twin is at the window, so it's hardly an interruption but a courtesy. Pyra had delayed her visit for long enough, why should her meal be delayed too? ]
Besides, it has been nice... to talk, like this.
no subject
So she sits politely, blinking and puzzled. ] Um... Mm! It has.
[ It's not like she's going to tell Honerva to go away to bring her order to the twins. Pyra doesn't actually need to eat anyway. ] There's nothing like having a good conversation with a friend. [ And, technically, a colleague should they ever return to working together. ]
no subject
You seem quite concerned about how my time is being spent here. I assure you that Lup would rather I talk more to the people around me than less.
[ Doing her "job" was important, but... so was the time taken to speak to others. She'd thought Pyra had known that, or she wouldn't have chanced a chat to begin with... aside from her hesitance in the first place. Hm. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Without having prepared things to say or to offer, but accommodation is something of a learned skill as well. ]
'Making friends' is not something I would ever have considered easy to do, though it must be easy for you, if you've made one of me, after all.
no subject
Funnily enough, Pyra doesn't think of it this way at all. Rather, compared to some other people, Honerva had been relatively easier to befriend. She has reasons to think this, too. ]
Oh-- oh, that's not true. I think you're not giving yourself enough credit.
no subject
You are aware that there was a long time before I even understood the meaning of such a word. Such a concept... does not come easy. I am now able to recognize that once it is there, it should not be hidden. However, you do not hesitate with such considerations.
no subject
That's very nice of you to say, but it's only so easy to say because you are kind.
no subject
She didn't understand it then, but it was just the sort of person Pyra was, sometimes seeming far too naive and then yet surprising her at every turn with her compassion. And yet she would call her kind and insist upon it. Her ears give a slight flicker. ]
Well... it remains an honor to hear that from you.
[ As strange as it is. But now she'll rise, because if Pyra happens to glance toward the order window, she'll see a fresh tray being set out with her request. ]
... If you'll pardon me a moment to retrieve it, your order is ready.
no subject
—How? How was her order put it??
When she returns: ] U-Um, Honerva.... I’ve a question.
How did you send the order to begin with?
no subject
... Hm? I sent it telepathically. We had a channel open, so it was making use of a convenience.
no subject
Is it... is that always on?
[ But no, it couldn't be. When Honerva had needed Lup to come over quickly, they had needed to call her. But then how does it work? How does it turn off? On? She has many questions. ]
no subject
[ Psychic, magic... there's enough that just seems ordinary after a while that one forgets it might seem strange to other people. ]
