The Mungojerrie: Enemies, Yet Friends

[Ookalf]

*Circe shrugs.* Eh. If I'm honest, my present situation is kind of making it hard for me to be super positive.

[AmbushCat]

*a bit relieved* So, under normal circumstances you would've thought the food was just fine, then? That's good to know.

[Ookalf]

Yes, I suppose so...

[AmbushCat]

*nods* Alright.

Speaking of your present situation, I know Aldonza-chan said that she wanted to speak to you later, but I'm afraid that'll have to be delayed. Having her go all 'fangirl' over you is not something we need to see. That okay with you?

[Ookalf]

Yes, I am perfectly comfortable with her not squealing over me.

[AmbushCat]

Cool. In that case, I'll get Sleeping Beauty here out of your way and stop bothering you. *picks up Callista, removing the bowl from her face first* Let me or the staff know if anyone's being obnoxious during the rest of your visit here, okay?

[Ookalf]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

[AmbushCat]

*nods* Ja ne, then. Unless you intend to order dessert, someone will be by shortly with your bill.

*Zapana carries Callista away from the table and out the door, calmly skritching behind the hybrid's ears as she goes.*

*In the background, the pianist's performance shifts to a bit of Bach.*

[Ookalf]

Great, thanks. *Circe nods and returns to her meal.*

[AmbushCat]

*Peace. It's wonderful!

At some point down the line, the catgirl waitress returns to top off Circe's water.*

Waitress #73: Here you go... *withdraws the pitcher* There. Will you be wanting any dessert today, boss?

[Ookalf]

*Circe shakes her head.* No, thank you... Before you leave, though, I have a question. I'm not going to have to pay for Callista's ridiculous meal, am I?

[AmbushCat]

Waitress #73: *shakes her head* No, Karate-san told me that she's taken care of that already. And with that... *produces a bill and places it on the table* Your total comes to the equivalent of $5.92.

[Ookalf]

Oh, good. *Circe pulls out the needed money and places it with the bill.* That should do it...

[AmbushCat]

Waitress #73: Thank you very much. *takes them both and starts to walk towards the front counter, but pauses and turns back* Oh... if I may be so bold, Lady Circe, can I make a request? You don't have to decide now, just whenever you have some time to think it over.

[Ookalf]

Eh, go ahead. What's your request?
