[Action: outside 1763 Beaver Street; Lunch Time]

[During the past few days Gremio had found himself over stocked. Now he could be selfish and use it all up himself but he wanted to share. It was a stressful place being in this town and everyone could use a break. Also Gremio himself found he needed more things to do with his day.

So lucky for you Mayfield Gremio has set up a stand in his front yard. It's not dissimilar to a kids lemonade stand, only there is no lemonade. There are two choices, one is a stew and one is a soup, they both get served with home made bread and it very well may be the best food you have ever eaten. He is serving them in little containers that can be taken by the purchaser and each serving is a dollar.

He doesn't do anything in particular to get attention, he just sits back and waits. People will come when they wish to come.]

[Phone]

I'm very glad those flowers are gone, I don't know what I would have done if my attentions had kept getting pulled away from the Young Master like that.

[heavenfang]

... Do I get some free? Like, family privilege?

[action]

[tenei_star]

Of course Young Master! Though... I wouldn't want you to spoil your appetite. I could always make you a more fulfilling lunch inside.

[action]

[heavenfang]

I'm hungry right now. I don't think I'm spoiling anything.

[action]

[tenei_star]

Are you sure? It would be very simple. I don't mind starting right now.

[action]

[heavenfang]

... But I want this. -Pointing at the stew.- It's already made.

[action]

[tenei_star]

[He couldn't really argue with Tir in the end, so he dishes some up, more than he would for anyone else and gives him an extra large piece of bread with it.]

I guess there's not much I can say in this case. Is there anything in particular you would like for dinner?

[action]

[heavenfang]

How about I take care of dinner tonight, eh?

[action]

[tenei_star]

But Young Master, you should not have to worry about doing such things.

[action]

[heavenfang]

I want to.

I'm in a good mood, so I want to cook for us. Even the dragon.

[action]

[tenei_star]

[He seems unsure of this. Not because he doesn't think Tir can't, but because he can't picture himself not doing it.]

I am very hesitant to agree to this.

[action]

[heavenfang]

What's the worst that could happen?

[action]

[tenei_star]

Even so, I feel like I'm not doing my duty.

[action]

[heavenfang]

It's not your duty to cook every single meal, Gremio.

[action]

[tenei_star]

I feel most comfortable when I do, at least for you Young Master.

[Everyone else can go get their own food or do what they if they wanted.]

[action]

[heavenfang]

Gremio, you're being stubborn.

[action]

[tenei_star]

But Young Master.

[action]

[heavenfang]

But nothing. Let me do this, alright?

[action]

[tenei_star]

[He sighs deeply, he is reluctant but he can't think of a good argument for this.]

Very well Young Master. But at least allow me to help prep for you.

[action]

[heavenfang]

Fine fine, that's a fair compromise.

[action]

[tenei_star]

Of course it is. Will you be needing anything in particular? I can always go to the store.

[action]

[heavenfang]

Nope. I think we have everything we need here.

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri peers over the stand and Gremio with her usual emotionless look.]

The stew smells quite good.

[tenei_star]

Thank you.

[He smiles proudly.]

Would you care for some? If you're unsure I don't mind giving out samples.

[hontobakabaka]

Would you be willing to accept a trade perhaps?

[tenei_star]

A trade? What kind of trade?

[hontobakabaka]

I'm the captain of the Nadesico. The ship with the public baths. Would you be willing to trade a bowl for free access for a week?

[tenei_star]

That seems far too much of a trade, I don't need something of that magnitude just for one bowl. How about one day if that's the sort of thing you wish to make.

[hontobakabaka]

Well. All right. Though honestly, I'd just be happy for people to use the men's side. I don't like going in there so I'm not sure if its set up right.

[tenei_star]

If that's all you really need I can bring the Young Master with me as well. I'm sure he wouldn't mind checking it out.

[hontobakabaka]

Consider it an open invitation then. There are several stations I'd like to see used, but, such is life.

May I ask what kind of stew it is?

[tenei_star]

It is beef and vegetable. My own recipe.

Then I shall bring the Young Master with me when next he is free.

[hontobakabaka]

Thank you. It would be greatly appreciated.

[She then takes some stew and tries it pondering]

[tenei_star]

It is my pleasure.

[hontobakabaka]

Its a shame the Nadesico's kitchen isn't fully stocked... But thank you.

[beamiracle]

[Hmm, that does smell good.]

Ah...hello, Gremio-san.

[tenei_star]

Good afternoon.

[You know you want some Lion, it's just screaming 'Eat me!'.]

[beamiracle]

[No, Lion can't just immediately ask for some, that would be rude...!

...but it still smells good, sob.] May I ask what it is you're selling? It smells quite good.

[tenei_star]

[Since it was a stand it wouldn't be, but such care for politeness will win lots of points with Gremio.]

I have to things, I have a beef and vegetable stew as well as a lentil soup.

[beamiracle]

Hmm...the beef stew sounds nice. How much is it? [BRB fishing around in pockets for money...]

[tenei_star]

One dollar.

[He offers a smile and starts prepping a bowl along with a good sized piece of bread.]

[beamiracle]

[That's pretty cheap, but with something that smells that good Lion isn't complaining. He pulls out a one dollar bill and offers it to Gremio.] Here you are.

[tenei_star]

[He gladly accepts it and puts in in a small box.]

Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy it.

[beamiracle]

I'm sure I will. [Lion takes the bowl and tries a little bit of it.] Ah, and just as I thought...it tastes as good as it smells.

[tenei_star]

Thank you very much. It always pleases me to see people enjoying my food.

[beamiracle]

Well, it's worth the enjoyment, I should say.
