Tuesday Night at Nell's

[mylandmyrules]

Tonight was fresh fruit night at Nell's. Not that she didn't still have some baked goods around, but she'd set out cubes of watermelon alongside bowls of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. She'd also sliced some up and turned others into sauces to go over ice cream if people so desired.

She was also aware that people might be feeling a bit pensive after the events of the weekend, so she was prepared to be flexible with whatever people wanted to do tonight. They could always just sit and watch the stars and talk if sports or games didn't suit.

"Filled with fruit, huh?" Gladio asked, straining his neck as if to take a peek as he instinctually started heading that way regardless. "Great mind strike, once again. But, yeah, I was these and knew I had to see if they tasted as good as they looked."

"They do look tasty," Nell agreed. "Part of me wants to try them all!"

She smiled up at him. "Maybe we can share. We can try more that way."

"Maybe--" Gladio started, but then he cut himself off with a snort. "Actually, maybe not."

Then, he explained: "I was going to suggest we could sort of try to do a blind taste test of them as kind of a game to see if we could tell which was which, but that's hardly a game, Iggy'll probably be able to tell as soon as I open one of the bottles."

"Maybe he doesn't get to guess," Nell said with a smile. "Maybe he just gets to tell us who's closest after the rest of us guess."

For a moment she'd thought he meant maybe they shouldn't share and a part of her was irrationally disappointed.

"That might work," Gladio allowed with a grin, and a decisive, sort of impressed kind of nod. "I think anything we might try to do that involves a game and food, he's instantly disqualified. Guess...the same could go for me if we get into any arm wrestling. And you...flower arranging, maybe? You'd definitely have to be the judge on that one."

Nell chuckled. "I don't know. You might be better than you think at flower arranging. Now identifyig plants or seeing whose plants could grow best - I'd have to judge that for sure."
