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.

And, of course, Gladio was there with Ignis in tow, and he'd rather unintentionally wound up matching the fruit theme in his quest to dig up some of the most unique and interesting beverages from the shelves of Turtle & Canary. These ones definitely won out because he really liked the bottles that looked like melons, and he kind of had a feeling Nell would get a kick out of them, too.

Hopefully, no one in present company who had already been exposed to them plenty during the weekend was sick of those pasties that Ignis had been whipping up the whole time, but it was difficult to not really lean heavily on the memories involved in them after recent events. After all, it was the quest to recreate these special little treats from Noct's time in Tenebrae that had sparked Ignis' love of cooking in the first place. It had been a nightmare, trying to master the recipe and figure it out, but from the very first moment Noctis took a bite and Ignis knew he'd gotten is exactly right....there was no going back for him after that.

So there were more tarts, and also some of the schnitzel sandwiches, the recipe he'd picked up from Cindy way back when that Noctis had also gone crazy for.

He thought of doing a little something with beans to honor him as well, but...without him here, that would have lost a significant amount of its charm.

Lana was here, smiling even wider as she saw the fruit. "Oh, wonderful!" She lifted her bottle. "I brought cider to match."
