"Of course! Would you like it stir fried or in a casserole? And what kind of curry would you like? Any kind in particular?"

*It seems like the Blooming Lotus seemed to have everything; from many different cultures all around the world.*

*Hu Lang's eats twitch once she hears the first syllable of killing, and twitch again once she hears fighting. The group she was serving... Seemed nervous. Shocked. Not happy customers. She also swears that Katherine looked far different than before. The limb armor was the same, but her hair seemed less vibrant and cut short, and a steel visor covering her eyes? What was that for?*
Ernest
*Katherine turns to the oriate, a kind face hidden by a steel visor.*

"I'll have... I think it's called a Fettuccine Alfredo? And some white wine, if you have any.

"It does, a little... But I mainly take care of beasts and the like. When doing 'other' work, I try not to think about it. I haven't been doing it of the late. Last time I did it was... I'd say in the late spring, early summer? I also wasn't really eager to get back into the work due to-oh, that's right."
Julia
_Almann grins._

"This? Yes it is a puzzle. A toy of sorts that's popular among lora children and adults alike. I made this one by hand, it took me a couple of weeks to get a grasp of, but these are always good presents. I plan on making more for family back home, they enjoy knickknacks and toys like this one. Usually they have valuables and other things in them, like sweets or valuables. Mine has..."

_He pulls out a ring with a large gemstone, staring at it for a moment and then staring at the oriate's eyes, and then staring back at the gem. Almann stands up and holds the gem to one of her eyes, assessing both thoroughly and then sitting back down. It seems to perfectly match one of the heterochromic eyes._

"Your eye matches this gem. You're a lucky lady to have such beautiful eyes, if you ask me. The lora who found this gem looked hundreds of meters below the surface, but little did I know I'd be so fortunate to find something comparable on the surface." _Almann smiles._

_He then straightens his demeanour, pockets the ring, and goes back to the matter at hand, recognising the changing atmosphere he decides to be as vague as possible where fighting and killing is concerned._

"As for food, I'll just get whatever Sirdan's having, and whatever beer is your special today. I'm Almann, by the way..."

_He then turns to Sirdan._

"...And as for my experience with such things Sirdan, no, it doesn't really faze me anymore."
Leopoldo
"Ah. Curry... I'd like something really beefy. Perhaps the cut of the beef with fat and flavour - brisket and short ribs." *He said,*"The yellow type." *Sirdan added, and then turned toward Katherine,*"Fat... Fat... Fatttu... Cinnee... Alfredo? Fatto Chin Alfredo? Huh?" 

*Sirdan looked visibly confused by the name of the dish, but decided to not press on for reasons of sensitivity.*

"Drinks - I'd like a large glass of orange juice. If that's not in season, just lemon and tea." *Sirdan rolled his shoulders, a crack coming from both of it, as he noticed his companions' expression changing for the grim. He surely messed up.* 

"Mmmm... It's what I wanted to be - mostly dealing with wolves, wild beasts and the like. But recently, it's been all people work that's assigned to me. And it is rather... Traumatizing, you know?" *He placed one hand to his mouth,*"I strive for the ideal... Of capturing most people rather than having them eh... Yeahed. But I swear, the battlefield for us adventurers is far more deadly than a real one."
Robert
*It seems like the newcomer was extremely charismatic. Really did have a way with words. The okamimi's silver tail can be seen wagging behind her as Almann comments on her gem-like eyes.*

"Alright, so two brisket and short rib medleys, two yellow curries, white wine, and a beer. How about you, Sirdan-san? Anything to drink tonight?"
Ernest
*Katherine lets out a small laugh as Sirdan attempts to pronounce the name. She was confused on what it had meant at first as well. Yet it had served as one of her favorite comfort foods, due to its warm, rich taste.*

"Ah, it's a dish my parents enjoyed. One of my favorites as a child. It's a pasta dish with a thick cream sauce, often served with chicken. Fettucine is the noodle name, and Alfredo is the sauce."

*Metal clanks as Katherine shrugs.*

"Don't ask me why, I don't understand either."
Leopoldo
*Sirdan blinked, and then turned to Tian Hua. Sirdan San? That was not his last name if he recalled... In fact, he doesn't have a last name.* 

"Sirdan... San? Is that a honorific of some sort?" *He asked, thinking about what to drink,*"Right. I shouldn't have tea this late. Do you have any of that... Fancy chocolate drink? I heard it is an import. Strangely bitter but sweetened. I'd like to try it out." 

*He turned toward Katherine next, curious about the dish.* 

"Fettucine... Alfredo. I'd like to try some of that too. Two serving if you have it, please. What should I call you by?" *Sirdan looked at the fox.*
