It was almost as if she was watching the Food Network again. Where did he learn to cook like this, with such ease and what looked like accuracy. The smells from the food were enough to make Ari's mouth water, especially in her current state. Japanese cuisine was good, then again she thought a lot of things were good. Tonight though, it smelled amazing. <em>'He must really know what he is doing!</em>' she thought as she decided she should probably clean up for supper. Walking over to the kitchen door, Arianna removed her dirty apron and hung it on the hook next to the door. Taking a look at her clothes, only her knees were dirty, she managed to keep her skirt of getting too full of dirt this time. <br/><br/>She would definitely need a shower tonight. She paused as the man started to ask her a question, and then returned to the island in the middle of the kitchen, sitting on a chair on one side. "Food restrictions? No... not really. I'm not allergic to anything if that's what you mean?" she replied. With clean hands she went into the cupboard and pulled out plates. She walked over to the rather large kitchen table and sat the stack of plates down on top of it. One by one she daintily placed the plates parallel to the chairs. She counted, she needed a few more plates, and it looked like people might have to eat at the island. She had to pause for a moment as Charlie came in and blurted something out too fast for her medicated brain to understand and then ran out. <br/><br/>"I caught... none of that" and then as she was grabbing more plates Charlie was back and yelling to Lee downstairs. Lee was downstairs? That must have been who she heard shuffling about from before. "Wait... Lion dude?" Arianna looked at the cook and held a confused look upon her face<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The mystery man shook his head and swallowed down the food he had been sampling, "Nah, I was just wondering if you had any restrictions like the big girl does?" he asked, "Like... kosher food... vegetarian diet .. or maybe you just dislike cabbage or something?" He chuckled and flipped the fried beans before turning them off. Next, he began creating a flour and water batter before slicing onions, mushrooms and sweet potatoes, to anyone familiar with Asian cuisine, it was obvious that he was going to make vegetable tempura.<br/><br/>Unlike Arianna, he heard Charlie's call loud and clear. He slyly slid his dark eyes over to watch Arianna's reaction. When she looked back he smiled and said, "You and I ... may want to have a talk later..."<br/>
