open to all;

[swordboning]

Who: Archer swordboning and YOU. (Maybe Athena too)
When: December 15th and on
Where: Right here where you need him. At least in the streets.
What: Golden Archers is sadly open. Come get your top tier food of choice.
Rating/Warning: Nah.


[Archer was fully cringing at the emblem Athena made and the fact that it was pasted on his apron. Well, inwardly at least. Athena got to have her way with the things went around here since she was the one who put in the money and most of the work. That meant her lame idea of what was great ended up plastering almost anything that had the surface for it.

But for a food stall, there was a serious lack of menu. Archer, though, intentionally wanted that. Restricting himself would only be admitting that he couldn't make things that people wanted outside of said menu. Obviously, there were some restrictions because supplies of some things were exceedingly rare or impossible to find. Which meant that rich people places had to be visited for that. But here were reasonable prices for fresh cooked food.]

Before you ask, there's no menu. So just tell me what you want.

[Customer service needed a little bit of work, however. And no, Saber, you weren't getting any free food.]

[emotive]

If it's not trouble, some iced green tea. That should be all.

[Amazing, she's not gonna go all gorging like expected...]

[swordboning]

[Very amazing.]

It's not. Just give me a few minutes.

[To hand-make said sauce. Thankfully, he made sure to make bread ahead of time because that was probably going to be fairly requested.]

[emotive]

[As she waits, she decides, why not, some small chat. It could make up for how terribly petulant she acted under the influence of alcohol during the sleepover ehhhhhhh]

Is this something you're going to do from now on, or is it just temporary?

[swordboning]

It depends on how it turns out. I may decide to stop if it isn't worth it.

[In a way that doesn't mean money. Archer could care less about cash flow.]

[emotive]

I see.

[Glancing at the sign... It's... sure a thing...]

For you, it shouldn't be too difficult right? You're good at cooking for a large amount of people.

[swordboning]

The difficulty level isn't a problem. That's not what I look at when I go into these situations.

[emotive]

Mmm... You sure make it hard for people to know what you're thinking...

[swordboning]

Learn how to do the same. And consider that part of your training.

[emotive]

Is it too early to ask when I could use my powers to incorporate it with what we're doing now?

[swordboning]

That's left to be decided. How well you do is how I base my decision on how quickly you progress.

[emotive]

[She tries not to furrow her brow too much because she's aware that they've barely begun so far. And she knows that rushing is usually not a good idea unless she's short on time.]

I'll keep working hard then.

[swordboning]

I won't stop hard work. And I won't stop you from practicing outside of what I teach you.

[Is that an offhanded hint?]

[emotive]

Well... It's something think about and try out accordingly. She's already sparring with Athena from time to time and she knows she has to maintain her ESP. Hm.]

I don't think I asked you before, but who taught you swordsmanship, Archer?

[In her opinion, he's obviously really good, but that's just from her perspective.]

[swordboning]

Even if you asked me before, I don't plan on answering that question.

[Is he bitter about the answer? YEP.]

[emotive]

... Athena's right...

[swordboning]

About what? That's a vague statement.

[emotive]

If you can do it, then I also have the right to reserve my answers.

[swordboning]

If you want. That's not my problem. Either way, if I was actually curious, I'd just ask Athena.

[emotive]

[She sighs. He called her a child who doesn't know suffering and she at least conceded with that assessment. But even a kid like her knows that not letting things go is unhealthy at best (kind of a walking example of what happens when a group of people can't let things go here)]

"If." You aren't.

[swordboning]

I'm not going to ask Athena? Probably.

[emotive]

O-Oh! It just occurred to me, but since you don't have a menu, how are you going to decide on price?

[swordboning]

I'll come up with something fair. It's not like I plan on making too much money here.
