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.]

Comments

[swordboning]

At least it's a healthy treat. Sure, I'll make you one.

[Rin gets free food. Best outcome for her.

Archer starts on whipping one up.]

[codere]

If I asked for something unhealthy, would you have refused me? I don't think that's a proper way of conducting yourself as a business owner.

[ So rude. ]

[swordboning]

I would have tried to get you to ask for something else. It's my duty to take care of you in most ways but I'm sure you already are aware of that.

[Shaking his head, though.]

Though I'm starting to wonder if you're incapable of gaining weight.

[codere]

What's the matter with my weight? I've been working out when you've been at work!

[ Has to stay fit and all. ]

[swordboning]

That wasn't a complaint, idiot.

[Learn about compliments, gurlfrand.]

You have a hard time accepting positive things said about you, don't you?

[codere]

Are you saying I can't take a compliment? You shouldn't bring up a woman's weight if you're going to say something nice.

[ It's generally a sensitive subject. ]

[swordboning]

So I should only bring it up if I'm going to be rude? That sounds like a quick way to end up in a hospital.

[codere]

Shut up and finish my crepe. [ She has no way to counter it so she defaults to this. ]

[swordboning]

[He takes that as an order.

brb while he finishes her snack to carry around with her]

[codere]

[ Good, because that's her stomach growling in the silence. Loudly. ]

[swordboning]

Here.

[He hands over the finished product, all nicely wrapped up.]

[codere]

[ Taking a giant bite. ] Yummy.

[ And then she's holding out her card for him. Yes, she did just pull that out from her bra. ]

[swordboning]

[Rin, why. Save that stuff for the bedroom.]

Why are you giving me that?

[codere]

So you can charge me appropriately for the meal. [ It's a good place to store her credits card. ]

If you grow soft on me now, then everyone else will take advantage of you.

[swordboning]

I'd be paying myself my own money. Take it back.

[Or taking Saber's money to pay himself, which would be okay if it was Saber. He can't get the satisfaction like this.]

[codere]

No, that's my money. It's what they gave me when I first arrived.

[ She's just been frugal. ] My allowance.

[swordboning]

[He takes the card and subtracts a small amount of money.

ONLY BECAUSE this is clearly a big concession for her.]

I'll just have to pay you back later.

[Not literally but figuratively.]

[codere]

I should have been your first customer, Archer.

[ Munch, munch.

And once she has the card back she's shoving it right into her bra in front of him. Classy. ]

[swordboning]

It's fine. You'll always be my heart's first customer.

[Said so straight faced.

Yes, he's trying to embarrass her.]

[codere]

[ Actually chokes on his food at that and nearly falls off the counter. ]

Archer-!

[swordboning]

[All she's going to get from him is a smirk.

Smooth playa here.]

[codere]

[ Until she spits out her food instead of swallowing it.

WHAT THEN?? ]

[swordboning]

Was it really that bad?

[That's what. Still taunting.]

[codere]

No, I was just caught off-guard. Saying romantic things like that where anyone can hear... What if people got the wrong idea about us?

[ So rude. ]

[swordboning]

How would someone get the wrong idea? Unless you're saying you don't want people to know that we're dating.

[Archer is not good at faking hurt faces. So the smile stays.]
