Charlotte #8
Minutes passed them by as Mister Kovac worked his magic within the kitchen. Glacáin Charlotte was none too concerned for the process — elaborate cooking methods were more or less a waste of time as far as she was concerned. Not that she was about to say that to him. His presence was most auspicious, and such an untoward comment would only have sullied their partnership before it had really been fully established. Better to stow unnecessary opinions.
Meanwhile, the men muttered to one another as the pan sizzled. A conversation of weakened exhalations that was far from subtle — a debate of what to do as they were assessed each in turn by the woeful woman. She could not have cared less for their hushed discussions. They weren’t in a position to barter nor to reason, either with herself, or with Karr. Something about him had already suggested, rather clearly in fact, that he was not about to let them go without proper payment for his meals.
“Lunch is served,” the chef said, directing his comment more towards the only other person capable of actively moving about. Though there was no disdain nor amusement in it, Lotty’s glare was rather stern. It was almost as if he was treating her like some sort of child. A harkening back to her past that left a bitter taste in her mouth, though said taste was quickly washed away by the sweeter scents of the dishes being presented. Taste buds had been previously overwhelmed; thus, she was not too quick to oblige.
Not quick, but did so anyway.“Fine,” she agreed, taking her place:
“Though I’m not sure I can manage.”
Pale green eyes scanned the plate almost instinctively, analysing each and every little aspect of the meal. A tender steak, salad garnish, and chips. Nothing abnormal, though decidedly more complex than the simmered stew that had served as their starter. Little hesitation on her test subjects’ parts, for they were already attempting to dig in with whatever energy they could muster. A gentle, near silent sigh escaped her lips as she mentally braced herself for the inevitable overstimulation her olfactory and gustatory systems were about to receive as she took the first bite…{Post Synopsis:—}
Charlotte reluctantly prepares herself for Karr’s next meal.
