Ser Sunny Side Up [Oliver]

8th Day of Spring 514 AV

Cosette's mood was unusually bright this busy morning of mornings. Not because something good had happened, but because somehow the passing of winter and the explosion of green about the countryside had lifted her spirits. Vibrant rebirth, the smell of fresh air blowing in from the sea and the warmth - muted as that was - lent her a pleasant mood which suited her well.

She struck the glass sitting on the table lightly with a spoon and the chime alerted a waiter to the newest dish to come out of the kitchen. The peach pie that was still steaming was ferried off and Cosette took off her mittens and chef's apron in favor of the server's apron. Though she was now a chef by profession, the nuit wasn't blind to the needs of the workplace.

The Herald's Arm's revenue was primarily made during the evening. The morning wasn't it's peak operating time and thus they were usually lightly manned during the day... a problem sometimes so if one had her hands free she might be obligated to take over other responsibilities. One such responsibility was to take orders.

Sometimes orders could be misinterpreted by waiters and waitresses, but if the chef herself was taking the orders directly from the customers it made the whole operation smoother and she could personalize the dish to that client's palette.

"Good Morning!" she chirped brightly, attending to the table of a pair of Syliran Knights... or was it a knight and his squire? that had only just taken a vacant table. "Welcome to the Herald's Arm, is there anything in particular that either of you might want? We've pastry, fowl, pork and bounty fresh from the sea this morning."

Ser Sunny Side Up [Oliver]

Postby Oliver Burke on March 25th, 2014, 8:16 pm

Oliver had a long list of things he would rather be doing than celebrating his birthday. Riding his favorites Taiden, reading any number of books he had access to, getting his head bashed in on the training fields. But there was no real way out of this. His patron had seen to that. Oliver sat uncomfortably in the chair, he had been lured here under the pretext of a patrol. A patrol would have been much better than this. He had even put on his armor hoping that is wasn’t a trap. But, when Ser Glyn ducked into the Heralds Arm’s and didn’t come out, it was too late to do anything about it. If it were up to Oliver, he would have just let the day go by without notice, he didn’t like the attention that some people paid to birthday people. Maybe the people in the tavern wouldn’t care, he knew he couldn’t count on such luck however.

Ser Gyln hadn’t even chosen a table out of the way. The older knight had picked a seat right in the middle of the dining area, in view of all the other tables. It seemed to Oliver an attempt to get him riled up. Reluctantly he had sat with his patron, it was in good fun after all, and the sooner he went along with it the sooner it would be over. And maybe they could just have the meal and go, if Oliver made little fuss.

They hadn’t sat long before a server came up to them. Ser Glyn beamed at the young girl,”Hello, young lady.” the older knight paused, and shot a sidewise glance at Oliver before continuing, ”Its my squires birthday, and he was going to spend all day training! Can you believe that?”

Oliver looked up slightly, and opened his mouth to protest, but stopped himself. He knew that Ser Glyn was only having fun, and this is what friends did. He quietly sighed, and kept his eyes low. ”See, look at that. The poor guy is so tired from training that he cant even say anything!” Devon said louder, trying to get anything from his squire.

The knight firmly smacked his squire’s shoulder, before turning back to the woman, ”He’s no fun, is he? Well, lets do something special. How about with eggs, and the best pastries you have? How does that sound, Oliver?” this time Devon wouldn’t let the squire sit in silence.

The squire looked up at the server, and nodded, ”Yes, that sounds good. Thank you.” he called quietly, barely audible over the noises of the other people. His patron grinned, plotting what he would do next to embarrass his squire.

Ser Sunny Side Up [Oliver]

"Isn't that lovely though?" Cosette clapped her hands together brightly with her signature easy-going smile. "Industrious people are the backbone of the knighthood after all! Surely you're proud to have such a diligent squire under your wing." she seemed to genuinely mean what she said and that only caused one of the other servers to roll his eyes and sigh. It was difficult to reprimand the girl for her almost naive outlook in life, but it could get annoying. Being nice was one thing, but Cosette had long since crossed a boundary that made her niceness seem almost excessive.

"Hmm... it's his birthday is it." the girl's expression turned serious for a few seconds as she mulled something over. "I know, order anything you like, I'll put the tab on me. Just try not to order everything on the menu, okay?"

"Something to get him on his feet... eggs... pastry." already the nuit's thoughts were running over the available ingredients in stock against the recipes were in her head. She had to make something that would fill the stomach... and something for him to take with him when he left to train for the rest of the day. Of course, nutrition wouldn't be complete without meat. A growing lad needed it more than any other. "Would you want some meat to go with that? I'll be cooking, so if you want to personalize your dish I'd be more than agreeable. Especially because it's Oliver's birthday."

"I think being serious is an admirable quality too though," she gently replied in response to Oliver's patron criticizing the boy's no-nonsense approach to things. "I like that in people... but yes, I do believe he could afford to unwind, now more than any other day."

"If you're bored you could come with me, the kitchen's pretty empty at this hour. Could be less boring than being stranded on the table with your patron." she winked at the knight, hoping to diffuse the possibility of offending him even by a small degree. "Not that he's a boring fellow."
