Wednesday Group Lunch
[Sometime mid-morning on Wednesday, the Eatery and Kitchen will suddenly be bustling with activity. First, the sounds of cookery start to trickle out into the hall, quickly followed by some delicious smells. If one peeks in, they might see Lebkuchen kneading dough while Cerejiera gives her some instructions on modern oven use. There are others chopping vegetables, and some point Ranma’s cooking something on the stove. Soon enough, food starts to come out and fill the table. Fresh bread and soup, various other dishes, as well as apfelstreudel and lebkuchen for dessert. To drink, there’s coffee (Vanity) and tea (Sayo) and some kind of fruity, delicious punch that combines peaches, grenadine and something almond-y, reminiscent of something familiar to at least one of you. At the same time, the table starts to be set up, plates and cups levatating through the air with alicorn magic while Aoi has been trusted with…the napkins. Once the table is mostly set, runners are sent out to invite (or strongly encourage, if needed) those missing to a lunch in the Eatery. Which is now for sure 100% safe from Rube Goldberg-esque accidents, courtesy of Alex.
So come in! Grab a seat, a drink, and some food. Time to get to know each other a little better.]

Alex looks down at his trembling hands. Admitted in a tone that implies he's only saying this because Lebkuchen did first: ]
I...miss my parents.
[ He...doesn't really think he's ever going to see them again. ]

Uh, okay, tell me about ‘em.

She's... not my granny by blood. I was left on the church shortly after being born, and she immediately took me in that same day. She never had any children of her own, and her husband had already passed that same year. She said she knew it was like... God had sent her an angel on the eve of his son's birth to cure her loneliness.
She even named me after the treats we eat during Christmas time.
mood and same it's our cities now lynsey
...They've always been, uh...supportive. Whatever I wanted to do, even if it was a...a stupid idea, they encouraged me. Got me books for my birthday to learn- whatever bullshit I got interested in. A- and...we never really traveled, but- but they told...relatives, friends, whatever, bring me back a souvinier. Nothin' big. Just a bunch of little knickknacks, but... I loved 'em. It was like seein' the world just in my bedroom. I...I don't think I ever really appreciated it. Not like I shoulda. Not until recently.

Instead, he turns his attention to Lebkuchen, first.]
Are those some of those cookie things you made today? The ones soft ones? The treats, I mean.
[then, to Alex]
There's nothing like a souvinier. Which one's your favorite?

Fortunately, now that he's back in it, though the force field had flickered and wavered when his hand was out of it, it now holds steady, protecting the four of them inside it at the moment]

[oh. hey gang. fancy meeting you guys here?]
Oh. Um.
...Thanks.
no subject
But um. Okay. Keep talking. Right. ]
Y-Yes, those are the ones. They're a tradition around Christmas but we make them all year long what with my name and all... I still remember learning to make them as a child and Elise trying to steal all the fillings.

Taking a moment to look at her all bug-eyed, Alex thinks, and- ]
Framed portrait of a bunch of dogs in different hats.
no subject
[he turns his attention back to Lebkuchen.]
Elise? I don't think I've heard you mention her before. Who's that? [listen, maybe he did, he can't really remember right now. The point is to keep them talking, though he is paying attention as best he can.
At Alex's answer, though, he does look bemused]
A bunch of what in hats?
no subject
Dogs. They're domesticated quadruped mammals kept as pets.
[that's it that's all she's got right now]

Oh. Did she say Elise?

I'd like to hear more about the dogs in hats.
no subject
However. As his gaze settles on Quark. ]
Space future must suck if you don't know what dogs are. They rock. My dad's co-worker got it for me. There's a corgi in a beret. An akita in a hardhat. I think it might be the best object I own.
[ Alex really likes dogs. ]
no subject
If it's a hyu-mon pet, I've got a bunch of other things I could think of that would make good pets in space than that.
What does the hat do for them, exactly?
