Circe's Manor

[AmbushCat]

Callista: Yeah, so am I. Now all I have to do is scarf down that cheesecake, and I'll be set to skedaddle.
...Speaking of which, is it done yet? That Green thing threw my mind off track.

[Circe]

*Right as Callista asks this, the maid comes back into the dining room, carrying a cheesecake.* Sorry to keep you waiting!

[AmbushCat]

Callista: No worries, no worries. *accepts the cheesecake and hands the maid a few silver coins* For your time and effort.

[Circe]

Oh, thank you! *The maid takes the coins and leaves the room.*

So... There's that.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *brings a bite of cheesecake to her mouth* You're not trying to get me to leave, are... are... are... ... *looks a bit dazed by the cheesecake's quality* Pay your maids. One big hefty paycheck.

[Circe]

I... do pay them... Are you okay?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: You have to try a piece of this, Circe. It's... I... *shakes her head* I just can't put it in words.

[Circe]

Okay... *Circe takes a piece of cake and has a bite.*

[AmbushCat]

*Muy delicioso!*

Callista: If I didn't want it to go to waste, I'd probably have this thing bronzed. *continues eating, savoring each bite and even whining a little the closer she gets to finishing it*

[Circe]

Hmm... I'll ask around, see if I can get the maids to give you the recipe...

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *throws back her head, laughing* Man, Circe, you rock! Thanks a zillion!

[Circe]

Not a problem.

[AmbushCat]

*Happy and full, Callista finishes her dessert.*

Thanks for having me. Be sure to let me know whether your restaurant's still in order, okay?

[Circe]

Will do. See you around.

[AmbushCat]

*Nodding happily, Callista gets up and smiles at her before she makes her way out of the Manor, taking her time doing so and letting the food she ate settle in the process.*
