[The feed turns on and five different foods appear, along with a red drink and lemonade nearby.]

Well hello there, I hope this broadcast finds all of you well. As you can see, I've been rather busy creating new menu items to try.

[There's a brief pause.]

But before I introduce them, if you feel like sharing your own recipes from home I am more than happy to work on recreating them here. Now then.

Left to right, I have honey muffins, crab croquettes, a futo-maki roll, and I've procured the ingredients for a pizza which was a rather interesting adventure.

[Of course the pizza was made with a certain boy in mind that lived with him and one he made melted cheeses for all of the time.]

For dessert I've made an Apple strudel, and you can wash it all down with this concoction called Pixieberry tea. Do keep in mind it was made with strawberries which can be substituted for cherries. And if that's too much, I do have lemonade handy.

So do bring your appetites if you make it out this way to try these dishes.

[ Yusuke smiled sheepishly as his stomach growling was pointed out. ]

Yes, well… I may have gotten a bit distracted this afternoon and focused on practicing over meal breaks. So this is an excellent reminder that I needed a meal, for which I thank you!

[Ignis smiled.]

You're quite welcome.

[But then he had a question of sorts, keeping it limited so the other could eat in peace.]

If you're not painting far from here, you're always welcome to stop in and have a bite.

[ Yusuke was happy to talk, given Ignis was nice enough to feed him. Though he was also mannerly enough to finish the bite before responding. ]

That is kind of you. I shall have to remember that and take you up on the offer if I happen to be nearby.

[ There were plenty of things to see around here, things he could probably find an interest in painting depending on his mood and the subject he desired. Even if he couldn’t take the practice and improvements back with him, it was important to him to keep working on it. ]

I'll try and keep an eye out for you in that case.

[this was where Ignis was going silent and keeping himself busy. Yusuke needed to eat and he needed to work, so there he was nearby doing some simple wiping down and cleaning tasks. But cleanliness and organization were two things he tried to instill in his staff.]

[ Yusuke appreciated that, and as silence fell he focused on the meal before him. It was really quite good, he should see if Haru and Ren would come with him sometime to try it, it might be like old times. Or perhaps very old times, for them…? He wasn’t sure, but it was a nice idea. As he finished, he offered Ignis a smile as he worked near by. ]

This was quite delicious, Ignis. You have done a magnificent job on the dish, and I thank you for the meal!

[There was always plenty of cleaning to do, and it kept him quite suitably busy whenever he was trying to manage something in his mind or work on some puzzle of a conversation. So he had to shake himself out of that mode when the other piped up and he smiled.]

You're quite welcome. Is there anything else I can get you?

[ The teen shook his head lightly, brushing an errant strand of his bangs back with a polite smile. ]

No, my stomach is quite satisfied now. I thank you for allowing me to sample the new dish. I believe it shall be quite popular!

[Ignis nodded with a smile.]

I certainly hope everyone enjoys it as much as you did. That would be good for business.

I would be quite surprised if they did not.

[ Yusuke smiled lightly, it seemed to him that the lodge was well spoken of among those he’d met already. So he felt rather confident in his statement. ]

I appreciate the compliment.

[Ignis himself drove himself crazy when he attempted to get anyone outside of the Lodge's review. So he worked on keeping those inside happy and well fed. His years of dealing with Noct helped him with his rather formidable customer service skills as well.]

So what are your plans for the rest of the day?

That is a rather good question that I should think about the answer to.

[ He responded with a light smile, folding his arms lightly with a tilt of his head. What indeed, he was done at the café for the day and now he had a full stomach… So the answer fell between scouting around the harbor district and going to the Thieves’ Den, or returning to the House of Solace to paint. Not that he couldn’t paint at the Den, but he had projects he didn’t want one of his friends to see yet. ]

Since I am finished work for the day, I believe I shall return to my accommodations to work on a painting that I had started a little while ago.

[Ignis nodded. He always wondered what people did or where they went to when they were done here. He himself stayed here until it was near the time for Nida or Mono to come home. And since he came in so early, he allowed himself to leave in order to be home in time for one or both of them. Sometimes he left to go back after they'd fallen asleep just to make sure he could leave again the next day.

But once Yusuke spoke, the advisor's head cocked to the side.]

Might I inquire as to what the painting is of?

You may!

[ He didn’t see the harm in answering, after all. Ignis didn’t seem the type to spread things without permission, so the word wouldn’t get back to the intended recipient of the painting. ]

It’s a little different from my usual subject, but it’s of a rather motley group of shadows enjoying a tea party. It’s a gift for Haru. I hope to have it finished soon.

Ah Haru. I've been quite meaning to check out her cafe. Do you know how she's doing then?

[He really liked her, she had spirit.]

Ah, I am happy to say that she is doing quite well!

[ Yusuke smiled lightly, pleased to hear that Ignis knew his friend. They didn’t know each other yet in his world, but they would… And already had proven to get along quite well here. Truth be told, she had become one of his favourite people in a very short time. ]

And I certainly would encourage it, if you’re interested in stopping by. I’m sure she would enjoy seeing you there. As would I, of course.

That is certainly good news. I'm glad she's doing well.

[And of course he meant it. Ignis wasn't one to attempt to take away anyone else's livelihood or anything else.]

I shall have to stop by and see how she makes her coffee. My patrons here rave about how good it is quite often actually.

That is lovely to hear! I’m sure Haru will be pleased to learn that.

[ Yusuke was quite proud of Haru’s accomplishments here, and grateful for the things she’d taught him. So it would be good, he thinks, for her to learn that her endeavor was well received by those who’d stopped by. ]

[He nodded.]

I've been rather meaning to get over to tell her personally. So this sounds as if I have need to pull myself away and show up.

Indeed, I’m sure she’ll be glad for it!

Splendid, then I shall be visiting her within the next day or two. So if you happen to run into her before I do, please inform her that I shall be calling on her. I've an idea or two in mind, so I will see where that leads us when I present it to her.
