Fine dining and parlour magic

[Kray]

It really was amazing how often cannibalism had the potential to derail a conversation wasn't it? The ogre is not convinced that would make the list of Mina's try everything once mentality. But time, place and company. "Ah. there is plenty I don't want to do. But will if pushed to it." Sloshing through sewage water to check for danger while exploring the sewers with Circe and Sven came to mind. "Hm. You know I prefer learning something new, but that still counts as a new experience in a way." Not that he the time to engage in a formal or robust education at the moment. "Huh. Well you've been a here a little bit already." Amazing how time added up like that. "So. What new experiences have you managed already?" Seemed like an interesting way to learn a little about the elemental.

With some pomp and flare the magician will run through his patter and perform the Lemon trick For Mina. The ogre for his part is equally impressed seeing it the second time around.

The smirk small as it is, unseen by the ogre it would appear. "Hm. Good, see that you do." Better to she understand that now then build up the idea that he is in anyway good natured. "Bah. Fair point well made." Maybe he had jumped the gun a bit on that, but it wouldn't be the first time some poor lost has mistaken him for being better then he was. "Hm. I prefer to think of it as there is a proper way certain things should be. Manners are not always proper." But he did try to show respect where it was due, show hospitality when he was hosting and honour his word when given. Even if that did sometimes involving one sided deals, or clever wordplay in his favour.

Okay so much for the asparagus gambit, it got a laugh but neither knew why it did what it did. "Uh. No way to mix it up a bit? I don't know eggs must have a lot of the same stuff in them as chicken right?" Fish eggs had a fancy name as well but those were expensive. "Hm. People put a great deal of thought into all this don't they?" He evidently did not. "Ah. Can't get sick of meat myself. Of any food really." To be his size those food bills must get expensive. "Hm. You know any other interesting side effects of eating certain foods?" An all ice cream diet however in a rare instance does not appeal, not enough solid mass in it. "Ah. Surely then you'd get sick of ice cream?" Or being the icy girl she that she is, was that not an issue?

He shrugs with a potato still on his fork. "Uh. Didn't say it was a problem, just reminded me of something I found amusing." As for the name of the place. "Ah. It's been a while since I was there, busy times and all that but yeah I can find it again easy enough, if it's still around." Showing his age or maybe his time period a little the giant makes no move to grab a phone or any device. Looking it up would come later.

[Mina]

“Oh, learning most certainly counts too.” Then the question, so she thinks a moment, “Hmm, oh! I have one. Did you know there is a Ferris wheel down town near a pinball arcade? I got to go on it. Not really something exciting and death defying, but it was something new for me. The coin operated pinball arcade was something new too, but is now my favorite place to hangout. And Crawdads!” eyes widening, “Those are amazing! Cannot recommend them enough, I wasn’t sure at first, but they are soo good!” sounded like she had a few new experiences.

The delicate Elemental sits up, clearly eager and excited as she watches, engrossed by the magician and his performance. Mismatched eyes widen as the shoe comes off and the lemon appears, then somehow widen even more as he slices it and the dollar appears. “Oh my god! No way!” clapping quite enthusiastically for the trick, “That was amazing!” blown away by the whole thing.

She knew it was a point well made, it was why she made it. But she doesn’t say anything, it wasn’t something worth getting into it over, not a battle to have.

Shaking her head, “Not while I have a show going on, we’re on a strick diet.” A slight roll of her eyes. “Which, to be fair, I understand. It’s healthy, and it keeps our muscles in a good space and recovering. Hmm, I could add some hot sauce or something. But yes, there is a great deal of thought that goes into it.” At least for her line of work. “I mean, one would think you couldn’t, but trust me, eat bland ass chicken and fish all the time and you can get sick of it.” A sage nod. “Interesting side effects? Lets see, I know large amounts of nutmeg can cause hallucinations.” But that was the only one that stood out to her. “I don’t know, there are lots of flavors of ice cream.” Maybe it was just about having the option.

“I hope it’s still around, if not, I’m sure there’s others that are worth trying!”

[Kray]

Sometimes learning was experiencing, sometimes experiencing was learning and sometimes the two id not have such a close cross over. "Hm. Well if learning counts then I'm more inclined to the sentiment." Not totally agreeing of course. "Huh. Although be careful I once foolish believed someone who told me caffeine eats through plastic." Fortunately he was well disposed to the blue elf that had hoodwinked him, and more besides it was his fault for being the fool. "Oh. No I did not know that." With no inclination to Ferris wheels that fact has passed him by. "Huh. Coin operated, it must be old or doing that thing where they try to bring something old back." But the sounds more interested then dismissive. Then a short deep laugh catches him off guard follows the last new discovery. "Ha. Yeah Crayfish I know about those." Although the ones he knew of in England were smaller and red compared to the larger grey American ones. But the source of the laugh might be more apparent with the British name for the crustations.

The magician clearly more please with Minas delight then the looming giants interests, proceeds on to some simple but clever rubber band magic . It must be slight of hand but if so it's dam hard to see.

That leads to wonder about a question he surely cant and wont ask here, but the dolls muscles how did they work exactly? "Ah. Wouldn't catch me on any kind of diet I didn't choose to be on." Only one major restriction existed for him of course and naturally it was the thing he always craved. "Ah. You really suffer for your art don't you." Apparently food restrictions count as suffering to the giant glutton. But no to him there was no food he had ever grown sick of. "Huh. People pay good money for that don't they. Mouldy bread does it to." Experience from more improvised days. "Ha. But you don't see people lining up to eat that." It couldn't be worse for you then some of what they ingest. "Hm. Now that's true there are a lot of them." Many more then when he had been young. "Uh. You got a favourite?" This seems to be a food area he knows little of. Maybe he has been missing out.

Great shoulders shrug and the sound of sound o a few stiches losing their fight is heard from somewhere on his suit. "Bah. Not again." This had happened last time as well. "Ah. If it is then yeah easy enough to find, if not well sushi is pretty popular they will be a shop or bar somewhere." Now those were fun. "Uh. Ever been to one of those, they have the food on a moving belt going past you." It added something to the experience.

[Mina]

There was a smile, “Good! I wasn’t very good in school, I often found the way the teachers presented the material just boring. So I often failed and just didn’t put in the effort. But on my own? Now that’s when I shine.” Most teachers she had were straight from the book, no real on hands or engaging of the mind. “What about you?” time to see if she could learn a bit about him. A confused look then an amused smile, “Caffeine eats through plastic? Huh. Well, it technically is a chemical, though eating through plastic is a stretch." Eyes light up, “No, they’re the old school coin operated pinball machines! I remembered them from my childhood between classes, so when I stumbled upon it, it was like, huge flashback. It’s a ton of fun, and they have some really old ones, and some more modern ones. But all coin operated. The owner is super nice too. I can spend hours in there!” clearly, it was some place she enjoyed spending time.

The Elemental was more than happy to watch more magic tricks. And even if they were slight of hand, she didn’t seem to care, she was engrossed, watching with a big smile. Eyes widen more as the trick goes on and the rubber band does more, clapping. “That was amazing! Did you see that?!” looking to Kray, “Soo cool! You’re so talented!” gushes the doll to the magician. “I can’t believe you’re able to do that!” she knows what real magic looks like, being a Changeling and all, but these tricks were just fun and cool to see.

“Hey, if I didn’t have to be, I wouldn’t be. But I understand the science behind it and I would rather not risk an injury because my muscles are not fully fueled or recovered. Doesn’t mean I have to like it though.” Or cheat on the diet when she could. Sighing, “I suppose, yeah. But, like I said, there is good reason behind it. And technically, if I didn’t want to follow it, I don’t have to. I just put myself and my career at risk. So until I line something else up, kinda a necessary evil and all that." Then her nose wrinkled, “Ew, people eat moldy bread?” nose still wrinkled, she shakes her head, “That doesn’t sound good for you, at all.” There were so many ways that could go wrong. “Now that is the million dollar question right there, a favorite. If I had to pick one, I might have to go with cookie dough. Yeah,” a nod, “I think that would be the favorite. But it has to be the real cookie dough, not like, the fake cookie dough they’re now selling.” Nope.

He really needed to have a suit made. And she decides against saying anything.

“I’ve heard of those places, but I haven’t been to one yet! They look really fun! Like a buffet of sushi, where you get to pick which sushi you want as it floats by!”

[Kray]

What about him he has a general recollection, awareness but it was a long time ago and plenty had happened to muddle his memories since. "Uh. Well I didn't come into an appreciation for learning till later in life." But he had now. "Ah. As a tyke I was something of a terror if I recall. Couldn't tell you how many days I skipped school." Because eh didn't know but the number not insignificant. "Ha. And when I was there I was not an easy student to have." The few recollections he did have would not make for good telling among current company. "Hm. If I could box a younger me around the ears and tell him to buckle down well." Pausing with a heavy shrug. "Uh. I doubt it would have changed anything really." Who knows it might have but as a child the influences surrounding him had not been supportive of a formal education.

He chuckles slightly. "Ah. yeah I learnt it does not. Was my mistake for believing everything I was told in good faith." And yet he still inexplicably trusted Circe most in the freehold.

It was good she was finding things in the city, especially ones she enjoyed. But the giant mimes the motions of a pin ball machine with his larger hands. "Hm. Tried them once or twice but my hands were not made for small or breakable buttons and the like." Being massive and mighty had its drawbacks, the world was not built for those like him. "Uh. But if I recall right they have different themes right? Like a jungle one and a space one?" That's as far as knowledge of pinball goes, but again he is trying to engage the elemental.

The giant to his credit does also clap the magician equally impressed, it might not be the magic they know but he sure can not do anything the magician is pulling off. "Uh. I saw what he did not how he did it." Perhaps buoyed on by a less daunting audience member or maybe now its not a show only serving one the Magicians moves into a routine with faster pace It was still only surely sleight of hand but it had the ogre utterly bamboozled.

The elemental clearly had a much better grasp of the working of food and its effects on the body then the giant glutton. "Oh. I know all about necessary evils." He might even view himself as one such. "Bah. We all got out crosses to bear my old man used to say." Another titbit of wisdom form Krays long dead dad, although he probably was not thinking of the situation when he said it for the uptenith time. "Huh. What else would you be looking to line up? I know a good amount of people, might be able to lend a hand. For a price of course, like you said earlier everything has one." Unable to help himself the opportunity for a deal hadn't even really presented itself he had made it but there you are.

Now this had not seen coming. Strange colour wee is fine but poverty is to much? And the ogre looks at Mian questioningly "Ah. Now try not to judge until you've been there. A loaf of mouldy bread can be a lavish feast to some people." If it was good for a person or not did matter, not when days or even weeks of hunger was chewing on an empty stomach.

A hearty bit is taken out of the second half of his chicken, it falls apart in teeth with ease. Because it cooked really for once his teeth have little bearing on that. But they sure do make light work of the chewing. Swallowing. "Uh. Now why on earth would they make fake cookie dough, when the real thing is right there?" That just made no sense at all. "Oh. Hang on is this like when they saw something is strawberry flavoured but it has no strawberries in it?" Rather simplistic example actually but it functioned to get the point across.

Nodding as some more stiches pop suggesting the tear is on the neck or spine somewhere. "Ah. yes those. I don't know if Sacramento has one though." he had never looked but that was an eating experience worth investigating.

[Mina]

Laughing, “You? A terror as a child? No.” a slight tease. “But isn’t the case with a lot of children, no real appreciation for school, just that you didn’t want to be there. You had other places you want to be, usually out playing.” She just found it hard to focus. “Would you have wanted it to have changed? I find it a bit interesting to think about. Looking back on when I was younger, I don’t think I would have changed things. As difficult as some things were, I think they, in a way, helped shape who I became. In a long, difficult way.” A learning experience for sure. “Or maybe that’s just me.” Trying to justify a time of struggle.

“I think we’ve all been there, at least you sound like you find some humor in it now?” maybe. “But imagine if coffee did in fact do that, the possibilities!” the dangerous ones at that.

Frowning, “That sucks. Have you been able to find any hobbies or anything that you enjoy?” she never did consider what life must be like for someone of his size. “Yes! They have themes that span a whole range. Even a soccer themed one and a Jaws one. Though the Jaws one is newer. They mix newer and older, I kinda like the older ones better, they just have a better feel and sound.” She wasn’t sure why, but she did.

Sleight of hand or not, the Elemental was completely engrossed, eyes wide as she cannot take her eyes off the magician. This was unlike anything she had ever seen, at least in person. The delicate Snowskin couldn’t help herself, she stood and applauded, not sure, and not caring if it was appropriate or not, “That was some of the most amazing card tricks I have ever seen!” she gushed, “I don’t know how you do what you do sir, but you are truly talented.” How does someone even learn to do that?!

Cutting a piece of meat and taking a bite, she shrugs, “You know, I’m not sure yet. I just know I don’t want to rely on ballet forever. I want to try something new, test myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love dancing, but I can’t do it forever.” Then a chuckle, “And thank you for the offer, I’ll keep that in mind.” But at the moment, it was only a thought without any real direction.

Blinking, “Oh, I didn’t mean to judge. It’s just not something I’ve personally come across, so it’s new to me. But you are right, I can’t judge something until I’ve been there, so if I came across as judging, then I apologize.” And she meant it; judging is not something she meant to do.

“It’s because supposedly, real cookie dough isn’t good for you, raw eggs and raw flour, which can harbor harmful bacteria like salmonella and E coli. So they put out what they call safe cookie dough, which is heat treated and some other crap.” Rolling her eyes. “I’ve had regular real raw cookie dough my whole life and never gotten sick, so I’ll keep eating the real stuff thanks.” People were so weird. “Uh, no, I think it’s different."

Frowning, “I hope they have one, I really want to try one.”

[Kray]

The tease does get a swift chuckle from the giant. "Ah. I don't know some of them in my class never missed a day, did there homework you know actually acted like they wanted to be there." Had any of those gone on to be successful? The giant had no idea but it was very unlikely they were running around carving out their own little kingdoms these days. "Hm. Would I change it, depends are we talking school in a vacuum and the rest of my life still play out the same. Or would it have stopped me getting here and now?" Because this second go around, the opportunities, the magic, real magic well he had been through a type of hell to have it but now he well ... he wouldn't trade it. "Nah. It's not just you. I think a few of us can relate to long and difficult roads impacting who we have become." Ever lost that had escaped likely could.

Spearing a potato on his knife, its savoury fate sealed. "Ha. Yeah I even use it to taunt the person who said now." Or when Circe was saying something he found it hard to believe. "Ah. Imagine the creative ways people would find to get their caffeine fix." What was that particular saying? Something about necessity.

The potato pauses a inch from his terrible teeth as they fan out into his wicked smile. "Oh. Yes I have found plenty to keep me occupied." Gesturing at the magician. "Hm. I go to all kinds of shows and events for starts." Horse races, monster cars, baseball, banger derbies the ogre got around. "Uh. And I like to play games." He made no secret of it, having narrowly won at drafts or what Americans would call checkers against Sonnie last spring. He keeps talk of the criminal side of his life in reserve, not for speaking about with the magician around. "Huh. Well that's neat. You got a favourite?" She had said the older ones but he had no idea hoe broad a range that covered.

The ogre does not stand but he does put his fork down so he to could clap at the display of card magic. He does seem to be enjoying it. The magician all flamboyant thanks and grateful gestures, mostly towards Mina, moves onto something a little more interactive asking the striking lady to think of a card, and for her and Mr. Donoghue to hold that card in their heads as he performs a different kind of card trick. with stories of unlikely coincidences.

The hefty shoulders shrug again, no tear this time either the suit had held or the point of pressure had sufficiently given way. "Uh. Forever no. Sure. But your still plenty young, or well you look it." It could be very hard to tell with changelings add in that they remained spry well int other unnatural long lives and it really was anyone's guess sometimes.

Not everyone had known that level of poverty or hunger, and it often showed. But maybe time to move the conversation past that. "Uh. Besides plenty enough of people eat mouldy cheese as a delicacy don't they." A far more expensive thing to consume. "So. That can't be much good for you either surely." if some starving to death happened across a wedge of stilton or gorgonzola it would do less to solve their hunger then bread. Okay so not all the way past the topic was still mouldy food.

That actually made some kind of sense there, not everyone had his iron clad stomach capable of keeping near enough anything down. "Huh. You I can maybe see some joined up thinking there actually. But no. The real deal is still better." Although there was some fun that might be had with the fake stuff. "Oh. Okay if those are different is it like these mushroom meats I keep hearing about that claim to be as good as the real thing but just are not." Mushrooms were great they had their place in a meal or as a snack but meat they were not.

Finally eating that potato. he looks none to concerned. "Uh. It can be found out easy enough I am sure and if not somewhere nearby will." A day trip out to somewhere was not outside of possibilities.

[Mina]

A slight smile and shrug, “Every kid is different, just like every kid learns different. Nothing wrong with it, and you never know, maybe they didn’t want to be there. What one sees and what is actually there are often very different.” As Changelings, they know this all too well. “Oh, a good way to look at the question. That’s difficult, because it’s hard to know if changing one little thing in the past can change how the future plays out. But Lets say you can change how you would have gone about school as a kid, but your future stays the same. Would you do things differently?” why not. “I like to think the difficult times help improve us, strengthen us.” She knows she has become stronger because of those difficult times.

Laughing, “There you go!” finding a vegetable with her own fork, “Always use it to your advantage.” Nodding. “I bet some people would be a nightmare with it! But it would be too entertaining to not watch.”

That grin gave her pause, almost afraid of what the answer was going to be. If there was going to be one. But then he points to the magician, and she smiles, “I can see why you enjoy the magic shows, they’re very good.” She was certainly enjoying them. “Games? Like board games and stuff? Those can be fun.” She remembered him and Sonnie playing checkers last Spring, having not played any games herself. Still being new and not sure of herself, she had sat out of games and just kind of observed. “A favorite? Now that is truly a hard question. Not sure if I’ve been often enough to have a favorite yet, but I do find myself playing Hurricane more than the others. It’s not one of their older ones, but I like the lights, colors and sounds on it.” It was very visually appealing to her.

The interactive trick gets just much excited energy from the Elemental as the other tricks; she was all about this! Pausing to think of a card, then looking to Kray and nodding. The stories hold her interest, shuffling the deck as instructed, flipping a random card as instructing, then shuffling again. The stories were interesting, but she was, admittingly, more interested in the magic trick. And as the trick unfolded, the surprise took over her face! “No way!” clapping, “Amazing!” clearly impressed by the trick.

Laughing, “As far as my career goes, yes, I’m still young. But ballet has a short career span, our bodies give out in our early thirties. Late thirties if we’re lucky. So, I have a little while to go, but I would like to have something lined up before injuries and my body starts to slow down. But my body might be different and let me dance well into my forties. But I’d rather find something else, I think. Try a new career, see if I can be good at something else you know?” what that was? She wasn’t sure yet, but she’ll figure it out.

“You know, I’ve heard of that cheese, I’ve just never tried it. And it doesn’t seem good for you, though people rave about it all the time.” Why, she wasn’t sure. But he seemed to be moving on from her social faux pas, which she was grateful for.

Nodding, “One hundred percent better. The taste difference is very noticeable as well.” Then a laugh, “Mushroom meat? Never tried it, but I don’t see it being as good as the real thing. I mean, maybe if you’ve never had real meat, maybe. But I’ll take the real stuff. Though I’m sure there are also some health benefits to the mushroom meat over real meat, just, not my thing.” Shrugging, looking at her prime rib, “Real meat for me.” Nodding.

“Yeah, I plan on taking a look. Because now I want sushi and want to try a restaurant with the little boats.”

[Kray]

Having now polished off the last of his plate knife and fork go down waiting for the next course. "Ah. Maybe they did, maybe the didn't bit to late to ask them now. Either way they made a better show of wanting to be there then I did." And likely got more from the experience because of it. Now dabbing roughly at his mouth with a fancy napkin. "Uh. Then yeah why not right. Get more from that period and the rest plays out the same. Seems like a win win to me." That almost sounded like one of those two good to be true situations. "Ah. But win win normally is not what it seems. Someone always wins better." It was a tactic he used in his dela making a lot. As for difficult times helping them well, he chooses to stay quite on that, they had changed him certainly and without question, helped it could be argued but they had also resulted in some darker traits.

It was more used for fun and a poke at the summer queen then to any actual advantage. "Oh. I don't doubt it would be mayhem to be hold." Essential an awful lot of addicts getting crazy for a fix. "Ha. Oh. But they have a lot of those paper and metal cups about don't they so maybe not so much." The more he thought on it, the more fixable it was as problems went.

That he had given the elemental a moment of pause, all within a nights work for the king of fear, if he didn't keep people guessing, a little worried even in good social company then well he would need to try harder. "Oh. Yes I have enjoyed these, the baseball was alright as well. Horse races were a good time to." Starting to show the variety of his interests, which might suggest there was a common factor between the many events to draw him. "Ha. Quite the man about town I am you could say." Now that idea had him holding in laughter. Even if it was technically true in a sense.

After composing himself He nods wiping a tear from one bulbous yellow eye even. "Ah. Oh. yes Card games. Board games, Word games. Thinking games. Games of chance." Games of many shapes and sizes. "Uh. I like numbers games less but I'll still play." He had tried his hand at a sudoku once and realised it was less a game and more like a puzzle to solve. "Huh. And why is it called Hurricane?" He could guess at the natural disaster maybe but there was also a plane named after that so he could be wrong.


The giant plays along quite dutifully for the trick a little clumsy big hands knocking into the underside of the table a few times but he doesn't spoil anything. The mentalism element of the trick the distraction and prediction seem to hold his attention more then the results themselves.
The magician continues into a part of the routine clearly meant for parties of more then one, maybe that's why he had been having a harder time before Mian arrived? The tricks involved both lost one as the focus the other as part of the distraction or patter. And this set of tricks had quite the unexpected finish.

Knowing Mina was a lost means Kray knows her body would likely let her dance on for decades yet with no problems and injuries were only a goblin fruit or two away from being nothing to worry about. But that itself might be the problem if what she said was true, Mina would in due course stick out from the normality of it. "Huh. Well people change careers all the time." Far far more so then when he had been a younger man. "Hm. I'm sure there is plenty out there you could be very good at." And if not well then they had magic and that could compensate for an awful lot.

Nodding slow as the topic of cheese takes in. "Uh. Yeah I don't think I've tried any blue cheese either. I would to say I have." And because well it was food and his stomach could handle it he was very confident. "Ah. But yeah it is an odd one isn't it." How did mouldy food become a willing part of anyone's regular consumption.

Food is food in way but chemically made and highly processed was calories not proper consumption. "Ah. I can eat bad food when I have to. But if I can get better then of course I'd go for that." He probably had not been saying that very well. "Uh. yeah they make steaks out of mushrooms claim its full of protein and tastes better." The grimace he gives suggests he does not agree. "Ah. Me to, meat is meat and I can't go replacing that." It was more or less the only thing that helped in any way to keep other cravings manageable.

Well that could be a good time. "Hm. Let me know if you find one alright?" Much as he had found this place and invited others he sees a chance to let Mian return the favour so to speak.

[Mina]

A nod as he points out something important, “Now that is true, isn’t it? There is always someone who comes out more ahead than another. But that’s just the way things work out, someone has to always come out with more than the other. Nothing to be done about that.” Just what it was.

Thoughtful for a moment, “Science was never my strong suit, but I’m sure something could be worked out to bypass the paper and metal cups for a little bit of innocent fun.” A light shrug. “A bit of mayhem can be fun if done correctly without anyone getting hurt.” That was the key, no one had to get hurt.

“Horse races? Can’t say I’ve been to one of those, but I hear they can be quite exciting especially when the horse you’ve bet on is neck and neck to win.” Lots of yelling, or so she’s heard. “Hey, that’s not a bad thing! Gets you out, being social, maybe meeting new people, all good things.” If he had other motives, those were his business and not hers. Then the laugh, "Wait, it is a good thing right?" an Orge laughing like that was a good thing...right?

“So all kinds of games!” not something she would have guessed, but, Lost surprise you every day. “Never been very good at card games, but board games can be fun. Any favorites?” she hadn’t played a board game in a while. “The design is a roller coaster, and it’s called Hurricane. It looks like the track is twisting up into a hurricane, kinda looks like it would be a fun ride actually.” Probably not practical, but looked cool.

The Snowskin clearly was all about the magic, enjoying each trick, cheering, eyes wide for the card tricks. But then the last one? That one was a total mind blow for the delicate lost. She was speechless for a moment, not quite sure what to say or how to react. Seeing that the frog was ok, seemed to bring her back to the show and everything, “I don’t know what say, that was amazing, and I’m glad the frog is ok. And of course, you as well. But oh wow!” and claps, smiling.

“Figured it might be fun to try something new. Maybe keep teaching, I do love the art after all, and don’t want to completely give it up.” Dancing was in her blood, literally, thanks Keeper. “Thanks, I hope so. Just have to take the chance and try a few things out.” But it was nice to hear boost of confidence. Especially from the King of Autumn.

“Does make you wonder how someone found it, and decided it would become such a delicacy. And how did they decide how much blue on it was just the right amount? Like, is there a scale they use?” clearly just trying to have fun with the conversation about moldy cheese.

“I mean, I’d probably try it, if it was offered. But if giving the choice? Regular meat all the way. And if you throw in a potato, then even better.” But having not tried it, she can’t really knock it. And if she was out to eat and friend asked her to try it, she’d try it.

“Oh, one hundred percent! You’d be the first call!”
