A mad tea party ((Open RP, River and A hand out food))

Cooking magazines had become something of a hobby to River of late. A had mentioned not too long ago handing out a meal again in the Great Hall, and one of the magazines she'd purloined from the old stacks in the library had yielded a recipe for 'cucumber sandwiches' and entertaining to plan around the eating of said snacks. Since the sandwiches were rather easy to eat, and there were plenty cucumbers available for the using, she noted A to join her in the kitchen.

There, they made scores of cucumber sandwiches with butter, vegetable, and cheese spreads, all to be served with iced mint tea. A sign at the entrance to the Great Hall invited everyone to partake, with the exception of troublemakers and ne'er-do-wells.

((Your characters may live free of fear; the food is untainted by anything but being made with love.))

A had been delighted when River suggested they prepare a light summery meal for all comers. It was always nice to cook together, especially when so many of the ingredients were fresh from the garden.

"This was a good idea," he said happily, arranging a few stray glasses for the tea. "Thank you for suggesting it. I enjoyed making it with you."

"It was simple, mostly cutting up," he commented. "But very companionable. It was a good thing to make together without getting messy. Although," he grinned slyly, "Getting messy with you is fun, too."

"Oh," A said softly, the idea making his grin soften into a smile. "Yes, yes, we should. Perhaps with a picnic. Not a cats-picnic, although we should have a cats-picnic soon, or a smoking and silly picnic, but a sort of respectful picnic. There is such a thing, isn't there?" He looked a bit concerned, as if he'd suggested something improper.

"And it is good weather for a cat-picnic! Perhaps we can invite Kurama and Kusuriyuri to that one, so Boukensha and Belophoebe can come as well." He wasn't quite warmed up enough toward Mikami to suggest he come with Masuyo, and he doubted anyone else would welcome the idea. "And Wishbone can come. Perhaps he would like to become a cat, and enjoy catnip with the others."

"Relaxing-time for all of us," he said, and kissed her cheek. "It will be fun to watch all the cats play together."

"Progress." He took her hand, and smiled. "Yes. I like making porgress with you." A's expression was perhaps somewhat lascivious, but in an affectionate way. "And cooking and gardening progress, too."

He flushed, and whispered back, "Maybe we should undress a little later. But you're right, we have food to hand out, and that is not a naked thing."

As far as A knew. He didn't like the idea of handing out food naked. Nudity was not something he liked to share freely.
