San Francisco with Ysalwen

The door opens onto a park in the fading light of early evening, they're stepping out from a gazebo type area. Across from the park, beautiful painted houses stand, one in particular looks more lovely in the fading light than the others.

A mix of people walk around them, programmers home from a long day at work, the coffee shops and restaurants are active and there's the sound of music and the taste of sea salt in the air, "Here we are."

"It gets busier?"

How is that even possible?

"Though I suppose there is enough space for more people to crush in together. Unless they wanted to walk."

Hmm.

"Is there a restaurant that's your particular favorite?"

"What kind of festivals?"

She doesn't make any move to not bring Liranan in with her, so hopefully that isn't a problem.

(She has no idea why it might be one.)
freedom_is_grey: (happy watching people)

"Fish and chips?"

She looks up at the tattooed man questioningly, reaching up to smooth down her hair just in case any flyaway locks have revealed her ears.

(Even with illusion a body can't be too careful.)

"Should I know what that is? The chips part, I mean. And -- how the fish is prepared?"

Heavily spiced things and mabari digestive systems do not mix.

For example.

"And, well. Fish bones are bad for dogs. If you have rabbit or the like, that would work better. It's not as if he can de-bone his own fish. Liranan, I mean."

"Cow or goat or pig would also be fine? Just -- nothing with splinter-y bones."

Chicken is right out.

"I'll have the fish and chips for myself, then, please? It sounds lovely."

Liranan yips once, and Ysalwen laughs.

"Sausages will do quite nicely, I think. Thank you!"

"He seems to be. How did you meet him? Just by coming here?"

Maybe they met at sea!

(Ysalwen doubts it.)

"Do the friend and the cats have anything to do with each other?"

It's something about Quentin's phrasing . . .

"Oh!"

Ysalwen beams at Phil.

"Thank you, I'd forgotten to ask for water for him."

It's nice being around people that understand dogs. Unlike everywhere in Ferelden . . . wait.

"This smells delicious."

And once Phil is gone again --

"Is now a bad time and place to ask for more details?"

"The kind of high standards that your Toby could have come back with after her last trip?"

Indirect speaking isn't always terrible!

Liranan, meanwhile, is busy devouring sausages like they will never come again.

This time Ysalwen chooses to stick with salt, pepper, and vinegar.

Those she knows what to do with!

"It sounds like you have an interesting group of friends here. That's usually the best kind."

Not like she speaks from experience or anything.

"I have the something similar back home. And I suppose in Milliways, too, but it's not quite the same, is it?"

She takes a careful bite of fish, mostly because it's hot and she'd hate to burn her tongue.

"Maybe not as nice as this food, just now."

Talking is definitely not as good as eating when you're hungry.

Ysalwen is just saying.

So much food and still Ysalwen has to sheepishly ask for seconds.

It's the Grey Warden thing.

And it's all so delicious.

But all good meals must eventually come to an end.
