This drink, I like it. Another!
[SMASH: the sound of something delicate, either glass or porcelain, shattering on the ground, because Caspian just threw it down there.]

Action
Date: 2011-05-22 01:19 am (UTC)Sometimes, he really hates his job.]
Right away, Monsieur.
Action
Date: 2011-05-22 01:27 am (UTC)Bring sugars and creams with you, not the crystal white or the milky ivory varieties respectively. I shall have brown like the gloss of honey and a cream whose lightness suggests it was flogged by only the most experienced of quartermasters.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-22 01:32 am (UTC)Brown sugar and light cream? Right away.
[ooc: Oh God, he's on of those guys who'd order a non-fat, no foam, extra hot two-shot latte with one raw sugar and two pumps of vanilla, isn't he? :-D /former barista]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-22 01:41 am (UTC)[Thinking thinking thinking, and the music swells just as Caspian begins a speech on:]
The sweets of a faraway land, a pastry spun into slender bends and fried to perfection, coated in only the finest sugar, the purest cinnamon, served with a saucer of thick cream. The churro. Do you know what a churro is?
[ooc: HAHAHA SOB barista torture is totally what I had in mind yes.]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-22 02:29 am (UTC)It's not something I am familiar with, no. I could ask the chef if it is something he can put together.
[ooc: /shakes fist! I had to put up with dicks like that at 7 in the morning for almost a year of my life...]

Date: 2011-05-22 04:51 am (UTC)No palace can call itself such if it has not enough wares to share with its guests at all times.
[He looks around to the source of the voice, flashing a smile.]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-22 04:55 am (UTC)[She returns the smile along with a polite curtsy.]
Is this a common activity where you're from?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-22 05:05 am (UTC)I confess it pleases me you ask. There are habits and then there are traditions of which this is the latter. [Then a more regal bow.] Caspian X, my lady.

Somewhere, the uncursed part of Ginny is appalled, but for however long the City wishes it, she is Ginevra, maid at the palace of Versailles and she has the manners and bonnet to prove it.]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-23 03:27 am (UTC)[Although this nobleman knows his place (higher than most others, especially maids) Caspian still has the decency to exchange brilliant smiles with the hired help. Her prompt silent arrival is encouraging and speaks lengths of her efficiency as a maid too.]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-23 04:49 am (UTC)[There is the barest trace of a smile on her lips before her expression is schooled into something more neutral. Her characteristic cheekiness needs to be kept in check amongst the nobles or she'll draw attention. Her brothers would be so disappointed to lose an informant in the palace.
Another polite bob, eyes carefully averted.]
If it pleases Your Lordship, might I suggest le gâteau au chocolat?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-23 11:40 pm (UTC)[He lifts his chin, eyes bright, like he might just break out into song over the merits and sweetness of all that is chocolate.] Might there be cocoa, then? Gateau au chocolat and cocoa with which to lubricate the passage towards a satisfying feast?
[Yes Ginny, you heard him right. Sob.]
