(CLOSED) CHICKEN CORDON BLEUS

Who: Minato ([personal profile] burnmydread) & Tamamo ([personal profile] mikooon)
When: February 6th, evening
Where: Hall of Heroes
What: Minato accepted Quest #1: Attain meat for a Hero's Meal. Minato completed Quest #1. Time to have dinner.
Rating: None (unless Food Network needs a rating)

[ Finding chicken when you're broke isn't that easy.

Sure, he kept an eye out on the weekly menu to see if there was anything he could snatch, but it really came down to the fact that Minato would have go to out into town and find some. Okay, he could do that. He's accepted stranger requests before and it usually works out in the end.

But even Heroes need to pull their own wait. For as generous as samples had been on their arrival day, frequenting some of the same cafes and restaurants, Minato found that they expected him to pay this time. Hm, problem. He'd accepted another job on the Bulletin Board to build a snowman, but it didn't lend much in regards to how much he needed. So what does one do when they don't have money to pay for things?

Sell themselves.

Except...it's really not as dirty as that sounds. With how busy Kabe Market's bazaar is, there were a number of people willing to use a couple hours of his service for something small in return. Moving items, sometimes just...generally sharing stories about their lives because he seems like an appropriate person to info dump on. The usual. He got a few snacks along the way, which was nice, but it wasn't until he moved to a few of the more grocery-oriented alcoves and shop fronts. Help make sure a shipment gets from here to there, deal with the evening rush--goodness, he does stay calm under pressure, or is he just sleepy?--but at the end of the day, he came through. And so did his reward.

It's just the end of the normal dinner period, but Minato is hoping that missing out on the free cafeteria food isn't going to bite his ass in the end. "Caster", as she called herself, seemed pretty excited at the idea of preparing a decent meal and to be honest, he was pretty down with some of the things she'd been rattling off as well.

Hopefully she got his message. Otherwise he's going to look kind of weird standing near the bulletin board with a cloth sack full of something and his feline carrier perched on his shoulder. ]

[For a moment, Tamamo stops chewing, swallowing down a chunk of meat all at once. She almost chokes on it, but the action was intentional, not because she was distracted. In fact, she's trying to distract herself a little.

When Minato says the first four words, she looks gradually more forlorn, teeth no longer moving and fingers resting still on the meat with no attempt made to pry more to stuff in her mouth.]


Mm. I'm sure.
