Affurgato Mingle: December edition
♥ Who: Open to all
♥ Where: Affurgato
♥ When: This week
♥ What: A grant reopening of the best restaurant in town!
♥ Rating: probably PG/13ish?
What a sad, sad month November was. The local cafe, Affurgato, has been closed. However, at the start of this week, a surprise notice is sent out to all communicators:
Affurgato's open again! Come save your sorry tongues from those replicator meals. Or come pet a cat, if that's more your jam. We don't judge here, we only charge.
Also: it's Candlenights! Bring the staff a present. If we find it interesting enough, you might get something extra in your meal. What do the staff like? Well, that's your job to figure out. <3
The restaurant hasn't gone through any sort of redesign, but it is somewhat decked out more than usual; soft colourful lights line the outside, candles on every table (fake or magical, so they are cat-safe and non-flammable), and even Ditto appears to be a little more seasonal this month. Hard to tell whether or not he's okay with this, he's a tough read.
One notable difference is that Lup isn't out running front of house as much, with the kitchen more bustling now that they're down one chef. She's keeping up pretty well, but the seating arrangements have been shuffled around to make the max capacity a little lighter to maintain things if there happens to be a rush. The menu is gently simplified, but the ingredients taste better than ever, and for this week in particular, fresh turkey dinners are back on the menu, alongside a crunchy treat that is called "fried unicorn dick", but is... probably just a battered candy bar. Probably. Maybe. Who's feeling brave?
On the 9th in particular, a fresh message goes out to friends of Honerva, gently pestering them to swing by the cafe for an open mingle. And maybe you should volunteer for a little bit at the cafe, serve, assist Honerva... it's terrible for a lady to have to work on her birthday, after all. You know, if it was her birthday. Wink.
On that day in particular, every visitor gets a free slab of delicious and delicately frosted cake.
Come on over, Havenwellians! Or whatever you're called. The cats have missed you! And you've missed the food, no doubt.

As soon as Lotor speaks his name, though, that all changes. While he has not seen pictures as some others have, he does know that name very well. It brings to mind Honerva crying in his arms after they had talked about the pain she has carried for so long, the pain of a mother who had no idea what she had lost until it was long passed time of having it again.
"Pardon the interruption," Regis turns toward Lotor, his expression calm, but also cautious. "Did you say your name is 'Lotor?'"
so sorry for the wait!
"I did, yes."
He stood slowly, giving a slight bow in respect.
No worries! RL got me too recently.
"My name is Regis. I am a friend of Honerva's and I did not realize you had arrived. Have you settled in well?"

He straightened to behold this figure claiming to be his mother's friend, and nodded slightly in approval.
"...Indeed. From what I have gathered the previous incarnation of myself to visit this place was not at all keen on the idea of a peaceful relationship with her. I assure you that the same is not the case for me.
I thank you for the inquiry. I am settling in as well as is possible, I believe. There is still much to learn, however."

"Pardon me. I was not aware of the other version who was here. I am glad it is you I have the honor of meeting," his words are full of genuine gratitude. A meeting with the other version would not have been pretty for anyone most likely.
"If it gives you any comfort, I have been here since the beginning and I am still learning things. There are many mysteries to uncover here."
