[The seal has been set in the window of the Gilded Castle's kitchen, showing the entire scene. The kitchen is large, and slightly more modern than the rest of the house, tiled floors and steel fixtures, a large table where a number of servants should have working busily, but it's just Arabia

[Oh. That... looks delicious. But he could just be talking to his fellow housemates -- right?]

You don't mind?

[of_arabia]

[He sneers.]

Because I take such obvious pleasure in taunting children with promises of food.

[uponhiseye]

[Right over his head, the sarcasm went. Insert a little pause.]

I don't think they'd feel taunted...

[of_arabia]

[And this is where Arabia rolls his eyes.]

Yes, thank you, because semantics are such a cheerful topic.

"I'm terribly sorry for acting incredibly xenophobic, and I hope to find a way to make it up to you in the future."

[oh my god free food, so much of it]

Where can I come get it?

[of_arabia]

[His eyes narrow.]

Xenophobia aside, there is food in the Gilded Castle.

[hadsomefreetime]

[HE IS SO ON HIS WAY.

If there is a way inside of the castle without having to wait for someone to answer the door Kagawa will find it. And if he makes it inside he will make a beeline for the free food.]

action;

[of_arabia]

[The front door to the castle has been left open for just such intrepid adventurers. Arabia certainly wasn't going to bother himself answering it personally every time. He looks up at the new arrival, and then goes right back to what he was doing, only approaching eventually to put a large serving bowl full of soup down on the table with the rest of the feastings.]

video; tagging from phone so response will come later

[patternprophet]

[He watches the feed for a moment, wondering if he should say something but waiting for the right moment. For example, when Arabia puts down that knife. He has reason to be wary of angry people with knives, video or not.]

Where would I be able to find this abundance?

[of_arabia]

[He looks up, knife still, if that makes you feel better Leoben.]

The Gilded Castle, the Golden District, if the name redundant naming didn't give it away.

[patternprophet]

I see it as more along the lines of a theme than a redundancy. Thank you though.

[pause]

What's the occasion?

video;

[of_arabia]

[Semantics. But what does one expect from a robot. Arabia purses her lips and returns to chopping, picking up an onion.]

There is no occasion, not beside busy hands.

action;

[mumdies]

[Bambi arrives with the same hamper he'd brought Arabia lunch in that time, the woven wicker thing looking odd on his tattooed arm. There are several tomatoes and two dozen eggs in there, because he couldn't see the harm in bringing more than was asked for. But the leeks are not leeks, they are spring onions. He got a little confused in his rush to bring the stuff back.

He sets the hamper on a clear bit of the huge table, then stands and stares at the spread for a moment, rubbing at his nose.]

Don't really need to be cookin' this much.

action;

[of_arabia]

[Arabia washes his hands off before coming to poke through the basket. He frowns at the spring onions, but considering the little water golem's offer to assist, he decides against turning his ire on Bambi. He just takes the eggs over to the sink, poking through a few things on the stove before he starts assembling the rest of the items for his quiche.]

Last I checked, I am free to do whatever pleases me.

[His tone is incredibly dry. He doesn't have to explain himself to you, Bambi.]

action;

[mumdies]

Weren't sayin' that.

[Mumbled. He knows Arabia's upset, he just doesn't know over what, and asking is really a last resort option, because he knows how well Arabia reacts to the idea that he or Tink can tell these things. Better to try and work around it until the answer turned up on its own.]

Need me to do somethin'?

[Aside from just fetching more ingredients. He had that wish still in place, and his head was actually hurting slightly from all the recipes and meals running through his mind just looking at the stuff Arabia had spread out.]

action;

[of_arabia]

[He sighs. Bambi might not say it, but Arabia knows he wouldn't be lingering around trying to be helpful if it weren't completely obvious he's in a snit.]

There is bread in the oven.

[He motions off blindly in that general direction. The bread needs to be moved so the quiche can go in there next, clearly.]

Or you could eat something.

[This is an afterthought, but he supposes his own dogs may as well have first opportunity at all of it.]

[mykimlasca]

..How--..charitable of you.

[of_arabia]

[Fff. He purses his lips.]

I imagine food shuts you up.

[mykimlasca]

It seems to do the opposite for you.

[of_arabia]

How incredibly biting, my heart can barely take the sting.
