...Or similarly short bit of writing, but that's not as concise. Stolen whole from lambwolfandman so I probably don't know what I'm getting myself into. Take your pick, and I'll (try to) write it!

And because I had more than one idea for it, 2/2. Now with cruelty to italics.

“Cook! COOK!”

Only Lord Grenville could go from demanding to flat-out screeching in two syllables. Everyone else had too much dignity. Rollick winced. The pumpkins winced. Even Grenville’s younger brother winced, where he was sitting atop the pile of crates and sacks in the corner.

Grenville was ranting before the cook had recovered enough to ask him what was wrong. “…Filthy slop! I’ve dined in the halls of Illyrium, and you put that ghastly mush in front of me? That’s what you present me? I know rotten meat when the stench of it hits my sensitive nostrils- or was that just your cooking, you incompetent serf? Why do I even tolerate your useless presence on my family’s estate if all you do is brutalise innocent food? I should- YAGH!He scooped up the apple that had just thunked off the back of his head, spun to look at the bare wall behind him. Then he glared suspiciously at his little brother. The boy was innocently preoccupied with a wooden spoon that still had some pudding on it

((Aw, thanks. I might have made him more obnoxious than he really deserves, but hey, I've spent enough time ragging on his twin sister, it's only fair he get his share.))
