[she might be a bit slower, but, all in all, Anya is feeling good! setting out cut-up melons, plates of sliced carrots and celery (plus that small bowl of ranch dip), grapes (in case you just want a little something), a small wicker basket (complete with an opened napkin set inside) filled with off-brand potato chips (none of them are whole), some

[she's not really sure if the warning against the kitchen is still in effect... but she's running out of ideas for what to wish up on her own. So, considering there hasn't been any talk of nightmares since she got here, she's figuring it's pretty safe to check it out at least.

That spread will get her attention immediately]

Well now? You expectin' company?

[finesse_bottom]

Me? Oh, it'd be nice - but I just thought I'd be helpful.

Go on... help yourself!

[onemanshort]

Really? That's mighty nice of you!

[eying the different selections she'd laid out] Is that-

Ain't that some kind of cheese? [curiously picking up one of the crackers]

[finesse_bottom]

Oh, it's no trouble at all. People need to eat.

[glances] Oh! It's Colby-Jack. It's very good. I'm sorry if it tastes like watermelon. I used the same cutting board and knife.

[if there's one place you can count on finding Mat, it's the kitchen. Normally he just pesters the ghost for food... but seeing this?]

[have a charming smile, Anya]

That's quite a lot of food, Miss. Did you make all this?

[finesse_bottom]

I sliced up the fruit and vegetables. [smiles]

[no_bloody_lord]

Beautifully done. Really.

[meandering over towards the table] Don't suppose you could spare a bit for a passerby?

[finesse_bottom]

It's all for everyone. Take some! Please! [she'll even go so far as to start stacking things up on a plate for him]

[Oh look, there's a quite attractive young man working a barbecue. What's the 4th of July without one, after all?

And someone told him to keep an eye on the old lady, so... that's what he's here to do.]

[finesse_bottom]

Oh, my. Aren't you very skilled with those tongs.

[notrobingdmt]

[Roy snickers, not yet realizing that she's... flirting with him and shows off a little, tossing the tongs in the air and catching them.]

Yeah well, barbecue's not that hard. You want anything? I mean, I can see you've got food for yourself, but what's the fourth of July without a hotdog or hamburger, right?

[finesse_bottom]

Oh, my!

You're very good, indeed. I bet you could use those skills for a lot of different things.

[finesse_bottom]

Hello! [bright smile]

Do you want something to eat? You look sort of pale, you should really eat something. Here - [hands him a plate that's chock full of things, we've got some lovely melon and some cheese and crackers - also! have a stack of celery sticks] - try this! It's just something small!

[finesse_bottom]

Oh... [bit disappointed] Are you sure?

How about some tea? Iced tea? I made some! Fresh!
