II. (TEXT)

[superbia]

It has been brought to my attention that one should not subsist primarily on pizza and coffee. [what's healthy vitamins and minerals to a demon anyway] Unfortunately, the only real guidance I have on what would be good food to try is the one who introduced me to pizza and a doctor. [who will surely try to make him eat a fuckin beet (or the space equivalent of) or something]

Are there any restaurants or foods in Lunatia that are a must try? Or perhaps you can educate me on what was delicious where you were originally from. I would also be interested in learning to cook for myself, if there are willing teachers among us.

Ideally, no, not that either of you seem to have been suffering for it.

Vegetables ( beets ) are the best source of nutrients and vitamins along with fresh fruits, and lean white meats and fish, or legumes, make up for protein intake. When you opt for carbohydrates, such as breads and pastas, you want to try for complex carbs instead of simple carbs— whole grains and such. You'll often notice when they're darker in color, to make that easy at a glance.

( she didn't menTION A SINGLE FUCKING BEET, SIR )

If you happen to have any takers for teaching... Let me know? I'd be interested as well. We could learn together. 😘

As for delicious foods, I'm partial to cream-based dishes and cheeses since they feature heavily in the traditional dishes from the country I'm from. There's Älplermagronen which is potatoes and cheesy pasta and apples with caramelized onion, Bűndnernusstorte which is a sort of pastry filled with caramelized sugar and nuts, Zurchergeschnetzeltes which is multiple cuts of meat stewed in mushrooms, cream, and wine— and I could show you my favorite breakfast dish, at the very least. Rösti is shredded and fried potato pancakes filled with things like bacon, onion, apple, and cheese. It's one of the few things I know how to make well. Oh, and sipping chocolate, of course.

During the holidays we have so many spiced cookies and cakes with cinnamon and nutmeg, but my favorite cake... would have to be black forest gateau. It's dark chocolate and cherry with whipped cream.

The woman at the bakery wouldn't allow me back until I "fixed" my "disgusting and frankly terrifying diet".

[you may not have mentioned a beet angela but you did just describe how to be healthy to him aND THATS UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!

ok not really but it isnt as much fun]

My tastebuds have not been stimulated in many years. I am afraid I can offer nothing concrete as to what I would prefer and what I do not. Though the meat dish does sound particularly delicious. And I have found I am fond of darker chocolates.

[cadeuces]

That's quite harsh! If you want anything, I can go get it for you. We'll cheat the system and show her. ♥ We can be sure you're standing right outside the window when I hand it to you. What is it you usually get?

( ANGELA THAT'S DOWNRIGHT DEVIOUS???? And why hasn't he ever brought her anything!? But also, no one's allowed to be rude to her friends. No one. Especially not Vergil.

And look, it's not fun but you were asking for non-pizza recommendations and she knows your ass ain't exactly human. (It's too juicy????) She gave you the Proper Response. )

Well, that simply won't do, then. Since you're on the path to better tastes, you'll just have to join me for lunch and I'll find somewhere good for us. Let's get those tastebuds stimulated once more.

[superbia]

I've become quite fond of a particular espresso-flavored cake she makes. It's somewhat spongy, made with chocolate, cream, and liqueur. I forget what she called it, but it's quite delicious.

[it's just space tiramisu. also he's never brought her anything because it's vergil and he can barely get his brother something without making it a competition. is that what you want angela???????]

I suppose I would be inclined, since you did not push too hard for me to eat something healthy.

[cadeuces]

Oh! That sounds like a tiramisu! May I be so bold as to take credit for this love of espresso you've found? Point me in the right direction and I can bring some to lunch you can take home.

( Yes???? She isn't going to fight him on re-gifting, she'll just insist he stops in to share with her and they eat together, lbr. )

Well, a doctor can only provide you the tools to make your own informed decisions and find what works best for you. If we were in the business of shaming people for their choices, they wouldn't want to come back, now, would they?

I'm thinking sushi. That offers quite a lot of different flavors for you to try. I know just the place.

( And there's a location pin to some upscale place in level 1. Surprise! (No one's surprised.) )

[superbia]

That is only fair, as you were the person to introduce me to it.

[a location pin is sent her way, the bakery simply named after the owner. it's small, hidden between a few buildings and off the main thoroughfare. now that she knows about it and is offering to buy him a slice to eat after his improptu (but not really all that serious) ban, vergil will no doubt spend a day or two debating on what dessert to get her.

he won't allow himself to let a gift go unpaid.]

Let us go for a bite to eat, then. All this talk of food has made me hungry.

[cadeuces]

I'll count it as a win, then. ✨
Thank you for letting me share my favorites with you. I'm glad you've liked them.

( It's a heartfelt little sentiment in the midst of their teasing about a revenge scheme for some likely-nice older woman, and she's undoubtedly already on the move to acquire some of that espresso-doused cake.

And she already gave him plenty of hints. Anything with apples, or something dark chocolate with cherries. It'd be close enough! Also look at him, agreeing to go something as mundane as lunch with her. Makin' Angie proud, Verg!! )

Let's say in an hour? After the rush. You'll find me in a window seat closest to the water.

( He gets a pin to a place simply called "The Cove Sushi Bar" close to the beach, where she will of course be waiting as promised in a little booth in the sunshine, with the clear clamshell container with his tiramisu waiting at his empty place across from her. )

[superbia]

I will see you then.
