Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Bront]

"I figured you did for your embasidor position. I would never have known."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, I see...I guess I never did really tell you too much about myself, did I? I'm sorry, Sister."

 

[Bront]

"Well, I never asked. It's all right Sister, I'm sure I'll learn more about you in time."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Maybe so--oh look, here comes the soup, and the bread and cheese!"

*The waiter heads over and drops off a warm and delicious-smelling creamy soup in a big bowl between them, giving two smaller bowls so that they can share. Then he drops off a very long piece of bread--several feet long in fact--and a knife to cut off slices, and finally, he puts a big tray filled with many different sorts of cheeses on the table as well.*

"Bon appetit!" he says, bowing as he heads away for now.

 

[Bront]

"Thank you." Vasha says, wide eyed at the bread.

"Wow, that's a lot of bread."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"And you said that soup, bread, and cheese wouldn't be enough for a meal," Karya sticks out her tongue jokingly.

 

[Bront]

Vasha grins "Well, let's give this a try."

Vasha nibbles a little on the bread and the cheese. "This is quite good sister. Compliments the wine well."

Vasha tastes the soup. "Mmm, what is this?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, I agree. Wine, bread, and cheese are delicious!"

"Oh, I got us the creamy onion soup. I'm glad you like it, Sister."

 

[Bront]

"Mmm, yes. It's delish." Vasha portions herself, waiting for the rest of her meal.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*After they eat for a little while longer, enjoying the soup, bread, and cheese, the waiter returns with Vasha's filet mignon, and presents her with it. It is a delicious and tender-looking beef dish sauteed in a red wine sauce.*
