Petal 07 -- IM/Action

[Jehan is smiling softly when the IM starts]

Ah, I know that the theft is on everyone's mind but until Chiron and Mr. D can find the thieves, I'm not sure worrying about it will do anyone any good. So, Peeta and I--mostly Peeta--thought that maybe the Demeter cabin should run a sort of Valentine's café in the Big House next Friday, as a sort of distraction and a place for people to take their sweethearts since...camp doesn't really have a lot of places like that.

[Eh heh]

Would people be interested in this?

[Nico can understand that pretty well. Tentatively, he walks over, feeling very self-conscious as he places a hand on Jehan's shoulder.]

If it...gets to be overwhelming, I'll be there for you, even in the middle of the night. That's if you want me to.

[He smiles at Nico and pulls him into a brief hug]

You're sweet, Nico. Thank you.

[Blushing a little darker, he shrugs and takes a small step back after the hug.]

It's nothing. Um...do you know what Peeta's making for your cafe idea?

[Totally smooth transition to another topic, Mr. di Angelo.]

Delicious food?

[He laughs, shrugging]

I don't know, he's honestly the better chef out of the two of us. I just make things I like or that other people like.

[Nico relaxes when the older demigod starts laughing. Okay, good, he's done something right.

He tilts his head.]

You cook, too?

Yes! Mostly sweet things and my favorite dishes, but I can cook anything I've tried to make so far.

Huh. [He learns something new everyday.] Have you tried making Italian before?

Oh, yes! I love pasta and homemade pizza made with homegrown everything is one of my favorite dishes. I know pizza's not true Italian, but...

But it's still pretty good.

[It amuses him to no end when people legitimately think pizza is Italian.]

Maybe one day I'll taste-test an Italian dish you make.

And almost everything I put on it can be used in pasta, so.

[More laughter]

That'd be wonderful, petit.

Makes gathering ingredients easier.

[The son of Hades can't help smiling as well.]

Fair warning, it's been a long time since I've had anything like that. I'll probably be only able to tell you if it's good and not really notice if anything's missing.

Bah, if something's missing it's not meant to be there. Simple.

[He chuckles.]

That's one way of looking at it. Do you have a favorite?

Favorite what?

A favorite dish. Other than the dessert. I'm acquainted with your sweet-tooth well enough by now.

I regret nothing.

[He grins]

Ah, not really? I love almost everything I eat. Raspberries are evil, though, and I don't like super spicy dishes.

Are you not fond of the taste of raspberries or is it a texture thing?

They are evil.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

On one hand, I want to ask for curiosity's sake on why, but on the other, I'm not sure I want to know.

Funnily enough, a lot of people have that reaction to me.

I don't personally think it's a bad thing.

[Nico thinks it over for a second.]

You know, I think I'll bite. Why do you think raspberries are evil?

Because Mama is allergic to them, their bushes hurt me, and they taste nasty.

[He grins.]

Fair enough. I'll take any raspberry desserts from you, then.

Blech.

[He makes a face before laughing]

[He grins in response. This is a good a moment as any to ask one last thing, too.]

By the way, uh, are you still interested in learning Italian?
