((J'taime le Cafe du Monde ))
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:26:21 PM)
(Oui?! Bon bon vouz dia, entre entre!)
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:28:12 PM)
((lol))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:29:11 PM)
*heading in to the Cafe Du Monde, Tom would first offer Rowan an arm, then Phaedra, offering his services as escort to both of them from the vehicles to the eatery*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:31:49 PM)
*She took Thomas' arm with a smirk, shaking her head in amusement.* So, Phaedra. This is a lovely place to eat, what with beignets and the best coffee around. But, I do ask that both of you stay near me, and if warranted...do as I say. Thomas, you are my...friend...*She looked around, choosing her words carefully so not as to attract attention.*...though Phaedra, I have no obligation to you. But, seeing as you are here by my invitation, know that I will...stick up for you. *She nodded, seeing a table for three.* Oh, there we are.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:33:45 PM)
There is a wonderful line in a song about this place. My first day here, I had to test the truth. THe coffee is strong, and the donughts are too hot to touch when freshly served. *As the reach the table, Tom disengages from the ladies, pulling out Rowan's chair first, then doin gthe same for Phaedra.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:34:20 PM)
*She sat down, not bothering to look at a menu, smiling.* I haven't heard that song.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:35:54 PM)
"The Wino and I Know." It's a very good song. Perhaps when we are in another venue I will attempt to lift my voice in song for you. *He offers her a warm smile, and only gives the menu the briefest of glances.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:37:27 PM)
*She smirked a bit.* Thomas, it would be wise not to embarass Phaedra on her first day, would it? *She eyed Phaedra for a moment.* So, you are from Greece. I hear it's lovely. Ahh...Santorini, one day.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:39:29 PM)
You... have a point. I will stop embarassing myself infront of people, because clearly between the two of us they would rather hear your song than mine.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:40:03 PM)
((back(
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:43:57 PM)
*She nodded. * Santorini is very lovely. I wanted to live there for awhile.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:47:03 PM)
*She would reach over, giving Thomas' shoulder a reassuring squeeze, not having spoken out of shame for his actions.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:48:10 PM)
*his head tilts a degree towards her hand as he smiles at her warmly, mouthing "Thank You."*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:48:41 PM)
How are you liking Louisiana, Phaedra?
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:49:47 PM)
I'm settling in Rowan. Settling in nicely.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:51:31 PM)
*She smiles at this.* That is very nice. *A waiter approaches them, and she places her order quickly.* Oh...I would love a cup of the house Chickory, an order of beignets and a grilled chicken sandwich please. Extra pickles, if that is no trouble. *She smiled at the waiter with a nod, looking to the other two.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:53:19 PM)
*Tom gances to Phaedra, waiting to place his order untill after the ladies.*
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:53:36 PM)
I'll have a coffee and beignet
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:55:15 PM)
I do apologize for not being very detailed about how I came to be here. Its complicated. I'll leave it at that. ((but her history is on her wiki if you are oocly curious))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 6:56:07 PM)
*Tom orders* Coffee, black, ceasar salad, and I think I will be having the club sandwich, please. Dijon mustard if you don't mind? *Tom smiles to the waiter, and hands him the collected menus*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 6:57:38 PM)
I will respect that. All of us definitely do have a story, that is for certain. *She gave the waiter a smile as he collected the menus, happy that he brought them each a glass of water to sip before the food arrived. She drank from hers.* Mm. The salads are good here.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 6:58:17 PM)
Sometime I'll explain when I get to know you better. When I know I can trust you.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:02:00 PM)
*She nodded.* I see. But, do trust in this. The coffee here is amazing.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:02:54 PM)
I find their dressings refreshing. *He smiles to Rowan, and glances to Phaedra* One of the best cups in all of New Orleans... *He says as the coffees arrive thanking the server as he takes a long, slow sip of his coffee.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:07:26 PM)
Mmm. Coffee. *She smiles, mildly excited before sipping her hot drink.*
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:09:43 PM)
It's nice to make some new friends you know
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:10:52 PM)
I have found New Orleans to be a very accepting, open city. Lots of good people here.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:15:20 PM)
Many, actually. One just has to know where to look, I suppose. *She smiled, moving into her purse to fidget with her phone. She sighed a bit, putting it away before taking her coffee in hand again.* What do you like to do when you are not working, Phaedra.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:17:32 PM)
Well I like to watch movies, read, some gardening, cooking and baking. You know, the usual.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:17:44 PM)
Going for walks
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:17:58 PM)
I spend a lot of time at the shelter though
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:21:07 PM)
*As Rowan seem perturbed by the phone again, Tom reaches out, gently laying his hand on her wrist* You know those thigns have an off button for a reason, if it gives you nothing but bad news. *He uses his voice like a well cultivated tool, calming tones and an even cadence.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:22:44 PM)
I love gardening, too. *Her face lit up a bit.* I actually own and run an herbal goods store just outside of Houma...an hour or so from here.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:23:03 PM)
*She gave Thomas a knowing nod as if to say, "Thank you,"*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:23:52 PM)
*Letting his fingers slip from her wrist as he nods to Rowan, he turns to Phaedra* She makes the -best- foot soak.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:26:03 PM)
*Her cheeks flushed just slightly.* I do nooot....
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:26:35 PM)
It's -divine- don't lett her tell you otherwise.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:26:39 PM)
((sorry little distracked))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:27:05 PM)
(( Runs to the little Kin's room while you are distracted ))
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:27:08 PM)
Oh I would love to see your garden!
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:31:01 PM)
(( ok... less of a run, more of a hobble and try not to fall over. 0)
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:32:51 PM)
*She smiled.* That would be fun. *She sipped her coffee, looking over as the food arrived. She grinned. She grinned lots.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:33:01 PM)
(Baking two pies here. Sorry for the slowness!)
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:34:55 PM)
((yay baking))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:35:11 PM)
*Tom takes his salad, first, devouring it, having not eaten since lunch, he is famished*
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 7:35:12 PM)
((I start baking christmas cookie season soon!)
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:38:15 PM)
(( I... buy those little debbie white chocolate christmas tree cookies. ))
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:40:49 PM)
*She eats heartily into her sandwich first, sliding the plate of beignets into the middle of the table.* I won't be able to eat all of those after this sandwich. *She eyed her sandwich, taking a bit bite.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:42:41 PM)
*After finishing his salad quickly, he takes one of Rowan's Beignets, chewing it slowly as he looks to the two women with him.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:52:34 PM)
(Back!)
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:52:54 PM)
*She smiles as Thomas took a pastry, taking one herself as she sipped her coffee.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:54:31 PM)
*Tom dunks a bit of the Beignet into the coffee, savoring it's taste* I could crawl into this coffee cup and stay there. It is a glorious thing.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 7:58:04 PM)
*Checking her watch, she nodded.* Soon I'll have to head back to the packhouse. *She sighed.* Sarah will have prepped for the visit home to her family. I need to use the time she is gone to re-paint the living room. The wallpaper is...and the curtains...*She shook her head.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 7:59:50 PM)
*Tom nods*If you need a hand with that, I may not be a profession interior decorator, but I've got two hands, and I am not afraid of work. *he smiles warmly to her* Besides, I imagine no way I slice it, I'm going to wind up geting wallpaper paste all over me, somehow.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:00:43 PM)
Rowan? Do you need help painting?
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:02:35 PM)
*She smiled at Thomas quip, then began thinking.* Perhaps...before I put you to work, it would be good to meet with...the club leaders so that you can meet your...sponsor. *She gave the two a look, nodding as she sipped her coffee.*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:03:49 PM)
Especially since I'm only... two days sober. Those sponors have to keep a close eye on those of us new to the local bandwagon.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:06:12 PM)
Being a professor at the university, it's assumed your awareness of liquor flowing like voodoo stories and Jean Laffite's panties is at a good level.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:08:45 PM)
Jean Laffite's panties aren't somthign I pay particularly close attention to. *he gives a theatrical, put upon sigh with a mock eyeroll* If only I were that much of a ladies' man.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:10:47 PM)
I figured I'm just helping a friend paint, but that's fine.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:11:11 PM)
Jean Laffite? And why does he have panties?
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:11:20 PM)
*she looked mystified*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:11:47 PM)
What else covers a pirate wench's booty?
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:12:04 PM)
Uh...pants?
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:12:21 PM)
Wenches in pants are not the kind I would like to wench.
Phaedra Demeter (Dec 7, 2011 8:12:23 PM)
I must be missing something
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:12:55 PM)
Spurs, maybe. *She waves the waiter over, paying him in cash but not before slipping a double-digit bill into his hands as a tip*
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:16:30 PM)
Or a horse whip. We may have ridden this metaphor a bit too far, Rowan.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:16:57 PM)
*She smirks, not missing the pun.* And there you go, flanking me just as I'm getting started.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:20:06 PM)
The way you fill out a pair of pants, can you blame me. *he waggles his eyesbrows at her with a mischievious twinkle in his eyes* Yeah... too much time around Andy.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:21:37 PM)
*She glares at him for a moment.* What do you think you are...Relentless? *She stays serious for a moment, then smirks.* You have been hanging around Andy. I think it's a good break from the classroom.
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:25:20 PM)
Relentless... like a hunter on the trail of delectable game. *he grins* Yes. It's amusing to me how we can bounce back and forth between the erudite and the sophmoric.
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:29:51 PM)
*She facepalms, feigning shock.* Ah, that settles it then. *She stands, smiling and packing the beignets into a to-go box the waiter brought with their check.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:30:08 PM)
(Hilarious, because last I was there, the restaurant did not offer them,)
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:30:27 PM)
(( no, but the will sell you the coffee mugs. ))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:30:32 PM)
(( they. ))
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:31:01 PM)
(( *holds up my Cafe Du Monde Mug* ))
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:31:11 PM)
(NO WAY! <3)
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:32:13 PM)
(Gotta be OOC for a bit.)
Thomas J. Morgan (Dec 7, 2011 8:32:42 PM)
(( KK, shall I nip off to the pack house to await you? ))
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:33:21 PM)
(It's up to you, gotta eat something real fast...haven't eaten since I logged on ><_
Rowan Wintermoon (Dec 7, 2011 8:33:33 PM)
(Thank you for ze RP! Returning soon...)
