[RPG] [EI] [Perdan] The meal

[Jamie Cheyfetz]

Duke Screndt did not miss the slight shudder, and he racked his brain trying
to discern the reason. *Is she used to better food? My chef is amongst the
best of the continent. I pay enough for him. Was it something I said? Is she
afraid of heights? Was it the mention of another church?*

As she began to sip at her bisque, it became obvious to Screndt. "This
bisque is not to my liking. Have the chef send out the next dish. If that is
fine with you, My Queen?" With her emphatic nod, the servants went to work,
one rushing to the kitchen, the others clearing away the dishes and
refilling the goblets so the diners could clear their palates.

The next dish was on its way out. Veal with a perfect truffle sauce on the
side. A relieved expression came over Queen Evangeline's face, which pleased
Duke Screndt. He began, "One thing I really do miss is the..fields of
Lorient. The city of Aix is by no means an adequate replacement for those
open expanses." *That was a close one, I almost pined for the coast. Not a
good idea when she is obviously adverse to seafood.* Queen Evangeline cut
into her veal to discover that it was stuffed veal. Stuffed with broccoli.
