Yeah, but remember Horos? That would have been tough all by myself, with no life skills.

[As Claude grabs plates and cutlery, it becomes obvious how busy he'd been all afternoon. Across the kitchen counter are plates and plates of various foods... a lot of food. He'd taken Hayame's request to heart, and there are a good selection of dishes portioned enough that they can both sample as much or as little as they want. Grilled meat with fruit, game meat Claude had hunted himself, cooked and skewered, meat pie (he had cheated and gone to a bakery to get that), freshly baked bread (also from the bakery), various sauteed vegetables, and -- a favourite side dish of his from Almyra -- a large bowl of rice with pomegranate seeds and herbs.

There's a table pushed against one wall, and while slightly cramped, there's room for them both to eat. He'd removed a chair, realising Hayame wouldn't be able to use it, leaving some cushions for her instead.]

So... Here's the feast! Help yourself to whatever you want.

[He goes to set the glasses of wine, along with the bottle, on the table.]
