[closed] it's not a nutritional dinner
Who: Chikusa, Ken, and all the people invited to Hakkai's temple
When: October 12
Where: Li Tieugai's temple in the Central District
What: Having recently lost their other god, Ken is sad by yet another loss.... so Chikusa is fixing this with his dog's favorite things: people he likes and copious amounts of meat.
Unless people actually ask, Chikusa.... doesn't exactly tell what time the dinner is actually going to be at. At least he'll probably tell them that Hakkai's temple moved? One would hope.
The temple of Iron Crutch Li doesn't really seem all that impressive upon approaching it, despite being in the Central District. The walled gardens are certainly large and lovely enough, if a little wild, but the building itself is rather plain at its two stories. There's a small sign attached to the front door that simply says 'come in'. Chikusa isn't going to bother answering the door for visitors. It's not like Hakkai locks that thing anyway.
The inside of the temple is about as sparsely decorated as its outside, but, today, the overwhelming smell wafting from the kitchen has overtaken any medicinal smells that might normally be about. It adds a certain warmth to the room.
Until dinner will be served a little later into the night, people are free to do whatever- hang about the gardens, go bother Chikusa in the kitchen, or otherwise find the other residents of the temple. Chikusa won't care to stop anyone, although Hakkai might.
As for dinner? Chikusa is serving so much meat: rabbit stew with olives and rosemary, swordfish, curried chicken, veal marsala, and a more traditional spaghetti served with meatballs. Fortunately, at least there's garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms, so there's something that isn't meat.... And for dessert? Zeppole, cannoli, and an apple ciambella with almond cream.

[A pause as he moves onto the next part that needs his attention.]
...There's going to be some dessert stuff after...
no subject
[Adrien's moving to get the plates first. He's assuming the soup will go first assuming people want it - so that means meats and the like will be next. The plate would have to be on the bottom. He's passing in and out of the kitchen to the dinning room carrying the various odds and ends he needs for this.]
Okay, I didn't find any napkins but.. I thing I got it.
[And in the dinning room, it's set up like this. Glasses to the upper right, dessert plates to the left.] I hope that it looks okay.
no subject
...Who knows if they have any.
[Still, that's enough to have him shuffle to the doorway and pauses. Huh.]
....Do you do this... a lot...?
no subject
[He blinks, resting a hand on his hip as he leans in the doorway.]
Did I not do it right? It just seemed to make the most sense to do it that way.
[Adrien gives a little nod.] Yeah? At the temple, It's usually just for two but it's not different with twelve? At least I don't think?
no subject
[Chikusa has helped set the table before, but it's never been this kind of nice. It has in fact been the bare minimum, for only a few people.]
no subject
Do you want me to scale it back? I can do that.

We'll... probably be alright. Ken is usually good on that, and no one else is as messy as he is...
[So they definitely won't break anything.]
no subject
I'm sure it won't be that bad. We're just over thinking it.
[A shrug.]
Worst case they'll get dirty but that was going to happen anyway.
no subject
[Still, it's good enough, so he turns around to shuffle back into the kitchen.]
...Need a job.
no subject
[Curious Adrien is moving to follow him.]
Are you saying I need one or that you need more help?
no subject
[Let him just poke about the stew... Yeah, that's coming along well.]
no subject
[Actually, he doesn't know if he's ever had a job before but he does have pretty good people skills.]
no subject
[With the food coming along as expected, Chikusa leans against a counter.]
no subject
[But at the same time...]
I might look into it anyway.
no subject
[Funny how that works.]
no subject
[He smiles happily.]
Thank you, Chikusa. Really. That sounds pretty great.

...she could just ask the names and look for them. They're not that hard...
no subject
[Does Chikusa want him to leave? He's not sure. But Adrien will happy do what he feels he needs to.]
I'm going to step out for a bit but if you need any help you know who to ask okay?
no subject
[As long as he doesn't have to do too much work.]
I'll let you know.
no subject
[He's turning to step out of the kitchen.]
Sure thing I won't be too far.
[And then he's heading back out, away from the kitchen.]
