That doesn't sound promising....

No one had ever made an appointment with her. When Angelo had asked if she could meet him downstairs in the garden at 3, of course she'd agreed...though she didn't know why he couldn't just walk up to her and ask her instead of *calling* her . She hadn't seen him since Halloween...she had to assume he was avoiding her, that she'd crossed some major line and he was finally going to tell her that waht she'd done was inappropriate...and he had the right...but hell, it wasn't like she was a trogladite.

She headed down to the garden at 5 to 3, to wait.

	Angelo regards that with a bit of amusement, taking them from her and handing them to the cashier. Soon they're finished, and he brings her to a convenience store. He manages not to roll his eyes, and gives her an amused and defeated 'Oh, go ahead' look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Teenagers and junk food went together like sweat and stink! She got some twinkies and some cheetos for good measure, along with a sugary drink that they just dont keep in the embassy because it's not "healthy" and she checked out, heading back home when she was done.

It's not simply a matter of it not being healthy as it being of lesser quality! One can make much better sodas with sugar syrup, seltzer, and the appropriate flavoring; and that's without giving into consumerism and getting one of those 'home carbonation' devices.

Since they're not too far from the embassy, Angelo just offers Charlotte his hand and will start walking once she takes it.

	She took it, taking one of the bags so they were at least evenly distributed and headed back in companionable silence, heading straight for the kitchen and hopping up on a counter; prime real estate to watch Angelo at work. "Impress me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Angelo cleans himself and his work area up, smiling as he puts on his apron with all the confidence and poise of a soldier putting on familiar armor. "I'll warn you, I don't handle interference well, so it may behoove you to just stay back, however much I would appreciate the sentiment of offers to help."

He rifles through a worn wooden box of recipe cards, until he finds the one he had in mind, setting it into a stand near where he's already gathering bowls and utensils. He gives it a read-through for good measure before unwrapping the steak and selecting not just one, but two knives, brandishing one in each hand. He makes short work of the steak, reducing it to cubes and trimming and disposing of the fat.

	She had no idea what was going on. Her twinkies were quite a little distraction but she looked appropriately impressed...or maybe that was over her desert.. "So cooking..where did that come from..?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Gio was always better at training with Father than I was, so I wanted to cultivate another skill. Mother was very good at cooking, so I decided to learn from her."

There was also the factor that he knew food was a very good delivery system for poisons, but that's not polite conversation with a lady that is neither Gio nor Mother.

"It just sort of went from there. My reward whenever I did particularly well in any area of my training or education was that Mother would teach me a new recipe." He seasons the meat and then puts it aside to marinate while he starts chopping vegetables.

	Placing the ingredients into a mortar, Angelo begins grinding up the spice mix. "Yes, well, Mother and Father always felt that rewards should be practical; and it makes me happy." He smiles. "I like taking care of people." (Reply to this)(Parent)
