Shanterel seems to consider Bohw's offer, examining the two remaining firework bombs carefully. "Hmm. Very well, but Mayor may only choose one of those two. Such a powerful recreation will already cost me much of my magical might." That said, he turns back to his cooking, waiting for Bohw to agree or decline.
With a flick of his hand, he magically withdraws the turkey and chicken Watson requested earlier from the cauldron. Despite the short time they spent in the cauldron, each slice is already well-cooked, and, like Bohw's meal, the fowl slices are surprisingly not wet at all, nor is the tomato paste he applied earlier the least bit diminished. Instead, they appear to have been marinated with spices designed specificially to bring out the taste aswell as enhance and contrast it. Rummaging some more in his pack, Shanterel supplies the rest of what Watson ordered, presenting it on a clean plate, nice and simple with just a touch of elegance. "No dessert." Shanterel confirms. "One course per person, all for free."
Immediately following this, he repeats the same procedure, handing Nos a similar plate within mere moments of Watson's meal.
Next up, he brings out a round dish, placing it beside the cauldron. Then he casts a spell, causing the vegetables and fruit to leap from the cauldron and land neatly arranged on the dish. The result is a fruitdish of rather extraordinary appearance. At the center of the dish sits a small pumpkin carved to resemble a helmet in the spartan style. Surrounding it are dozens of small soldier figurines carved from tropic fruits, standing in defensive postures, holding up shieldlike slices of apple and melon between them. Carrot spears jab from small indentations in the shields made for this purpose and radish arrows bristle from among the ranks of soldiers. Despite having just come from the hot cauldron, all of these seem to be pleasantly cool. "The world's most well-defended fruit dish is yours to command, general Thunderpaw." Shanterel says with a mock bow and a flourish as he presents it. "Do share with your allies."
