[ Lucrezia ]

Hey. Are you still up to do the feast thing you were talking about? It's kind of too late for Thanksgiving now, but after everything that happened.... I think it'd be fun for everybody.

What d'you say?

[ Gramps ]

[Sneaking in the nickname to see if it'll get an objection. He's going to keep using it whether it does or not, though.]

Hey, do you wanna help me with something really cool?

----

[ Friends ]

Hi! So, if I was hypothetically going to do something really fun and cool in the next couple weeks, when would you guys hypothetically be able to go?

----

[ Arya ]

[Because he's not sure that she'd be included in the last filter. He sounds wary.]

Hey. Um, can I ask you something?

----

[ Anyone Who Can Cook Sort of Well ]

Hi! My name's Henry. I have a kinda big favor to ask, but it'll be great, I promise.

----

[ Cesare ]

[Fingers crossed there's only one Cesare in the castle. Henry figures he's got a good chance.]

Hi! My name's Henry. Are you Lucrezia's brother?

----

((If you think you might count for filters, you do! Go for it!))

Dictated, Filtered to Henry

[cyan_maid]

[She chuckles because she can see two of those filters, buster!]

Would this fun and cool thing require some extra hands in the kitchen?

[ Jane ]

[fantasies]

[FOILED.]

Maaaaaybe.

Henry

[cyan_maid]

Well, perhaps we could make that pie for it. What do you think?

Henry

[willalwaysfindyou]

[He taps a finger on his lips, amused and mystified. He lets the nickname go, secretly pleased with it. He always thought Charming was his favorite nickname. Maybe this one beat it by just a little.]

Sure, I can lend you a hand. What can I do?

[ Jane ]

[fantasies]

Oh! [Yeah, those dots just connected in his head.] Yeah! Yeah, that would be perfect!

[ Gramps ]

[fantasies]

First, you have to promise to keep it a secret. Okay?

Henry

[cyan_maid]

I would be happy to help with most anything else, too.

So...what exactly is this all for? Are you throwing a feast?

Henry

[willalwaysfindyou]

My lips are sealed, kiddo.

Henry

[heloise]

My answer would be yes, absolutely.

friends filter

[secondchances]

I'm usually free. Hypothetically, that is.

Hypothetically speaking, what might this hypothetical really fun and cool thing be?

Henry

[persequor]

What?

Cooking Filter!

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

What do you need?

Cooks Filter

[theabjectauthor]

Good afternoon, Henry ... what sort of favor do you need?

Friends and cooking filter forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Would this hypothetical cool and fun thing have something to do with this favour?

One more for the Cooking Filter

[is0latedthinker]

Hello, Henry. I'm Alan.

What's the favor? [Sam had had a habit of getting into trouble at this age...no, that's not entirely correct. All ages.]

Henry

[abelard]

[Cesare sounds hesitant when he answers.]

I am indeed.

[ Jane ]

[fantasies]

Yeah. That's, uh, actually it exactly.

[ Gramps ]

[fantasies]

Great.

Me and a friend are gonna throw a party. A big one, like a feast.

[ Lucrezia ]

[fantasies]

Great! [He sounds OVER THE MOON thrilled.] I'm looking for people who can cook for us right now.

[ Filter ]

[fantasies]

Like a party. But awesome.

[ Arya ]

[fantasies]

I was going to have a party soon. I don't know exactly when yet, but.... You're invited, if you want.

[ Filter ]

[fantasies]

Food. Lots and lots of food. You wouldn't be the only one cooking, and I'll help you do little stuff if you need it. It's for a party.

[ Filter ]

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

That sounds fun, actually! What kind of party are we cooking for?

Henry

[persequor]

For what?

[ Filter ]

[fantasies]

I need a bunch of people to help me and a friend make food for a party. Would you help?
