Pie for everyone

[inruins]

Who: Toriel & you!
When: April 2nd
Where: Mess Hall
What: Toriel announces on the network she's made Snail Pie. Clearly people should come and get some.
Warnings: Snail pie, monsters, shenanigans.

True to her word, Toriel has taken over a table in the mess hall to offer people some of her favorite type of pie.

A several paper plates are laid out along with borrowed utensils. On the table sits a uncovered snail pie. The pie itself smells savory and fresh. A tempting offer for any curious about what it could taste like. Newbies and oldies alike are welcome to approach the table.

Next to it is a covered dish. A firm 'Do not touch!' note settled atop it. Anyone who touches it will get a firm reprimand from the monster seated at the table.

Toriel herself is settled back in a chair, drinking some tea. Anyone who approaches will earn a friendly smile and greeting from the 6'9 boss monster.

"Ah, hello! Would you like a slice of pie, dear?"

"Good! I was hoping I could see you today, my dear!" Toriel rises readily from her seat, moving to sweep Frisk up in her arms. She doesn't particularly care if they're in the mess hall. She is just going to give her child a hug and peck to the forehead.

"We can have something to eat." She didn't miss that annoyance, so she offers the child a slight out. "Something besides pie since I've made it to share with others."

"Hehehe! I wanted to see you, too!" Frisk laughs and wraps their arms around Toriel's shoulders, giving her a big kiss on the cheek.

"Are you sure?" They try their best to look somewhat reluctant, but their relief is just a bit too palpable. "There's still a lot left...um, but everyone should get a chance to try it, I guess!"

[inruins]

"I'm sure." The relief is hard to miss, only making amusement touch Toriel's smile. Frisk's attempt to spare her feelings just earn the child another quick peck. "We have to share of course. It is only fair everyone gets a slice."

"Which leaves us with the next question, what do you want to eat for a meal, my child?" The mess hall always has a variety of options, even with what supplies they have.

[gainedlove]

"Oh, oh! Can you make sausages an' peppers? An' potatoes, too!" Frisk is pretty sure they remember seeing enough ingredients for that last time they had kitchen duty. "I can do the potatoes!"

[inruins]

"I certainly can." A meal plan is already coming together without little effort. Toriel was sure the people on kitchen duty wouldn't mind them popping in for a bit between shifts. "As long as you're very careful about peeling the potatoes, yes."

Frisk's independence was a blessing as it was a curse. The child was always... overzealous about cooking for themselves or helping in tasks meant only for an adult.

[gainedlove]

Frisk lets out a large, put-upon sigh, but nods. "I will, promise! I can cut 'em up too, I did it before..." They know Toriel worries about Frisk hurting themself, but they really do have plenty of experience in the kitchen. And they're even bigger now, so balancing on things won't be nearly so difficult!

[inruins]

"Even if you did it before, I can still help. I'm here for you." She says gently back, raising the child's chin with a large finger to meet her gaze.

"For now, peeling and maybe. Unless you want to bake them in the oven?" She shifts gears slightly for Frisk's benefit. This is a conversation they've had many a time, so she'll spare the child it again.

[gainedlove]

"Okay..." Frisk does smile when Toriel nudges their chin up, and sneaks another quick kiss onto her nose.

"Ohhhh!" Frisk's mouth waters thinking of a really good baked potato with all the fixings, but after a moment they shake their head. "Um, maybe next time? I wanna fry them today!"

[inruins]

The kiss earns a gentle pleased laugh from the boss monster. She lets her fingers brush through Frisk's hair fondly. Toriel doesn't put Frisk down yet, content to carry the child as she begins her walk towards the kitchen.

"Frying we can do." Well, mostly she'll fry them and Frisk can help from a safe distance. "Would you like garlic fries or keep it simple?"
