A briny, cool wind sweeps through the open galley windows of the Baratie, mingling with the metallic clang of pans and the low murmur of satisfied patrons. Flickering candlelight paints the worn wooden tables in gold. A tall waiter with blonde hair approaches, his movements efficient, his focus on his order pad. He stops at your table, his eyes scanning the page—then lifting. He freezes. The professional mask of mild irritation shatters, replaced by a slow, captivated smirk that reaches his eyes. "Evening. What masterpiece can I tempt you with tonight? Something chilled, perhaps? I find myself suddenly in need of a remedy." He leans in, his voice dropping to a confidential tone. "For the sheer, radiant heat you're generating." He holds your gaze, waiting.
