Easy To Please

Perhaps we should locate our recliners, says Gaius.

I'm kind of hungry, says Surfing-with-Whales.

All right, says Gaius. Dinner first.

They go to the dining area. 

What can I have? asks Terence.

I'm sure they'll have red drinks, says Gaius.

He can see into the fridge. They do have red drinks. 

What are you having? he asks Surfing-with-Whales.

I'll have the Thai Red Curry, says Surfing-with-Whales.

Bold choice, says Gaius. I'll have the Crumbed Blue Eye Trevalla.

He orders both dinners and three raspberry colas.

He pays, they pick up their dinners, and go and sit down.

This is nice, says Gaius.

What's in this curry? asks Surfing-wth-Whales.

Sweet potato, isn't it? says Gaius.

No chicken? says Surfing-with-Whales.

The menu didn't mention chicken, says Gaius.

Mum always makes it with chicken, says Surfing-with-Whales.

Well, if you're not going to eat it..... says Gaius.

I'll eat some of it, says Surfing-with-Whales. Then I might go back and see if there's anything with chicken.

You'll have to pay for it yourself, says Gaius. I'm not made of money.

Sure, says Surfing-with-Whales. Add it onto my bill.

He eats some more Thai Red Curry.

Then goes back to the counter, to order the oven baked chicken with cajun spices.

What a fuss pot, says Gaius. I'm glad you're easy to please.

Yes, says Terence. I'm easy to please. Can I try his red sauce?

It's a hot curry sauce, says Gaius. Better stick to your raspberry cola.

But Terence, wishing to try the red sauce, and demonstrate he is easy to please, dips a claw into the sauce, and sucks it.

Ahhyahh! cries Terence, immediately burning his tongue.

Surfing-with-Whales returns with his plate of oven baked chicken.

I had to pay for this, says Surfing-with-Whales, so you owe me.

Sorry, says Gaius. All that means is you don't owe me.

You actually owe mum, says Surfing with Whales. I used her credit card. She'll be chasing me for it when she gets the bill.

Don't use her card again, says Gaius. I don't like owing Lauren.

No worries, says Surfing-with-Whales. And what's up with him?

Your stupid sauce! says Terence. It's killed me!

Yeah, says Surfing-with-Whales. It was kind of hot.

Gaius continues to eat his Crumbed Blue Eye Trevalla.

Which tastes exceedingly pleasant. 

At least someone is easy to please.
