The next day, in Montmartre.
Teams Philosophe and Condor are having lunch at La Crème de Paris.
They are thinking of ordering crepes.
What's emmental rapé? asks Sweezus.
Grated cheese, says Arthur.
Okay, so what's jambon de dinde? asks Sweezus.
Turkey ham, says Arthur.
WTF!
Sweezus is not having turkey ham. He orders the saumon fumé, with emmental rapé.
Arthur orders the Nutella banane.
Surfing-with-Whales orders the same.
Gaius orders a nature, in other words a plain crepe.
David and Vello are considering their options.
What can I have? asks Terence.
Well... says Belle. I'll order the creme légère with fruits rouges and see what we get.
What are fruitsroojes? asks Terence.
Red fruits says Belle. There's sure to be something to squeeze. If not you'll just have to have a Ribena.
Terence hopes there is something to squeeze.
Vello and David both decide to go classic and order the sucre citron.
One or two well wishers pass their table.
Bravo les gars! says one .
Bravo tout le monde! says another.
That's nice of them, says Vello.
Hey, says Terence. What happens next?
Our crepes will come and we'll eat them, says Vello.
I mean after, says Terence.
Some well-earned relaxation, says Sweezus.
Not much of that, says Vello. You have work to do back in the office.
People work ftrom home nowadays, says Belle.
Yeah boss, says Sweezus. I can work from here in Paris.
Can you work from Barcelona? asks Terence.
Yeah but ... why would I? asks Sweezus.
If you had to go and rescue somone from a palace, says Terence.
No way, says Sweezus.
What if it was your sister! says Surfing-with-Whales.
Yes! says Terence. And she was in danger!
She isn't in danger, says Sweezus.
Not yet, says Terence.
It seems you admit the existence of this sister, says David.
Ha ha, yes, says Vello. Perhaps you should go there and see.
Yay! says Terence. Does that mean we're going?
But the crepes have arrived and there are questions more pressing.
Such as: What are the fruits rouges?
Can they be squeezed into something that Terence can swallow?
Without a digestive problem ensuing.
