Once they were back in the apartment, Lotus mad a grabby hands gesture towards Karl. "Turn over the good meat. There are plenty of cooking implements in this apartment, and I want to make us something. I will put a proper stew on for dinner as well, as we're not going to be going anywhere, so it will have time to simmer."
"Don't go saying anything that will raise flags. We want to actually get through a meal without major interruptions here." Dana laughed.
Lotus stuck out her tongue at the mage, and took out a slow cooker, then frowned and looked around the kitchen again.
"All of this is for bachelors or newlyweds. None of the pots and utensils are large enough for our whole group." She realized.
"If the travel utensils aren't suitable for use on the stove, you can send the ingredients down to the main kitchen and tell them what you want. That should work well enough. They might not be nature clerics, but they are professional chefs. I'm sure that they have most of the spices that you want them to use." Karl suggested.
"Oh, that's a great idea. There's a directory on the phone here. Dial 0 for the concierge and...
Hello, can I get a kitchen worker up to Monarch Karl's unit? I would like to have dinner prepared with some of the Royal Rank ingredients that we brought back, but the kitchen isn't stocked for as large of a group as we are expecting.
Yes. That would be wonderful, thank you."
Then she turned to give everyone a thumbs up.
"Done and done. They will be here in ten minutes to collect the special ingredients, and they will have the meal ready for whatever time we pick. I also got them to bring up a cart full of snacks for while we wait." She explained.
"Who knew that Lotus was secretly organized?" Tessa joked.
"When it's about food, I am excellent at organization. There is nothing more natural than not wanting to miss a meal."
As promised, the snacks soon arrived, and Karl loaded a large roast on the cart for the kitchen, and then a second one in case someone else had a special event.
Even in a building like this, high-ranking beast meat was not easy to get, so if they could incorporate a little of the boar meat into their menu meals for the next few days, it would buy Karl a lot of goodwill with the other residents.
He had a sneaking suspicion that he was going to need that soon once the beasts started to settle in. With their skills, it would be nearly impossible to keep them out of an apartment if they wanted to enter, and restraint was not a word commonly found in their vocabulary.
"Do you have a large amount of that meat available? We might be interested in making regular purchases. Assuming you can maintain it at this level of freshness, that is." The chef suggested.
