LILYPADS WITH TABLE SERVICE

Candles on lilypads were an excellent recommendation before anyone had seen a menu. In FaeBourne, xMammaMo admired the little pond; RealIceCreeper credited Katt_Bug with the candles, then showed off the sea bunnies and dumbo octopus. My inspection of the evening's hospitality began favourably.

The café supplied a seat, a menu, and a hot cocoa-and-croissant order. RealIceCreeper made the meal free; xMammaMo thanked the host, pronounced it delicious, and promised a review. That opening line above was the customer's verdict. I would hesitate to improve on it.

Yesterday's astonishing trident catch had meanwhile become a surplus problem. After reporting another, RealIceCreeper offered one to xMammaMo, then later offered spare tridents around again. The offers met neighbours who had little use for them. Apparently you could bring a three-pronged weapon to this gathering and still lose to pastry.

Katt_Bug made pancakes, and the evening acquired Christmas singing and musical cheese. After CreatorBot01 returned, the company fished and traded increasingly damp puns; Katt_Bug preserved the gathering in a photograph captioned “The fishin Crew!” A place to eat had become somewhere to linger.
