Just then Ned emerges with a cup in one hand and carafe in the other. Any rattling of said implements is completely imagined. Of all the terrifying things in his life, and this is the way he's going to die. "Terribly sorry, but I had to make a fresh pot. I didn't think you'd want burnt remnant coffee because really, who does..."

[liebe_krieg]

"Oh, I see. Very good thinking, then." The Major reaches for the sugar. "All is forgiven! It smells quite good." He doesn't mention that if he had gotten burnt remnant coffee bad things would have ensued, because at this point it would be redundant.

"One of each will take... several trips..." And several text messages to a certain sorceress. "I hope you brought your patience." And with that he's off for the first plates of key lime to your heart, lemon meringue, cherry creme fraishe cherry creme, triple plum and banana creme, apple walnut, appleberry and coconut custard. As worrying as this was, in the mean time he did hold a morbid curiosity to know if this Major fellow could actually eat all of the pie he had ordered in one sitting.

"I brought a great hunger," the Major says. "My stomach is filled with nothing but enthusiasm for your wares. Ah, but this is really good coffee." He drinks deeply from it and smiles. "I think it will tide me over long enough for the main event."

Ned is about to find out what kind of an appetite a guy can have after serving on the Eastern Front. Especially when the guy is the Major and pastries are involved.

Ned already wants to throw up but that might be more out of fear than appreciation for the Major's appetite. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." He plasters on a fake smile and starts backwards towards the kitchen. It's too bad that bar is there, ouch :( "That is what the Pie Hole is... all about."

[liebe_krieg]

Seeing Ned hurt himself gets a bigger, nastier smile from the Major. "Yes, enjoyment. Entertainment as well as service, I see." He considers making Ned dance or sing or whack himself again for his entertainment, but fortunately for the pie maker food takes precedent. The Major 'mms' appreciatively as he chows down on his pie(s).

"Your wares are really top-notch," he says. "I'm so pleased. In fact, I think I'm going to need the recipe from you. I can't leave flavour like this all in one place."

He just smiles again, a very fake smile at the Major's comment before shaking his head at the man's request.

"Un-unfortunately, it's a secret recipe. And you know what they say about secrets..."

[liebe_krieg]

The Major's own smile turns predatory. He puts down his fork. "Please, do not be stubborn. I have a lot of experience with keeping secrets, and acquiring them." He raises a hand as though taking a courtroom oath. "Your recipes will not travel beyond my own mind."
