This Place has the Best Moussaka!

"Oh and hey have to try the kleftiko! The chef here cooks the ground lamb just perfectly... if you your the sort of person that likes meat anyway." rambled on Tengu as the arrived to Greek-style restaurant that proclaims its name boldly in blue and white letters; Gévma. "Well if you are that sort of person there are vegetarian options too. Have I told you about the chef being an actual cyclops? He may look like big mean guy but really the politest and wonderful person I know! He sometimes gives me a free appetizer on the house when the kitchen need a rushed order of ingredients for their specialty dishes."

Tengu then pulls the door open to allow Natasha a look inside the restaurant, the decor ostentatiously Greek on the inside as it is on the outside. Nevertheless, the restaurant appeared bustling as with numerous species happily conversing with each other over their delicious meals. In fact humans appear to be the minority in the establishment with only one or two families seen at their dining tables among a building full of mythical creatures such as minotaurs, satyrs, merfolk, merfolk, lamia, centaurs, and even harpies.

"Ohhh Tengu! Welcome back! And you brought a friend too it looks like too! Can I get you both a table?" asked the well dress waiter behind the counter, a woman with slithering serpents for hair and wearing oversize sunglasses despite being indoors.

"Yes place Miltilda~" chirped Tengu, the snake haired smiled and nodded to the two of them.

"Okey, one moment if you don't mind. We will have table for you both shortly."

"Sure thing!"

Tengu then looks over Natasha and grins, resting her mechanical wrists along on her hips as she stands proudly to her friend.

"So what do you think of the place so far? Just what I was telling you about right?"

"Yeah so do I! There is something homely about Greek food that I can't quite put my feathers on... hrrmmm..." Tengu paused, pondering for a moment why that was before her thoughts were interrupted by Natasha's next question "Oh let me think... well this one day I was just flying about, delivering packages when I realized that it was my lunch break! But then... I realized-" Tengu then looks at Natasha with a serious expression, before exclaiming "I FORGOT MY LUNCH!"

Tengu then gives Nat grin as she continues her story "So I looked down and saw this place and thought "Hey I remember delivering packages here before, how about I have my lunch there?" and I have been coming here ever since~ Good food, good people, what more could you ask of restaurant?"

"Miss Tengu, we have table ready for the both of you. Just over in the corner if could follow me." interrupted Miltilda upon returning.

"Oh thanks! Come on lets get ourselves seated shall we?" piped up Tengu, before following the medusa to be seated at their table.

"Here you are, please make yourselves comfortable. Here are your menus and someone will be here shortly to order your drinks and food when you are ready"

"Thanks Miltilda! Your always such a dear~"

The medusa woman merely nods and smiles faintly before returning to her post behind the counter to attend a new group of customers coming in. Tengu then opens up her menu, resting her tush on stool so that she can sit comfortably without her tail being obstructed. As her eyes can through the list of many greek foods, she asks: "So what are you thinking? Still the pastitsio or fasolada like you were mentioning earlier?"

"Well to start of I will be getting a bowl of avgolemono. For the entree, I am planning on having the moussaka. It is by the best that I have had ever had... well ever!" answered Tengu, she already knew what she was going to get here before stepping though the door. She always however always looked through the menu out of habit just in case she saw something that would make her change her mind.

"What would I recommend? Well... keftedakia, or meatballs as some would call them, are really good if your comfortable with something with a bit of spice. But pretty much everything here is really good so you can't go wrong with whatever you choose." recommended Tengu as she sets her menu down on the side of the table.

"Oh the space station? Yeah I would be happy to go with you next week! I will be sure to request the day off depending on which day you plan to go up there. And Jackal? Hmmrrmm... I will be sure to ask him. I am sure he wouldn't mind tagging along as well~"

As Tengu beamed a smile, she saw one of the waiters approach their table from the corner of her eye and turned her body to face the young man whom for all intensive purposes would appear human.

"Ah hello again Tengu, can I get the both of your drinks? And if your ready I can get my your orders ready too unless you need a minute." Inquired the waiter, pulling out a small notepad ready to write down an order.

"I will just take a water please and thank you. Natasha are you ready to order? If you still not sure we can always start with just something to drink and maybe the appetizers." suggested Tengu as she looked over to her friend sitting across the table from her.

Tengu gives Natasha an affirmative nod, approving of her companion's culinary choice. She then looks to the waiter and places her order.

"Okey-dokie! In that case I will... uhh..." Tengu, having completely forgotten what it was she was going to order, quickly glances through the menu to jog her memory. After a quick look through the list of food a familiar name remaindered her of what she planned to order. "Oh right! So I was going to get the Dolmadakia to start off with for the appetizer and... uhhh... the the moussaka please!"

The waiter nodded, scribbling down the order and telling the both of them that he will get their beverages in a few moments. As the left left, Tengu turned back to Natasha with sly grin.

"Trying something new? Well if you want to try some new, authentic greek food this is is the place to do it~"

After Tengu's comment the waiter quickly returned with drinks and set them all down on the table.

"Here you misses are~" said the waiter

"Oh thanks you so very much!" thanked Tengu in return

"Of course, your appetizers will be out in a few minutes." spoke the waiter before departing once more attend to another table.

"So, would you say you have into your new home by the way or still working on it? And meet up with new, interesting people? Aside from myself of course~" piped up Tengu, curious how Natasha's life has been since they last saw each other.

((Totally fine. No word limit after all. Apologies for leaving you hanging for several days))

"Oh! So like a teacher? Well good on you for helping out the young vampires. We get young people coming to the island so there are bound to be a lot of kids or... recent vampires who would need that sort of guidance. Anyway, there are so many nice people around here and I am glad that you are finding them." smiled Tengu, trying to recall if any of those names are familiar to her. She probably delivered packages to some of these at some point but even with computer in her brain its hard to remember little details.

A few moments later, the waiter returned with their appetizers placed on platter. The man bends over and places their orders down: Dolmadakia for Tengu and taramasalata for Natasha.

"Oh! Thanks!" cheered Tengu as the waiter leaves them with their starters.As soon as they leave, Tengu wasted no time in snatching up one of the dolmadakia with her mechanical fingers and bites off half of the little green wrap.

"Mhmmmm~" murmered Tengu, nodding her head in approval. After swallowing her food she pipes up with "Oh this is sooo good! How is your food? What do you think of it?"
