sohoangel: (what was that?)

Aziraphale has been a patron of many a storyteller (including the Bard himself), and knows better than to ask to be entertained for free. But Molly sounds eager to share, and so the angel sits there, curious and eager to hear more. He laughs at the ego comment. "I'm sure you and your friends made things for the better. Certainly if you're going after slavers and their ilk."

The angel considers himself a good judge of character (except for a couple times when he really missed the mark), and he likes Molly quite a bit. That impression extends to the rest of the Mighty Nein.

"You have chocolate on your world?" Aziraphale would have assumed the opposite, but he's pleased to hear Molly's enthusiasm over it. "You might be familiar with bisque under a different name. It's a very creamy sort of soup made with seafood, although they have a butternut squash bisque sometimes that isn't technically a bisque, but still very good and I wouldn't turn my nose up at it."

The finer points of soup versus bisque will have to wait, because the waiter is back to take their orders. It turns out that the soup of the day is tomato basil, not a bisque, but Aziraphale orders it anyway, along with a small savory tart and a brioche roll, and a pot of orange blossom tea for the table.
