ADVENTURE RP! NEW MEMBER WELLCOME!

Greg nodded happily and replied, "Sure, honey. I can take care of that."

He took a cutting board, knife, and the vegetables and began cutting them up.

Meanwhile, Rosalind continued taking care of other stuff like stirring and cooking.

Greg continued cutting up the vegetables, taking care in doing so. After some minutes, he finished and placed the vegetables in a big clean bowl. Then he turned to Rosalind and said, "I'm all done with the vegetables, honey. What else should I do? Would you like me to set the table?"

Rosalind took the chopped vegetables and replied, "Thanks, my love. Yup, that would be great. I am finishing up some stuff in here and then dinner will be all ready."

Greg replied, "All right, honey."

He walked to a drawer and opened it and took out some forks, knives, and spoons. Then he took them to the dining room and started to place settings for everyone at the table.

Rosalind then began to put the cooked food in dishes and plates, to be taken to the table.

Greg soon finished placing the knives, forks, and spoons on the table and then walked back to the kitchen, where he saw Rosalind plating the foods. He then took the liberty of opening a cupboard and taking out 4 empty glasses. He took them to the dining room and placed one for each setting, making sure not to break the glasses. Finally, he went back to the kitchen and said,

"The food looks delicious, honey. Would you like me to move the plates while you get some water or juice for the glasses?"

Rosalind replied, "It's ok, honey. I'll take care of everything."

She began taking the plates of food and moving them to the table, which was nicely laid out.

As Rosalind busied herself with moving the food to the table, Greg thought it time to go to the living room and let Andra and Patriaclos know that dinner was ready. He walked there and then announced,

"Ahh dinner's all ready. Rosalind is putting the food on the table as we speak."

Patriaclos replied, "We'll be right there."

Greg nodded and then walked back to the dining room. Patriaclos then turned to Andra and asked, "Shall we go to dinner, dear?"

Andra nodded and replied, "Ahh yup. We sure need a nice dinner now."

She waited for him to take the lead.

Meanwhile, Rosalind had already put all the cooked food and could only wait for the others to come so that they would have dinner all together.

Patriaclos smiled and got up and helped Andra to her feet. Then he held her arm and escorted her to the dining room, where Rosalind and Greg were sitting in their places. Patriaclos then helped Andra to her seat and took his seat next to her. He looked at the food spread before them and said,

"Wow, honey. Dinner sure looks great."

Rosalind replied, "Thanks, Dad. I sure hoped that Bryan and Rosaline were with us now, but oh well."

Patriaclos replied, "Me, too, honey. Me, too. But I'm sure that they are happily having dinner. Ahh did you two get a chance to visit them or run into them?"

Greg shook his head and replied, "No, sir, but we'll definitely see them tomorrow night."

Rosalind nodded and replied, "Yup, that's right. I am looking forward to listen to Bryan playing his piano. He's absolutely talented in that."

(And cute, too. )

(lol )

Greg added, "Same here. I'm very happy for Bryan. I knew he was talented but to get the chance to perform on a world stage, that's amazing. I'm sure he'll become very famous."

Patriaclos replied, "Yup and Bryan's a good man. I'm glad that he and Rosaline are married, for I know he will provide for her very well."

Rosalind agreed, "She seems to be very happy when she is with him. I am sure those two can have a wonderful future together."

Greg replied, "Yup, she sure does. Even though Rosaline and I don't always see eye-to-eye on things, even I'm happy to see her happy. Everyone deserves happiness, at least as much as that which we have."

He looked at Rosalind happily with love in his eyes.

Rosalind replied, "I am so happy that you are happy with me, honey. I could ask for nothing more than just making you happy with your in love in return."

Greg looked upon happily at Rosalind and replied, "And I will always love you, honey. You are the only woman for me, who completes me in heart and soul."

Patriaclos observed Rosalind and Greg, wondering what was up with the love words and also whether they were going to start eating.

Rosalind gazed back in Greg's eyes for some moments but then said, "Anyway, now, now, should we eat? Someone taste the food."

Patriaclos felt grateful that Rosalind suggested that they start eating. He took his knife and fork, cut the steak up into small pieces, and then placed a piece on his fork and chewed it. The steak tasted just right, not too hard or soft. And the taste was absolutely savory. As soon as he finished the piece, he said,

"Yum. This is delicious, sweetie."

Rosalind replied, "Thanks, Dad. What do you think, dear?"

She turned to Greg.

Greg turned to his plate of food, took his knife and fork, and then began cutting it up into manageable pieces to chew. Then he took a piece on his fork and chewed. Patriaclos was right-the food did taste delicious and it was perfectly cooked. He looked to Rosalind and said,

"Your dad's right. The food is delicious and absolutely perfect."

Andra took a small bite of her food and replied, "Yup, agreed."

Rosalind replied, "Thanks, everyone. But Greg helped me, too."

Patriaclos turned to Greg and replied, "Ahh really?"

Greg nodded and replied, "Yup, just a little. I helped Rosalind with cutting the vegetables."

Patriaclos replied, "Ahh I see." He then took a bite of the vegetables, which did indeed taste good, too. He then said, "Yum! The vegetables are good, too."
