gives a fresh raspberry compote served with a whipped creme topped with a mint leaf and a single fresh raspberry
Aina’s eyes grow wide and shiny at the sight of the dessert set in front of her. It’s the prettiest dish she’s had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time, and if it tastes as divine as it looks, she’ll be up high in Heaven! Well, for a little while.
She peels her eyes off the syrup-cooked fruit to regard the tall, dark pale man behind it. “Ahhhh, this looks yummy! Did you make this? Thank you-thank you-thank you!” she gushes, clapping her hands. She wastes no time sitting down and plucking the mint leaf and raspberry off the whipped creme, the first morsel to go.
She stamps them both onto her tongue, side by side, before rolling them in to chew. She lets the cool, crisp flavor of the leaf mix with the tart juice of the raspberry and seep into her palate before swallowing, giggling to herself all the while. What a tender delightful fruit, the raspberry is!
She then grabs a spoon with her left hand and proceeds to shovel all the whipped creme on top of the compote to mix together. “Say, if you don’ mind me askin’, what’s the occasion?”
