The Tanuki Express cart is set up in pride of place in the market central square, and a number of small tables and umbrellas have been set up inside a rope barrier to form a sort of temporary cafe. A pair of sandwich board signs are advertising a free taste testing to a limited number of customers, along with a little disclaimer that what you get is what you get and don't complain because you get it for free! The tanuki proprieter himself is leaning on his cart, stacked with covered baskets. He smiles happily as beings come to enjoy an experimental lunch on him. "Come on in!" he calls out, "Just a few more and we can get started."
A small smile from Flora, though she looks, perhaps, a bit confused. "Inside where? Under here? That is still outside, yes," she concludes, even though she does, in fact, move under the umbrellas. "Nothing spicy, nothing super salty, yes," the cat offers... Well, technically, she isn't complaining, at least.
With other beings beginning to mill around the display, a skunk merchant meanders in closer with her thick plume of tail nestled against her back. Jynx peeks past others with a basket nestled into the crook of her elbow, murmuring very softly to herself, "I wonder what's going on?" Heading in closer, she's drawn in, "Mmmn, what have we here?" in a cheery tone. She glances both at the other beings about as well as at the raccoon vendor.
And before long, a third person arrives! A timid, scraggly mouse girl! Blinking, and immediatly recognizing the stand owner from last she was around! Glancing around, curiously checking to see if there's anyone else she recognizes around before she walks "Into the establishment" with a flick of her tail.
"Come in, come in," Tam says, ushering beings to tables, "Just take a seat! I've got a real treat for all of you!" The burly tanuki goes over to his cart and collects an armfull of covered baskets, depositing them on tables.
After there is a large basket on each table, he lifts the cloth cover off one and bids others to do the same.
Inside is a collection of golden brown buns, wrapped in several different colors of paper, red, blue, green, and brown. Aside from the wrappers, the fried buns look pretty much uniform.
"I hope you are all hungry!" Tam calls out, "Enjoy your lunch! All I ask is that you bring me the wrapper of the bun you like best as you go and drop it right here on my little cart!" He points out a little box made for this purpose beside him. "Enjoy! And I'll come 'round and see how ya'll are doing!"
Flora seems... Hesitant at best. Peculiar at the worst. She takes a couple of sniffs of the different buns, weighing them, tossing them from paw to paw. She isn't exactly eating them yet. One of her guards, on the other hand, is already digging in, while Flora continues with her strange, if thorough investigation...
A little squeek emits from the skunk as she's ushered into a seat by the burly raccoon, and she settles down, smoothing her dress into place. Watching the display, she follows suit and looks over the various buns on the playyer, ears flicker-flicking, "Oh my! Choices, choices... Mmmn, I shall go with the least appetizing-colored wrapper, first!" Gingerly, she plucks up the blue-paper bun and gingerly peels away the wrapper and giving an experimental sniff-sniff before she sinks her teeth into the downy flesh of the bun.
Vaerinthia takes her seat summarily with the others that're gathered around, ears flopping with a gentle twitching motion of her tail. Giving each of those warm buns a good look-over before closing her eyes and grabbing one at random! She goooooot-.. Green! Shrugging, peeling the wrapper off and digging into it!
The fried buns are beautifully cooked and artfully wrapped. The bread is a perfect golden brown, and really, they all look pretty much the same.
Jynx finds that the bread is perfectly crisp without being crunchy and the bun is warm and delicious. Just under the bready surface, the strong flavors of mint and lamb become readily apparent, along with a miriad of other, subtler spices.
Vaerinthia's green wrapped choice is equally flaky and warm, though her first bite is filled with a savory green sauce of some kind, with little bits of shredded chicken inside.
Tam saunters around, chatting with all the beings testing out his wares and waddles up to Flora's table. "Hello there, Highlady!" he greets her, "Everything alright there?"
"Flora is inspecting the buns, yes. That is what mister Tam wanted, yes?" the she-cat offers, as she continues investigating basically everything about the buns, save for taste. Her tails flick behind her, and her ears twitch atop her head.
"Any of them spicy? Flora does not handle spice well, no. Flora would like to avoid that."
Flora's guard, meanwhile, is digging into a blue-wrapped bun
Jynx worries the contents from the lately blue-wrapped bun, sure to roll its flavor around on her tongue. Smacking her lips to airate inside her mouth, the skunk takes another few bites, quite thoughtful of the taste combination before setting the half-eaten bun down. She glances about for some water to clean her mouth with for a fresh viewpoint on the next bun, picking up the one with the red wrapping. This, too, she peels and sinks her teeth into.
Vaerinthia blinks and tilts her head with an arched brow as she stares at the bun-.. Or more specificly the green sauce. Licking her short cropped snout with a little shrug. She definately likes the taste! But the sauce looks.. Unsavoury to say the least. Greens shouldn't be in food, mhm!
Tam scratches his head as he watches Flora's thorough investigation. "Yeah," he admits, "The red ones are kind of spicy, I guess. Nothing to scare of a Shralestan, but I guess it might be hot for a Cliffsider." He turns a grin on the mink, munching on her food. "Whaddya think?" he asks, "Is the mint alright? I wasn't sure on the amount."
There are pitchers of water and a few little tin cups set about on the tables, for exactly the reason Jynx wants them. The red wrapped bun IS fairly spicy. Not painfully so, but there is some definite pepper in that! The savory red sauce has little slivers of some sort of red pepper along with sliced nuts and tender meat.
As for the green-filled bun, well, whatever the taste, that green is not going anywhere. The buns are fairly small though, leaving lots of room to sample everything!
"Flora will avoid those, then. Flora was never good with spicy food," the she-cat concludes, as she opts for one of the brown-wrapped buns, juggling it for a moment, before breaking it in two and examining the insides first, before taking a bite, IF it looks apetizing enough. Can't be too careful, after all.
When she red sauce touches her tongue, Jynx castches some of the flavor and lightly ferrets through the mouthful, experimenting. Finding the slivers and feeling the light heat of the contents, she dips her head to deposit it onto the wrapper. Plucking up a piece of the meat out from it, she gives that a light chew, enjoying the tenderness, but the heat seems to be off-putting, for her.. Lightly combing her tongue off with the edge of the wrapper, she takes a thorough drink of water before moving on to the brown-wrapper one.
