“Come in come in, of course you’re more than welcome.  It’s dreadfully warm out there and we can’t have you simply collapsing on my lawn.  What will the guests say?  Now what can I fetch you?”

So, Sacramento pride starts is this weekend.  I’m thinking about going for one night.  Anyone want to join me?  

Now that...might be worth disappearing from the inn for.

One of my best friends just found out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her with another guy, she been crying to me over the phone asking what she did wrong.

Well that’s a rather...delicate situation.  Rather begs the question how you’re replying, my dear.

Elise kept her smile while listening to his sweet words. “It feels nice when people worry about you, you feel special. On other hand, I hope I won’t be a reason of concern too soon, I wouldn’t like to bother you with that.” Regarding someone self-sufficient as Elise, having people worrying about her like him was somewhat unexpected. Surely she loved that, but it would be better if she doesn’t give him worries, she would feel guilty. “You are right. I am really excited for it! This will be my first time there. I feel it will be unforgettable! And you?” 

Mitchell hummed.  He rather agreed on both fronts.  That delicate balance between feeling a nuisance and needing someone to care for them at times.  He huffed out a little laugh.  “Oh the wonderful thoughts that come with being human,” he murmured with a little smile.  “But you seem on the mend, so all the hope for a full recovery!” He beamed.  Exciting trips where what this time was for.  Exploration!  Discovery of the new and the self.  “Oh I’ll do some camping, but mostly working.  Summer is such a busy season for me and my business.”

Afternoon Tea with Mitchell ☕️

Text: I was just waiting for the penny to drop.  Took longer than I thought frankly.

Text: Wonderful!  Pick the dates.  I’ll make the arrangements. 

Text: Alexis is asking us to visit in LA. Any interest in a trip this summer?

Text:  Who the hell is Alexis…?

Text: Oh!  God dammit!  I keep forgetting his damn first name is Alexis

Text: I wouldn’t mind a trip.  I have some PTO to use at work so as long as I have a couple week’s notice, the store should be fine without me.

“But you could always suggest what you would’ve liked when you were a student,” Josh added with a slight shrug. There was a faint blush on his cheeks as he looked down bashfully, “Thank you.” Josh smiled brightly, “Yes. A very much needed one. I haven’t seen my family as much as I’d like to. Didn’t you enjoy your time back at home?” he asked quite confused. “You know me, I’m always up to work. I must admit I’m quite torn. I’m happy that you both are living together now, but I lost my roommate and that has taken some adjusting,” Josh admitted with a somewhat sad voice. “I am looking to learn more and I would like to go back to the rest.”

“True enough.  I suppose that would be options.  And exposure to a wider range of things than simply my dedicated coursework.  The things no one tells you of in the real world.  A simply accounting class for most students,” Mitchell replied with a little tease.  He nodded and gave a little hum, listening with a soft smile.  “Oh it’s most definitely a need.  A recharge of the batteries.” He gave a little laugh.  “It was nice to see them, as strained as it could be from time to time.  But a bit too long.” He gave a small smile and nodded.  “You know you’re always welcome at the Rest.  And when you get back, look in.  We’ll see what we can’t do about getting you back in harness in the kitchen.”

Text: Perfect! Not yet, but we’re on our way to it. Vik is getting more irritable so I’m just hoping going back to L.A. will help

Text: Fair enough.  I’ll have an answer soon.  Get her to the sunshine my dear!  

Text: Hey, man! Just wanted to check if you and Easton decided to visit L.A. Vik and I would like you guys to join us for dinner once we're there

Text: Oh happy day.  Absolutely.  I’ll need to talk it over with the dear musician before we set anything in stone.

Hearing him made Elise smile brightly. “Thank you for your concern!” She said, laughing at his acts. “I feel happy that you are like that, it’s hard to meet people that is a truly friend as you nowadays.” She nodded weakly and paid attention to his next words. “Oh, this is sad! I am supposed to be with my father and maybe we are going to South Korea so I would meet my father’s family. But I would be back soon thought.” She said, as if she needed to make sure that he wouldn’t be alone.

“But of course my dear.  Concern is simply a part of the package with my friendship,” Mitchell replied with an easy smile.  He liked the young lady, and it was always so welcome to share and talk with her.  Relaxing in a way he’d missed.  He gave an easy shrug, well versed in the summers here.  “Now that sounds like a bit of an adventure.  South Korea sounds like a fascinating voyage!  Have you ever been before?”

“Do you regret this path?” he asked even more interested now that he knew more of the hotelier. “It’s the truth. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who notices it” he nodded. “I might stop by to bug you and Easton a little bit” he winked. “Seriously? My mom will really love the idea. I’ll ask when is her next Friday off and then I’ll let you know”

“No, not especially.  It’s been a pleasant diversion these last few years.  One I’m not quite done with, I don’t think,” Mitchell replied with a bright little smile.  “More flattery my dear.  If only I could translate that to Yelp and TripAdvisor.  I’m afraid I’ve slipped some in my absence,” he replied with a little sigh.  “Oh please do.  He’ll be bored three days in and won’t know what to do.” He hummed and nodded with a smile.  “Utterly.  It’s my pleasure and I’ll be happy to do.  It’s usually a set, plated special with some variance in seasonal sides.  Just let me know if there are any dietary restrictions and I’ll handle the lot of it.” He so loved that part of his work, of his life.

“ In a few days, just need to finish our packing up”

“A bittersweet calendar notice to be sure.”

mrlysher:

Text: Great! Sure, man, check it with Easton and lemme know. Vik will flight there first and I’ll be joining her next weekend

Text: You shall absolutely hear from us before too long, that I assure you.  Have you both settled into summer lodgings?

Text: Hey, man! Just wanted to check if you and Easton decided to visit L.A. Vik and I would like you guys to join us for dinner once we're there

Text: Oh happy day.  Absolutely.  I’ll need to talk it over with the dear musician before we set anything in stone.  

[mitchellatrest]

would you ever want easton to be a partner in your business?

That’s a rather interesting proposition.  I think he’s a rather excellent focus on what he puts his mind to.  And if it were in his desire to step up, to step into a role like that at the SpoonRest, that would be a conversation I’d be willing to have.  

Want, I find, is rather outside the scope of this discussion as it so fails to characterization the relationship between us or with our individual passions.

“What do you think would be a good change to make it better?” Josh asked with a slight tilt of his head. “I appreciate it, Mitch. It means a lot to have someone you admire having a good opinion about you,” was his answer with a giggle. “It’s great to hear that. I do, I’m planning to visit my family in Mexico and then I will be back and I’ll look for a summer job. Are you looking to hire some help?”

“I don’t know honestly,” Mitchell replied with a little laugh.  “I’m afraid I don’t have that depth of educational theory to make a go at changing the system,” he murmured with a sheepish little shrug.  “You’re more than welcome my dear, and it is more than well earned.” He hummed lightly and rolled a shoulder.  “A bit of a break with the family?  I can understand the enjoyment there.  Though I’ve had a dose of it heavily recently.” He hummed.  “I might need an extra pair of hands about.  Depending on how much time Easton likes to take up being in the Rest at all hours.”  His eyes sparkled at the thought.  “Are you looking for positions already my dear?”

[mitchellatrest]

nathanielbennett:

He frowned slightly “Really? You’ve been teaching for a long time?” he just realized that he really didn’t know much about the professor. “Sounds like it. I’ve seen very little of the SpoonRest but it does remind me of you” he smiled a little.”It makes sense you wouldn’t want to leave something so yours for someone else to manage it.” He nodded and grinned “Yeah it is. I’m thinking of spending the whole summer at home cause I haven’t seen mom that often. Would it be ok if I bring her to one of your Friday nights supper?”

“Honestly, no.  But I came here as a benefit to a friend.  It was never my passionate vocation,” Mitchell replied with a little smile.  “Then that is high praise indeed that the space can still radiate who I am.” He preened a bit a that idea, so pleased that someone else understood his motivations, at least as far as that.  “Then if you’re local, I look forward to seeing something of you this summer.” He laughed.  “But of course my dear!  Whenever you should like.  Drop me a line and I’ll save you a table.”

Logan smiled looking at him  “ Thank you”

“When do you leave officially, now that the hullabaloo is done?”
