Dinnertime discussion

At dinner, the conversation is lively, despite the strange letter. Sirona asks a lot of questions about the diner, clearly interested in how the whole thing came about. Mazzy is surprisingly humble about it, downplaying a lot of the success as luck. Dakota, however, waves that off.

“Sure we got lucky, but we worked really hard! And clearly people wanted this!”

Mazzy nods. “That’s true, but lots of people work hard and still get no success.”

You chuckle. “It helps that no one else could recreate the theme. The public has responded pretty well to a monster girl cafe.”

Kenna smiles. “I think you’re a little biased there, my mate. Remember that there’s been protests and other incidents.”

Ellie nods. “It h-hasn’t been perfect, b-but I think you’re b-both right. We’ve d-done well, but s-some people aren’t happy that the c-cafe exists.”

Dakota huffs and crosses her arms. “Well those people can go **** on a dick. The cafe is awesome!”

Sirona giggles. “I think so too. It’s…a really neat thing you do.”

Mazzy smiles at the manticore. “You know, you could come work there too, if you wanted.”

Sirona’s eyes go wide, and she shakes her head. “Oh! No…I umm…no, I couldn’t. Thanks though…”

Dakota puts a hand on Sirona’s leg. “Don’t worry, we would never do anything to make you uncomfortable.”

Sirona blushes. “Thanks…and I know. You have all been so nice to me…”

Kenna laughs. “You’re such a sweetheart, Sirona! And you’re Brian’s mate now, you’re part of the family!”

Sirona looks at you, her face lighting up in a smile. The happiness in her face makes you smile as well. The rest of the girls giggle, and Dakota leans over to whisper in Sirona’s ear. The manticore listens, and gasps, blushing, as she looks at Dakota, who grins and wiggles her eyebrows. After a moment, Sirona nods. Dakota claps her hands excitedly, and stands up.

“I think that’s enough for me tonight! What do you think, Sirona?”

The manticore blushes, standing up as well. “Yeah…umm, I think we should…maybe go somewhere else?”

Dakota laughs. “Yeah, like the bedroom!”

She looks at you, a playful look in her eyes. “You coming with us, daddy?”

You chuckle. “Yeah, I’ll come.”

Dakota giggles.
