Ooohh. Hmmmm. How DID Denny De Palma come up with all his decadent desserts and electrifying entrees?

"Inspiration, my dear. From nearly anything!" His eyes darted around the booth, settling on a simple silver spoon.

"Like this spoon!" He grabbed it and held it up dramatically. "Sometimes... I like to hang spoons from my nose!" And so he did. Balancing it there, he continued to talk to her. "And so maybe it would be easier to hang a spoon if my nose were bigger. And then, voila! An idea for something new!"

He gave a small turn, spoon swinging wildly. "Imagination, inspiration, perspiration. That's what makes good food."

Fletcher nodded quite seriously and paused to take a breath in his rambling. Whoa, whoa this obviously WAS THE BEST table because here this world-famous cupcake author was handing him some food! FREE SAMPLES FREE SAMPLES!

No warning bulb went off in this boy's head. Heh. He eagerly accepted the creme brulee with a grin and stuffed it into his mouth, whole. Fletcher started chewing and nodding appreciatively.

"Tis berry berry wiiight and fufffy," he told the man. "And kind...a... I gots dis urrrge to... tooooo....."

Fletcher swallowed and his eyes seemed to bulge out as his legs started dancing and kicking to the can-can all on their own. His arms even started to swirl an invisible skirt around. The boy danced right over to Torin Kane and grabbed onto the boy's shoulder, still kicking and dancing the can-can as if he was a Radio City Rockette.

"Oh I get it," he called out, watching his own legs display an air of flexibility that would surely hurt later, "they're MAGIC samples! HA! AWESOME!"
And the evidence was right there! "Indeed! Marvelously magical!" Denny clapped his hands, and laughed heartily as the boy danced around.

That was certainly one of Denny's favorites.

The young man glanced over to the dancing boy and smirked. "Now that is one of our specialities." Leo handed the boy a card to read. "Can-Can Creme Brulee. If you ever have the need to start dancing like the can-can dancers of France, well that is the dessert for you. And if you'd rather just have the Creme Brulee, as it's labelled on the card, you just skip the step that requires one to put the dancing spell on the dessert and it won't be added."

Leo glanced over to Denny trying to get him to notice that he was being helpful, and nice to all the little students that were visiting him. He'd even test out some of the desserts later, once more people came to the table.
Denny looked over to Leo. Such a stick in the mud. Serrrrrious. He'd have to do something about that.

Later.

"Leo! Hey, Leo! Don't forget to tell him about apprenticeships!" Sure, the booth was small, but Denny, well, he was loud.
