Chapter 272: New addition
Coco sank into her seat at the dining table, her gaze fixed on the spread of food laid out before her.
The scents of spices and fresh ingredients wafted through the air, a tantalizing scent that made her mouth water— well, first of all, the food looked delicious, each dish bursting with colors and appealing to the senses.
Second, the sight of it made Coco’s stomach growl in anticipation as she took in the mouthwatering sight of the meal, her appetite awakened by the sight and smells of the feast.
"You look like you’re ready to dive right in and devour everything by yourself." Renaldo commented, chuckling under his breath as he set a plate down in front of Coco, his expression soft and his movements efficient.
As the plate came to rest, Coco’s lips curled up into a subtle smile. "That I would do, but I want to eat with all of you so I won’t."
Her response elicited an amused laugh from Renaldo and a delighted giggle from Jacques, both friends of hers finding her eagerness to start eating and her cheeky response endearing.
"I’m flattered." Jacques hums out, smiling softly towards her black haired friend.
"You should be." Coco said as she pulled the plate towards her, "I don’t compliment other people’s cooking because I’m a picky eater, you know? You’re one of the best cooks around here."
"One of the best cooks?" Jacques raised an eyebrow, settling herself in front of Coco, "Who are the others?"
"En, the cook from the Red Horse Inn." Coco answered, her gaze glued to the flying pig’s ribs before her, "I love everything En cooks, it gives me a lot of strength whenever I’m done eating whatever he packed me for breakfast and lunch."
