The Snack Den

[Firox]

The first thing those Vee ? ears will pick up are the sound of voices speaking in Chinese.
The next thing that the Vee ? nose will pick up are the smell of dumplings, and other beef and chicken meals on woks. 

Just before Vee ? can take a few steps, they get happily 'tackled' hug by someone speaking in a cheerful voice. They suddenly get lifted and  move on up.
"How you doing there?  so great to see you again.  Mom an dad are preparing us something tasty to eat. even if I mentioned it a few times, still wants to say it... thanks to you, Aaron, and Espy for helping me get back home."
I'm sure Vee ? will remember Flower the Minefoo who they helped to get back home after getting lost and very injured from  two evil poachers.
"Will give thanks to Sylvee when I get to call her later on."

Flower sets Vee ? on  Xia's right side. Where they can see that she has  about ten stacks of dumplings steaming And in the wok in front of her she is making Vee's ? favorite, the fresh orange chicken.
Xia the MIenshao takes the time to greet Vee ?, while gently petting the back of their ears with that long tail of her.s.
"Almost done there, just gimme a short few minutes."
As she was pouring in the orange glaze to the chicken before starting to toss them.
"Would you like any chow mein, or fried rice? or just the orange chicken alone with dumplings?"

*giggles and happily greets them before going over to get some chinese food to enjoy*

A nice good sized bowl of orange chicken.  The dumplings are filled with soft pork, and spinach bok choy veggies, and some tasty broth.   So when nibbled on, they  are so yummy and filling.

No surprise when Grace, Joseph, Linette, and Vanessa all go with some spicy choices, like the spicy Szechuan peppercorn  kung pao chicken.
Jyo and all the kitties went with the seafood option.
For myself, the 'Fried Rice' with 'Mongolian Beef', 'General Tsao', some 'Orange Chicken', and of course a few dumplings.

Xia smiles knowing everyone is enjoying the meal she made, as she is from Tai... well how China wants it to be called 'ROC, Republic of China' while Tseng helping out is a Zangoose from hong Kong.

*happily enjoys the bowl, making a bit of a mess as I look around the den at what others are up to*

[Firox]

Still early in den, so everyone is still eating.

Jyo using their 'Psychic' powers tries to move the Vee's ? bowl away, by making it float and trying to move it their way, while pretending not to notice. The Lavender glow is a dead giveaway as the saying goes.  The male Espeons have lavender glow, while the female Espeons have a more pink glow to them.
Another give away is that Jyo is giggling to himself.

[?]

*looks over at Jyo* heey! *throws a piece of chicken right at Jyo's nose for doing so*

[Firox]

Jyo is unaware as it keeps eating.  Truthfully he is fully aware of what he is doing, but still pretends not to notice.
"What I do? it does smell good though.  Come on over and enjoy more."
Jyo even moves a little bit so they can let Vee ? sit next to them.
He does have a bowl of Mongolian Beef, some chow mein, and a Hong Kong inspired seafood dish.
Jyo then gently rasps their nosey as they got comfortable.

[?]

*turns head and playfully gives their bowl a push, knocking it all over n sticks tongue out* 

[Firox]

"What Dat For?"
Jyo can only watch as the entire bowl's content fall out.
Quickly tries to nom up the seafood and dumplings.  If that pushing paw gets close, it will get nommed or rasped.

[?]

*Giggles and tries to block the bowl, n smear some of their cheek*

[Firox]

Jyo 'Meows' a few times still trying to get to the seafood, gigglez! cats and seafood.

He even tries to stick tongue out to reach a few seafood items right next to Vee's ? pushing paws.  Kind of a silly tug-o-war.

[?]

*tries to push their nose back and avoid the kitty tongue to*  all mines now, hehe

[Firox]

"hey... you haz... ya ownz.... plates!... daz iz.... mine"
Jyo still trying to get to the seafood portion.  Vee ? is blocking their path.
Elise can't help it and laughs at the silliness.

[?]

*sticks tongue out as I keep blocking* nuu, ya tries to take my plate

[Firox]

Elise picked the perfect time to move Vee ? out of the way, as Jyo suddenly pounced, and of course missed the Vee ? all together, instead the kitty Espeon  pounced on my own plate, spilling all the Mongolian Beef on my face.

Grace attempts her cheating moment.
"Hey there, if you gives up, next time will make you a super tasty burger.  I just get to win, how about it?
She says gently nudging the Vee's ? left shoulder with her right paw.
