What do you mean? If I were lying to you, if I wanted to kill you, I'd have finished the job just now. It would have been all too easy once I depowered you. But I didn't even TRY to follow up.
I don't owe you explanations. And perhaps one day, I'll decide that you would serve me better as a corpse. But not today. Not now. Hopefully,. not for some time.

::Walks back out from the kitchen with a pair of slices of pie on plates::
Come on now, sit down and cool off. Especially you, Akver. These pies are done to PERFECTION and you don't need to singe them.
::puts a fork deliberately in front of each lady and sits across the bar from them, chin cupped in his hands with an expectant expression on his face::

SNOW WHITE!
::runs around the bar and gives her a hug::
My greatest challenge yet! You don't like apples, do you?

:Snow seems startled by Tenzil but attempts to recover her composure:
Apples? Oh,I generally try to stay away from them. They don't.. agree.. with me.

As I understand it, she LOVES apples. And that's her whole problem.
*Reluctantly sits down and begins to eat.*

Witnesses then. This whole place seems to be grided with multiple listening and servailence. *Obviously refuses to trust Ursa. Speaking Kryptonian still.*
*Slowly rises from her position on the ground. Her eyes watching Ursa as if expecting her to pull out a kryptonite dagger.*
*Blinks at the sudden appearance of the fork. Takes it. Notices as Snow walks into the Bistro. Switches to heavily accented English. Totally and utterly powerless for at least three more hours.* I will not harm you, Ma'am.
*Walks over to where Tenzil is and pulls the stool where Ursa or anyone couldn't sit next to her at the bar. too close at least.*
Thank you for the pie, *tries to give Tenzil a smile,* and you can call me Thara. Mister.....?

But you see, that is my challenge! To create an apple pie that even a lifelong apple-hater will enjoy!
::leads Snow to a seat at the bar::
I have several different formulations I just pulled from the oven I'd LOVE for you to try and let me know your thoughts!

::Leans back over to Thara::
Tenzil Kem. Senator, lawyer, cook, superhero extrordinaire. Perhaps even in your time you've heard of the heroic exploits of Matter-Eater Lad and the Legion of Superheroes?

Well, Thara. If I'm so concerned with witnesses, all you have to do is remain visible rolleyes

::runs out to the kitchen and back into the bar balancing four plates, each one with a slice of pie on it::
Now, a couple of these are more traditional Earth recipes, and one of them uses Durlan shifting-fruit as a counterpoint to the apple.
::sets one down in front of her::
Traditional apple pie. Apple type is Gnarlimentary My Dear Watson. They, uh, really started reaching for names when the hybridization really boomed in the twenty-eighth century. Cinnamon is from Winath, home-grown on the farm of my good friend Lightning Lad. You should have a slight sour undertaste followed by a sweet cinnamon aftertaste with this one.

It's nice to meet you Mr. Tenzil Kem. *Her eyes widen slightly at his long list of duties.*
I believe I found some information about a Matter-Eater Lad when i was here before. Is it true that you can ingest anything without harmful repercussions? *pulls the Pie closer to her new location.*
*Looks over to Snow and tries to give her a soothing smile. All the while keeping Ursa in sight, one way or another. Though at the same time just ignores her.*

Ermm
Yes, well, it's too bad my kids aren't here. They love apples. I just don't keep them in the house..

Well, Thara, I believe that the label should always fit the power. So if I'm Matter-Eater Lad, then yes, I eat Matter. Just like how you have flame powers, and also, I assume, turn into a bird.
::pushes the plate a little closer to Snow::
If this one doesn't tickle your fancy, we can try the chocolate-apple one...
