Punishment for what, I wonder? Theft? Insubordination? Unless maybe it wasn't the House who cursed him, but a scorned ex-lover or something like that.
[He indulges in some speculation all while knowing it might not be any of these possibilities. Especially not the last one. The staff are presumably too busy encouraging them to **** like rabbits to have any love affairs themselves. Though, now that he thinks of it, he did read something about a woman who got so mad at her disloyal fiancé that she cursed him to a million minor mishaps and inconveniences...
... eh, probably not related. It'd be too convenient if it were!
Anyway, back to the food convo. In response to that he remarks,]
That's good to hear. The rabbit ones sounded sketchier, but I was sort of worried about those ones too, since some of the fruits look like science experiments. I asked him what one of them was, and he said, "Pearplumtoe!" So I said, "That's not a word! You just made that up!" But he said, "What do you want from me? I'm not the gardener, I'm just the cook!" And then I noticed he was sweating quite a bit onto the grill, and that grossed me out, so I decided to standby for now.
