If you're not drinking, then let's eat.
Ahern went out of his way to order the specialty dishes of this place to entertain Basil Jaak. In a short while, the whole table was full.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Dawn Sutton frowned and said, "That's a lot of food. Can the four of us finish it all?"
Basil Jaak turned his head and smiled at Dawn Sutton, "We can get the leftovers boxed if we can't finish. It's a kind gesture from Ahern."
"Yes, yes, if we can't finish, we can get it packed. Don't be shy." Ahern warmly greeted and thought to himself that although this amount of food seemed a lot to others, for Basil Jaak and him, it was quite reasonable.
Keep in mind, Ahern and Basil Jaak had once together finished off a similar amount of food during their time in custody, and they had also drunk quite a lot of alcohol then.
As the food was served, Basil Jaak didn't hold back and immediately started eating fervidly, enjoying the dishes.
