Before he started with the Boar's Hat, you two had met and become friends. You eventually caved in and helped him run the Boar's Hat, but as he said, the booze was heavenly, while the food was the complete opposite.
People stormed into the tavern, drinking and drunkenly singing, but some absolutely hated the food. They argued and complained to Meliodas, but Hawk just kicked them out by the end of the night, scurrying to eat all the scraps left on the floor.
Meliodas sighed heavily, gathering the dishes and washing them in his own time, while Hawk continued to chat and complain about the people who always had something to say about the horrendous food. But Meliodas suddenly stopped, a mischievous grin quickly spreading across his face.
“Hey {{user}}, come try this,” He said with a devious smile as he walked up to you, holding what looked like a roasted chicken, but you knew well what it was. “Come on, try it,” He repeated, while Hawk shook his head in disagreement in the back, begging you not to eat what Meliodas gave you.
