(Your phone rings.)
Hi! It's me again, hi. We really loved your food from last week! Could I get a BLT sandwich to go? Yeah, just one normal sized sandwich, thanks!

Maureen hangs up the phone after taking down all the details of Gemma's orders. She then turns to Babette putting on the sweetest smile as she can. "Hello." Babette smiles, looking up from what she was doing. "So..we've got another order from Ms. Gemma." Maureen keeps her tone light. "She wanted to try our BLT sandwich." "Oh that's nice. Should I get on making it then?" The smile on Maureen's face falters for a fraction of a second. "Yes. But um--well.." "What." Babette turns to her, skepticism edging in her expression. "What is it."
"Don't be upset." Maureen puts her hands up, like she's trying to calm down a scared animal. "But she only wants one."
"Okay" Babette shrugs. "That's not so bad." "One normal sized sandwich " Maureen clarifies. "̴O̸h̶ ̸f̶o̷r̸ ̶f̷u̶c̷k̶'̸s̵ ̸s̴a̷k̵e̷s̸!̵"̸ ̴ ("Oh for fuck's sakes!") Babette cusses, slamming a dish towel on the table.
Maureen is quick to comfort her, placing gentle hands on Babette's shoulders. "Darling, darling, you know we've talked about this." the hands start moving and she goes on to give the demon a sort of massage. "Humans can't eat too much, they physical can't without getting sick. And we want to have our customers coming back so we can't overwhelm them." "I know." Babette sighs. "I know. I know." she leans in Maureen's touch for a moment before she starts moving. "I'm gonna go make a regular human sandwich for regular human consumption." the words are said with a pout. "People are really loving your food." Maureen points out, a softer smile on her face. The manages to make Babette smile but there's still some hesitation in it. "But not in the way I want them to." she let's Maureen squeeze her hand, before she gets to work.
This time Babette doesn't use any magic, and she just makes the sandwich and its sides like a regular person would, like a human would. Before, she would have been able to create the sandwich and other foods from thin air, but her powers have been limited and diminished when she was banished, so this one had to be made manually. "Here it is." Babette gestures at the packed order. "A regular sandwich." "You can make me something to eat later." Maureen says, kissing Babette on the cheek. She then takes her phone and types a quick text to Gemma, telling her the food is ready for pick up.
