You shake your head. โNo. I left it behind.โ
He pauses. For a moment, you think he might turn you away. But then he smilesโwarm, wide, and just a little bit proud.
โWell, thatโs alright,โ he says. โMost everyone doesn't bring the spoon. But you brought yourself. And that counts for a lot.โ He waves you forward. โCome on. The potluckโs already started.โ
๐งบ The Potluck
You follow the winding path through the lupins and sea grass until you reach the main clearing. Long tables stretch beneath strings of glowing lanterns. Dishes from every province and territory steam and shimmer in the golden light. Thereโs fiddle music in the air, laughter on the breeze, and the unmistakable sound of someone trying to juggle Nanaimo bars.
You find your place at the table. You unpack your pouch:
โ Nanaimo Bars (Rolling Edition)
โ Butter Tarts
โ Bannock Bread
โ Tourtiรจre (Solstice-Fried Edition)
โ Poutine #47 โ Spiritual Grade
โ Peameal Bacon (Royal Exchange Edition)
โ Landmark Token โ Chรขteau Frontenac
The crowd cheers as you place your offerings down. Someone hands you a plate. Someone else hands you a fork. A goose honks in approval. You eat. You share. You laugh.
And when the sun sets over the sea, painting the cliffs in hues of fire and honey, you feel it in your bones. You didnโt need the spoon to belong. You brought what mattered.
โ You completed the quest. โ You joined the potluck. โ You are not a Founder. โ You are a Guest of Honour.
And sometimes, thatโs more than enough.
