Nope.

[ She's looking at him with total wonder in her eyes. ]

I ain't ever heard of a combination like that.

[aubins]

[ wow, she of simple pleasures. ]

It's something I used to have back at the academy. Probably the most "breakfast" like thing I can think of though, so we'll see how it goes down.

[ because i actually have no idea how the "scrambled eggs with vegetables" is made, i will say he is crisping the chickpeas and grilling some tomatoes. also, crackin' some eggies. ]

So, why the insistence on me cooking for you anyway? [ he can maybe guess, but better to hear directly than assume. ]

[fluffier]

Really? I ain't ever had anything like that for breakfast.

[ She leans over the island to peer at him, curious over what he's making. ]

Normally we have some grilled fish 'n' rice. But on the ship sometimes we have eggs and bread so I guess this is like that. [ Anyway, ] Ain't it nice to have someone make you a meal?

But also, I gotta be gluttonous! So whatever yer makin', better make double.

[aubins]

Eggs work for breakfast. The rest of it... well. It adds to it.

[ hello. ]

It is pretty nice, huh? Especially if it's a surprise. [ he cracks the eggs into a bowl and mixes them up with seasonings. delicious. ] Isn't sitting around waiting on someone to cook you a whole breakfast kind of gluttonous in and of itself? I'd say you're doing a great job.

[fluffier]

[ It starts to smell lovely when he adds the seasonings, and she can feel her mouth begin to water. ]

Yep, but Sloth said I have to eat a lot for it to count. Maybe ya should make some hot cakes too.

[ pwease ]

[aubins]

[ .......



siiiiigh. ]

Do you get penalised for helping get ingredients out?

[fluffier]

[ She thinks about it. ]

I guess not, as long as yer doin' most of the work and I'm doin' most of the eatin'. What do ya need?

[aubins]

Butter, milk, eggs and flour. More eggs, I only got what I needed for the first dish.

[fluffier]

[ The thought of pancakes is enough to motivate her, and she happily hums to herself as she rummages through the cupboards to grab the flour before turning to fridge for the rest.

Except, when Yuri finds the ingredients deposited for his convenience there is also... mackerel. ]

[aubins]

[ good, well. he can finish these vegetables while yuel gets all the pancake stuff out. teamwork.

or, y'know. he was feeling positive about the teamwork until he turned around and saw mackerel in the pile of ingredients too. he looks at the fish. and then he looks back at yuel.





please explain mackerel. ]

[fluffier]

[ She just makes Big Pleading Eyes at him. ]

It reminds me of home. I'll owe ya big time! Ya just gotta grill it a little.

[aubins]

[ ........



he picks up a kitchen towel


and whaps yuel in the face with it. ]

Kitchen’s closed. No more orders after that one.

[fluffier]

Owww.

[ She holds her nose, duly admonished. ]

Okay... I promise.

[aubins]

[ humph. ]

Good.

Get me a pan, will you? Shallow one, I can fry it in that. [ she might not be able to cook the dishes but she can be his appliance gatherer. ]

[fluffier]

[ She salutes him. ]

Aye, aye, capt'n!

[ Before dutifully rummaging around the space to find a pan for him. Once she drops that off for him, she heads over to the vending machine to order a glass of refreshing orange juice that she also offers him. ]

A drink fer ya, capt'n.

[aubins]

[ while she is on the juice and pan duty, he'll dish up the eggs and veggies, and dig out a bowl for the pancake mix. pancakes are breakfast dessert. ]

And dish one for you.

[ swapsies? ]

[fluffier]

Wooooh. This looks incredible!

[ She happily takes the plate to the table, digging in and letting a happy shiver run down her spine at the flavour. ]

This is amazin'! You really know what yer doin'!

[aubins]

[ at least he has appreciative clientele. ]

No one else would cook for me if I didn't do it. Or, no one else I'd trust.

[ he will make the mackeral next. that can be sizzling away while he mixes up the pancake ingredients. who said men can't multitask? ]

[fluffier]

[ She looks at him curiously, with egg-stuffed cheeks. ]

Yer parents don't cook for ya?

[aubins]

Haven't seen my mom in a while. She'd cook for me, sure, if I was there. But I can't really keep running back home whenever I want someone to make food for me.

[fluffier]

[ there's a pause as yuel stuffs her face ]

Oh, are you an adventurer too? I'm lucky there are plenty of other people on my ship who can cook. Yer the only one outta your crew that can?

[aubins]

Not exactly.

[ thank god pancakes don't take long to mix up, because fish doesn't take long to grill either. ]

I was ... working, I guess you could say. And then I was enrolled at a military academy for a while.

[fluffier]

Oh really? [ Good thing, Yuri, because Yuel is putting away these eggs like she's never had food before. ] Yer school didn't give ya food?

[aubins]

Of course they do. But before I joined the academy no one else was going to make sure I was fed. [ for the most part.



one mackerel incoming, bottomless pit. ]

[fluffier]

[ She's not quite done with the omelette, but that doesn't mean she can't eat the mackerel with one hand and the eggs with another.

She's really going to have to work out after this. ]

Oh, 'cause ya were workin'? I was travellin' on my own fer a while too, but I only learned how to make food at the campfire...
