[ Action - Day of the Contest! ]

[ Their hosts were a generous folk, and given the chance to try new foods crafted from their own local ingredients, well, their curiosity was more that piqued. Tables had been set up, with plenty of cushions to go around, and the small restaurant had given over its kitchen and cooking materials to Kirk and Misty. Everyone was welcome to come and go as they pleased (the food was free and the drinks were set at a discounted price for the event from the restaurant itself), but before leaving were requested to make their selection on who had served the better meal by placing slips of colored paper paper into a box - Red for Kirk and Blue for Misty. At one point there was even a small group of musicians adding atmosphere and enough room to dance near the back of the out door space.

The winner would be announced at the end of the day, with the paper slips counted by one of their new alien friends - to keep things proper and fair, of course. ]

_{[ ooc: As it says in the header, this is a mingle! So feel free to put up your own starters, etc. There will be a special comments section for casting your vote for whom you want to win this contest - just simply put Misty or Kirk in the header (and maybe a cheeky comment if your character is one to write those). Have fun! ]}

[Fenris is here partly out of emotional support, but also partly out of genuine curiosity. He doesn't see Kirk cook much, and since they got Jarvis, it's been even less so. A small part of him is hanging around too in case their captain sets something on fire and they need to beat a hasty retreat. It's not that he doesn't trust you, Kirk, but as first mate he feels it's his duty to book his captain out of there in case he burns the kitchen down.

He might eat food that's put in front of him, but he's no connoisseur. Plus he's rather biased, all things considered. Still, he watches Kirk with some level of amusement. ]

At least you're enjoying yourself.

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ He was not nearly at Jarvis' level, it was true. His specialty was things like these - pancakes, sausages, ham, bacon, eggs. Comfort breakfast foods. He had learned to make them early on as a child, and they had always brought a certain quiet peace to him. He could cook other things too, of course, but he had always had a special like for breakfast, so when challenged to a battle of foods he naturally chose his first love.

He approves of your loyalty, Fenris. It's very sweet. He flipped a pancake with more flare than skill, chuckling. ]</sub>

I'll have a short stack ready for you in a second. Trust me, looks aren't everything in food.

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris only has loyalty for those who earned it, good job, Kirk. The elf makes a soft, amused sound, watching.]

True, but I doubt I have a refined enough palette to honestly notice.

[Food is food. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He will be sure to make it as one of his lifetime achievements on his resume. ]}

But you can tell what's good and not. That's good enough for me.

_{[ He put down a plate and slid on three pancakes and some sausage, holding it out to Fenris. ]}

You can put syrup on it or some fruit, or both. Whatever suits your fancy.

[wolfuncaged]

...Yes, I can do that much.

[He considers this, before putting some syrup on the pancakes. He cuts them up and pops it into his mouth, chewing thoughtfully. Then, silently (because he's just going to continue eating if you don't mind him) he'll raise a single thumb. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk watches him while he keeps an eye on the next stack, an expectant air radiating off him as he leaned slightly forward to watch him. His face practically burst when Fenris gave him the thumbs up, rocking back on his heels with a pleased hum. ]}

Put some some of the little orange fruits on it. They taste kind of like blueberries.

[wolfuncaged]

[The elf gives a please hum, honestly glad to see Kirk look so happy. He'll do as suggested, giving it a try. ]

Hmm. Those are quite pleasant. Are you certain you're not after Jarvis' job?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Simple things like this brought him pleasure. They always had. These moments of seeing his friends, his family, happy and knowing he had brought it about. This was what family was supposed to do, after all, and for just a little bit they could forget the horrors of the attacks and their situation as a whole. It was a bandaid, true, a simply balm to numb the pain. But that was what a body needed sometimes, and he was glad to provide it. ]}

Hah, I am certain. This is really the only thing I'm extremely good at cooking myself. I can manage a few other things, but this has always been my speciality such as it is.

[wolfuncaged]

[It really was nice. It reminded him of spending evenings in Aveline and Donnic's home, feeling part of a family- feeling content and safe. It was very pleasant. He chuckles softly. ]

Then I suggest you at least occasionally battle him for control of the breakfast table. I for one would find it a fascinating watch.

[He's not actually sure which one of them would win that fight. ]

[universal_charm]

If you were our previous captain, you would be selling tickets to that.

_{[ The image even made him laugh - a much grander affair than this current little set up, and Jarvis, he suspected, would be particularly cut throat. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[He huffs softly.]

Not just tickets- but laundered tickets. Double booked and everything.

[universal_charm]

Well naturally. I wouldn't expect him to come out of it with less than a 60% profit margin.

[wolfuncaged]

Of course! Anything else simply wouldn't do.

[universal_charm]

Well, at least he can't say we didn't learn anything from him, right?

[wolfuncaged]

I wouldn't dare say otherwise.

[universal_charm]

Make sure you eat your fill. I have plenty of batter where that came from.
