gotta get down for a mingle

Who: The crew of the SS Heron and visitors.
Broadcast: nope.
Action: Aboard the SS Heron.
When: After returning to the ship.

[ finally back on the right ship, except the corridors are all mysteriously cold and the ship seems smaller. Thanks, Atroma. New crew, visitors, starters in comments ]

Is that what we are?

[ but the question isn't barbed. rather, she's charmed. the lone wolf has at long last adjusted back into a structure of teamwork. dependency. and when it comes to these men, she knows her trust is in good hands.

the pie crust cracks and snaps in the most delicious of ways as she sinks the knife's tip into the first cut. with precision, she twins that cut with another. ]
Be a dear, though, and grab us a plate?

[ with a deft hand (and deftness that has nothing to do with culinary capers) she slides first one slice onto one plate, and then a second onto the second. crumbs follow, but she grabs a rag and uses its tented corner to brush them into a pile and collect them into her palm. ]

It does smell damned good. [ she concedes. ] How did you come to be in possession of the recipe, hm?
mucked: (☂ talk and talk and talk)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-12-01 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And a sous-chef. [ she drapes the rag on its peg and returns to the two laid-out plates. ]

[ snark harbours itself in the back of her throat -- nothing dire, and nothing hurtful, but only the smallest knee-jerk desire to call into question the use of pastry crust above a crumble. how nationalistic of her; how defensive. she does it only to enforce the bubble around her, but she tamps down the instinct with the firm knowledge that it's a bubble she doesn't need while keeping his company.

so her fork sinks into the narrow point on her slice, and she holds a hand beneath its tines while she eats -- tidy, and appreciative. ]

Good. Nice. [ and then, as though recalling a long-learned lesson from some schoolmarm not to use the word 'nice' to describe something. how pedestrian and unhelpful. she spears another bite. ] Delicious, actually.

You missed your true calling. [ she lies; they both know what his better calling remains. ] But how are you with mince pies in place of apple?

[ 'tis almost the season, dear jim. ]
mucked: (☂ fighting the jury in my head)

Oh, scones. [ she echoes the word -- her voice replete with fresh hunger. wanting. ] You just made a bloody pie crust; scones can't be much more of a challenge by comparison.

[ her particular brand of encouragement isn't exactly encouraging. not by normal standards, at least.

except what the devil is a cupcake. ]

Mmhm. [ she cracks the curve of the piece's outermost crust with one decisive motion. ] Verging upon a demand, really.

Marmalade, especially. [ she smiles. ]

Captain. [ stiff, but playfully so. she waggles her fork in his direction. ] Do outline precisely the sort of situation where a penchant for marmalade becomes at all exploitable.

I will rough it and go bare with my baked goods if I must, you know.

[ plate pushed aside, she briskly brushes crumbs off her palms -- and wonders (briefly) how they ever got there to begin with. all for show and friendship, she offers him that hand to shake. ]

My white flag is flying, Captain.

Quite. We may need an addendum from time to time -- but... [ it takes great inner grace and far too much character to admit even this much, but she knows it's for the best. ] I've grown a lot more accustomed to you, Jim. You were such an oddity at first.
mucked: (☂ a girl who's rich in fiction)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-12-08 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing different. [ she echoes, and smiles. ] Frankly, I'm not sure which of you through me for the largest loop.

[ you, or the winter soldier. ]
