[As if answering a call from above, there's a soft shhhhhht sound as a clipboard slides across the floor and comes to a stop at Hans' feet. It's the paperwork for an augment switch to cook, all written out and ready. It just needs Hans' signature.

Sokka peers around the door and offers a wide grin and a double thumbs up before walking away.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, HANS. ]

[admirably]

[ ...Dear god what has he done.

He stoops to pick up the clipboard, a weary grin aimed at Allen. Him, on the level of a kitchen servant? The fact that he's actually considering it is ludicrous. He's more distraught about this food situation than he thought.

Tucking the clipboard under his arm: ] Well, it's certainly no secret what our captain's feelings are on the matter. I'd make a terrible cook, though. I've no experience in the kitchen, you see.

[He raises an eyebrow as he sees Sokka just POP up like that. But really when you've been working directly under the guy for over a year...it's hard to get that shocked by his weird antics]

...That's just uncanny.

[save_the_souls]

[Right then. Time to sweep the ship rooms for Sokka-installed cameras again, just in case. He'll turn back and smile at Hans]

Ah, that's understandable- you don't strike me as much of the cook. [Too gentlemanly and fancy walk. Upper class, probably] Don't worry about it too much, Sokka has those forms filled out for everyone, just in case.

[admirably]

[ If he can't bring himself to take up the lowly mantle of a cook - and what does it say about how desperate he is if he does - maybe he can use his persuasive skills to convince someone else to.

The question is who, though? ]

No one else on the crew has been quite desperate enough to make the switch, hm?

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a small laugh]

Not so far. I think they either can't cook or don't want to give up their other positions.

But we have more room on the ship, so maybe we'll find a cook eventually.

[admirably]

One can only hope. [ Speaking of more room... ] We have some new passengers joining us, don't we?

[save_the_souls]

Mm. [he gives a nod] Bran's older brother and sister are transferring to our ship, so they can all be together.

[admirably]

[ A warm smile. ] Ah, a family gathering! I'm sure he must be looking forward to that.

[save_the_souls]

I'm sure he is!

I'm a little envious, I'll admit. I'm an only child, so I don't really have anything like a sibling bond. [Sure, he had friends he'd consider close enough to be siblings, but....it wasn't QUITE the same, and he knew it.]

[admirably]

[ Hm. Hans has often wondered what it'd be like to be an only child: wondered and dreamed and longed for it to be so. ]

I can only imagine what that would be like. Did I tell you I'm the youngest of thirteen sons to my parents?

[save_the_souls]

Eh? Really?

[That's surprising]

That's a lot...how do you remember all their names?

[admirably]

[ He chuckles. ] It's hard to forget when they're always giving you trouble. Brothers will be brothers.

[save_the_souls]

Ha...that doesn't sound very nice of them.

[admirably]

[ It wasn't.

A smile slightly strained: ] It was just their way of showing affection, I think. I do miss them - though being up here has been a slight reprieve from their teasing, I admit.

[save_the_souls]

[ Affection is the way you show affection, he thinks to himself. But Allen was an only child, so it was possible he just didn't understand, he reasons. ]

Ah, I can imagine it would be a reprieve. We would have to buy a lot of crew capacity upgrades if they came.

[admirably]

[ He can imagine few things worse than any of his brothers showing up here. ]

Quite so. They'd be better served taking an entire ship for themselves.
