[He'll just placidly follow her. He is not gonna get into a fight about this, nooope ]

If that is what you wish.

[princessia]

[ She had a feeling talking wasn't going to do much to change her mind, which is why she's deciding to take action.

Once they reach the kitchen, she immediately grabs the nearest chair for her to reach any cupboards that may be too high for her to reach. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He'll just stand around, his arms folded and looking awkward. He doesn't know how much food is enough even if he was in charge of it. He can get by on so little, after all. Feeding a whole crew? It's definitely out of his expertise, ]

[princessia]

[ She's makes a face at the food machine that dispenses the protein gel, then starts digging through the cupboards. Not just checking the food, but she's inspecting if any of the kitchenware is in good shape.

She wonders if she also needs to remind Fenris to eat, much like she did with Cullen. Even if she's checking, she may have already reached the verdict of helping the ship. Or probably learning to cook... ]

Fenris, do you remember to eat your meals?

[wolfuncaged]

Of course I do. I'm unlikely to forget that.

[He may not eat MUCH, but his torture at the hands of Hadriana has taught him that meal times are precious and he will not be denied them, regardless of how much or little he eats at them. It's kind of a spite thing.

...It's absolutely a spite thing. ]

[princessia]

...I see.

[ Fenris looks a bit... skinny to her in appearance. She knows he's tough too, having seen him punch the thugs leering at her way back at the desert planet.

She's keeping the skinny comment to herself. She's lucky that she doesn't have Teepo with her to blurt out her thoughts. ]

You need to keep more around here besides the protein gel.

[wolfuncaged]

[It's a very good job, or she'd be on the receiving end of one of his I WAS A SLAAAAAVE speeches. He shrugs in response to the chide.]

As I said, Varric is the one to speak to of such things.

[princessia]

...Fine, I'll ask him.

[ She might sound confident and calm around Fenris now, but talking to Varric, who she'd never spoken to before, might feel a little awkward. She has to try, since she doesn't think she's going to sway Fenris into keeping track of supplies.

Taking a step back away from the cupboards, it appears she's done with mini-inspection for now. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[She absolutely will not. Besides, having a good relationship with Varric is healthy for everyone, Fenris is sure of that much. He folds his arms, his tone a little amused as she finishes her inspection. ]

Are you satisfied?

[princessia]

I'm satisfied.

[ For now, Uncle Fenris! Hopefully her future visits to the Tourist will just involve her dumping more gifts on him and no more inspections. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He honestly wouldn't be surprised. He huffs in amusement. So serious, kiddo. So serious. ]

That is a relief to hear.

[princessia]

[ Come on, she's trying to practice how to be a little grown up! Perhaps she notices the amusement. Maybe. Is he amused? Does she seem funny? She can't tell actually. But it's making her a little flustered. ]

...

What?

[ It sounds more like asking "is something funny?" ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He raises his hands in mock surrender. ]

Nothing, nothing at all. You seem to have taken this as a matter of great importance. Thank you for caring.

[He doesn't make an effort to save his faux pas with most people, lucky her. ]

[princessia]

[ Elize stares at him for a moment, like she's trying to decide to believe it's really "nothing" or not. ]

Well, you're welcome. That's because we're friends.

[ She sticks her nose up in the air, haughtily. Her tone sounds so serious...! BUt no, really, it's obvious she still looks a bit flustered. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[She's too precious for this world, really. But people being so determined to have his friendship is always enough to give him pause. He'll never be used to it.]

Of course we are, and it honestly does mean a lot.

[princessia]

[ Elize stops with her smug expression, then looks directly back at him with a fond smile. She nods her head, as if to quietly say that she knows and that she's happy about it.

She walks past him to leave the kitchen. When she makes a turn into the hallway, she backtracks to stick her head back in. ]

I'm heading back to my ship now. I'll come visit again next time, 'kay?

[ And she'll take good care of him...! ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He'll offer her a smile, an inclines his head in farewell. ]

Certainly, come by any time you wish. I will see you soon, I hope.
