True. It's pretty good. The asteroids are full of root vegetables. I've been stocking up. [She hoists herself onto the counter to sit, away from any of the cooking supplies.]

[vouched]

Ah, so you're the benevolent grocery goddess? Mind pointing me in the direction of the premier gathering haunts? The mushrooms in particular are rather nice.

[ really, he's surprised to find so many recognizable vegetables in space. ] Couldn't quite place the meat, though.

[passingthrough]

I'm definitely one of them. I like to spend as little time eating the provided space food as possible. [She doesn't sound at all bothered by him using the ingredients. When she has something she really wants to save for herself or Winn she keeps it in her room, but everything else is for everyone. She definitely wants to be one of the everyones, but she's not keeping score and if something runs out then it runs out.]

It's called ung. Looks kind of like a rabbit but without the fur. The meat's tough, but not bad fried. [And hopefully slow cooked in a sauce like that it will get tender?] And I can let you know where I bought things, but if you just arrived your funds will be low.

[vouched]

Ung? Sounds like an ugly boot, not food.

[ that's what he's hoping for, yes. ]

No bartering in space? [ once he steps onto the asteroid, he'll find it's actually rather perfect for his particular skillset. but for now - ] I'll cook the meal if you'll spend the cash.

It's definitely ugly, but I wouldn't want to put my foot into it. [She smiles.]

Well, I do like being cooked for. Jarvis has been spoiling me when I crash on the Tourist.

[vouched]

Well, with a name like Jarvis what else can the poor sod do.

[ that is a butler name if he ever heard one. ]

[She smiles at that.] Just a step away from Jeeves. He's great though. Speaking of names, do you come with one?

[vouched]

Two, even. Are you Jeeves?

[passingthrough]

Kitty Pryde, but I have more than two. You?

[vouched]

...I'd stick to Jeeves if I were you.

[ you know, he's not sure if that's a stripper name, or one for an overzealous fan of the lion king. ]

Lance Hunter.

[passingthrough]

Ouch. Coming from someone with an obviously made up name that hurts.

[vouched]

I'm not the one named after an internet meme.

[ he has a perfectly respectable name, don't take out your terrible name frustrations on him, jeeves! ]

[passingthrough]

[Internet memes aren't a thing in her world and they weren't in the prison, but she dates Winn. She's heard things.] How is my name a meme?

[vouched]

Cats, pride, I'm sure there's a plethora of variations on the theme, they do share a demographic.

[ he shrugs, look he hasn't thought that far into it okay, gosh. ]

[passingthrough]

The puns are endless. The puuurfect storm. I get it. The name's real though. Kitty comes from Katherine and Pryde came from Prydeman when my grandfather immigrated.

[vouched]

And 'Kathy' or 'Kate' were just too dignified for you?

[passingthrough]

[She shrugs.] Kitty is what my parents called me. [And maybe she would have stuck by it even if it didn't include the "and now they're gone, so I'm keeping it" but it definitely makes her all the more intent to hold on to it.]

Besides, it's much more satisfying when big guys have to admit they got their ass kicked by a Kitty.

[vouched]

Fair enough.

[ he nods and covers his pot. ]

Call me in on your next ass kicking, I'll bring the popcorn equivalent.

[ actually, he'll just join in. he's itching for a fight. ]

[passingthrough]

That sounds helpful. I'll make sure you're there for that. [Looking amused.]

So what's your life like when no one is abducting you to live in a new one, Lance Hunter?
