[Voice; Action to Spades and Bloody Roses, sometime before the battle]

[song_princess]

[Hello Spades and Bloody Roses! This here be one very proud and happy Heron Princess! Despite the sounds of Zeff grumping and yelling in the background, Leanne is happily chirping and singing. This goes on for a few more moments before Leanne turns to the journal.]

Supper is ready! I made it myself with Chef Zeff's guidance so I hope that everyone likes it. [So proud of herself you have no idea, Spades. So freakin proud as she goes now to close her journal and sets the tables.]


[ooc; Leanne went to Zeff for some cooking lessons and this is the result of the first lesson. Fear for your stomachs, Spades and Bloody Roses. Just about all of the food is overcooked with some other touches that Leanne added to almost each dish as Zeff midway through the lesson had to deal with his Phantom Pain issue. Pray for the mercy for your stomachs as Zeff will make sure that all of it will be eaten.]

[Well, on the positive side, she hadn't nearly burned the galley down like other people on this ship. Korra. Still, every last bite was going to be eaten. Yes, it was overcooked and unappetizing and would probably give quite a few stomach aches, but it was still edible and, therefore, was not going to be wasted if he had any say in the matter.]

[At least it was overcooked rather than undercooked. That would've made everybody save those whose bodies were designed to eat raw food sick.]

[Hey now, Leanne will never be that bad in the kitchen. Leanne forever beams towards Zeff, looking ever so proud of herself for cooking such fine "dishes"!]

Thank you again, Chef!

[redfootzeff]

[He nods gravely, wondering just how many people are going to want to kill him for this. Well, let them try. It wasn't like he wouldn't be able to come back if what he'd heard about this place was true.]

In the future we'll have to schedule lessons for when my leg isn't acting up.

[hiken]

[There Ace was, seated at the table with a grin, happily slamming food into his face at an inhuman pace.

WHAT, WHY WAS EVERYONE HESITATING?]

Action;

[song_princess]

[YAY! Someone that is clearly enjoying her cooking! Leanne goes to beam as she sets another plate down near Ace.]

Want anything to drink, Captain?

Action;

[hiken]

[Ace beat his chest so some more of his wide, open-mouthed bites could get down. He laughed, raising his hand with a grin.]

Sure! Got any tea brewin?

Action;

[song_princess]

[Leanne laughs at the sight and places a hand on his shoulder.]

Slow down or else you will start choking. [Is very much spoken in a mirthful and chiding tone of voice.]

I am sure that I have some somewhere.

Action

[kingkilvas]

[Naesala shows up shortly after she closes her journal, while she's setting the table. Very much against his better judgement. He...he stays in the doorway.]

You, er... You cooked for the crew, Leanne?

Action

[song_princess]

[Leanne blinks and perks up mid-setting one of her 'dishes' down.]

Yes I did! [Setting it down fully now, she trots over to Naesala to attempt to grab one of his hands to try and drag him over to the table.]

Come and try it! Chef Zeff helped me make it!

[kingkilvas]

[Nervous...chuckling... He stays firmly rooted in place, acting nonchalant about it.]

Uh-huh. And the beorc are going to eat it? [clears throat] This meal. That you cooked.

[song_princess]

[Oh come on and try it! She is pouting up at him now as he refuses to budge.]

The beorcs and you as well. I worked very hard on it.

[donthithimintheballs]

[What? When the Princess said she was cooking, he wouldn't insult her by not trying it. When he gets there though, his brow raises. The smell of burnt food is clear. Very clear. She must have tried her hardest to make it for them all, but it all smelled pretty.... bad.]

[Still, he moved to gather a plate of food. He'd eaten worse, really. And he was selective. Thankfully his superior nose was able to figure out a few things here and there. Mostly, he'd eat things he recognized, chewing them a bit more, and watching the others who did sit and try to eat.]

[It amused him, the looks or comments others had. He sat silent, taking in others reactions, as he chewed on a rather tough piece of... well, he wasn't sure. Again, he'd eaten worse.]

[just because]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie's just picked up a plate, looking quite excited to try Leanne's cooking. She looks across the room and sees Logan sitting, so she heads on over. With a smile she plonks herself down right next to him*

Hey Logan! Isn't this a cute thing for Leanne to do for us all?

[!!! yay!]

[donthithimintheballs]

[He had just taken a bite of, he was pretty sure this was a form of meat? maybe a root. He's not sure, but he didn't really care either. Chewing on it as the girl plonked down beside him, he gave a nod.]

Selphie. [a nod of his head and he breaks a burnt bit of food off to chew on with out it hanging out of his mouth] Yeah. The little princess is trying hard. Careful though.

[grizzly_tea]

Lady Leanne, was it not? It's fascinating to know that a lady of your station has taken up cooking, but I can't say I disapprove. It's a useful skill for any person to have, nobility or not.

How have you done with your first attempt?

Re: [voice]

[song_princess]

Yes it is my lady. (Okay, trying to piece together who this is.)

Oh? How is it fascinating? I wouldn't be a proper queen or princess if I cannot handle even the most simpliest of skills. Aye, that I agree on....

(She blinks and goes to look over towards the groaning crewmates.)

I think.... Only a couple of them like it.

[voice]

[grizzly_tea]

[Maribelle of course is oblivious to the fact that Leanne doesn't remember her all that well.]

Perhaps, but many nobles that I know of never learn such skills, assuming that they need not ever use them. It shows that you at the very least have a sense of drive and duty, and that you are more worthy of your station than others who are simply born to theirs.

[Maribelle hears the groans in the background, and can't help but pity the poor souls, wincing.]

Ah... You remind me much of Lady Lissa of Ylisse, my closest friend and companion. She too wished to try her hand at cooking with... less than optimal results. Suffice to say, despite my devotion to her and her family, I am not so keen on repeating the experience.

[In other words... staaaay away from her with your cooking Leanne.]

action

[hoodwinking]

[Uh. Is this food supposed to look like this.....]

How... how nice of you, but I may have already eaten earlier...

Re: action

[song_princess]

(Of course its suppose to look like this! Leanne perks up at the sight of the new face and happily trots over to her.)

Perhaps you can just have a half of a plate? (Gonna try and urge this new face in where not only her but Zeff can make her eat some of this...... 'food')

action

[hoodwinking]

[The old man's bothering her a great deal, definitely. Plus, it wasn't as if Leanne did anything bad... besides cook horribly. What to do...]

Half... ah, maybe a bite? Would that be okay?

[voice]

[thatched]

Do I dare eat?

[but he's teasing.]

What is it?

[voice]

[song_princess]

[Oh come on now! Her cooking isn't that bad!]

Thatch! You should now for asking that.

Meat and some sauces and... Vegetables and bread.... I think.

[voice]

[thatched]

I shall and enjoy it, ma petite croissant. Should I swing over now or wait until the Sun has had her fill?

[Action]

[feetarestrange]

[A mermaid's gotta eat, and at the very least, Nami appreciates all the effort. Although as for the way it looks and smells... well.]

Is this your first time cooking?

[It's the thought that counts. Right?]

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

The effort is appreciated, but perhaps next time. You're very kind to have offered!

[Grell doesn't eat much, and she isn't about to eat food from someone she doesn't know.

Unless they're handsome.]
