kitchen nightmares (open, cooking)

[MirrorEdge]

There was probably a reason many in most clans, at least, that she knew of, didn't excel in cooking, and Thea was beginning to figure out exactly why as she struggled with the sharp knife, chopping off bits of chicken next to a few boiling pots, one with rice, another with black beans, and even a few eggs cooking along with various other ingredients that usually had no place with each other. One might think this was a bit of a bizarre mix, but Thea had a bit of experience, at least, with this dish. Not the chicken part, though. She figured it'd taste interesting with chicken in it.

This was a part of the whole plan to earn their trust, even if Thea refused to admit Luca had looked a bit pathetic sitting there shivering, like some puppy left out in the snow.

This required much of her attention, as it seemed as soon as she started stirring something, something else would start burning, and Thea had to be quick to deal with it or risked charred food, and had plenty of close calls.

What was lumped in the large bowl at the end looked anything but appetizing, to some, rice topped with black beans and eggs, corn, chunks of chicken, onions and a few peppers mixed in as well, but the radiant grin that Thea gave it probably made others believe she thought it was the best damn dish in the history of cooking, and began to wave random people over as they left the ship, even dragging a few NPCs over in an attempt to make them try it. "Hey, guys! I know it doesn't look appetizing, but still, it's kinda nice to have since it's getting a bit chillier, and it's full of protein, and kind a big thank you for letting me stay! It's not exactly perfect, though." Despite the, you know, reasons I was exiled in the first place. She chose not to add that part on, figuring it best not to ruin the moment.
