[Keith looked doubtful at first because, really? That sounded kind of gross to him. For a moment, he kind of wished he had Hunk to back him up on this on whether it was good or not. Trusting a talking candlestick was really pushing the edges of his comfort zone.]

Okay. Sounds a little unhealthy, but I suppose I could give it a try.

[He'd tried weirder and less "earthy" things recently. So, why not?]

[musicalhost]

I could show you a bit, if you ever want.

And, [hmm] I suppose it would still be mok'bara. Some of the gymnastic Emony did give me headaches.

[padadin]

[And Keith putting his trust in his hands means a lot to Shiro, seeing that grin only causing to widen his own. Gosh, getting to casually hang out with Keith again is so great. Are viewers watching this? Just them being pilots nerds? Because for him, it's such an amazing thing to live through.]

In the water or in space? I think we can do whatever we want in space as long as we don't leave the fleet. In the water, I'm not sure. It may disturb some o the creatures living there.

[touchallthebooks]

[Okay Khadgar has seen plenty of items enchanted before, completing tasks to save mages times and all, but a walking talking candelabra? Setting the table? He's seen strange things but this takes the cake and the young mage has to stop for a moment, mouth open and gawking, and stare. Before brushing a hand through his hair.

He'd just come in here to grab a sandwich before going back to reading. That's all he wanted. As the saying went though: "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back." Khadgar is that cat.]

Ah.... yeah, sure. Did you need a hand?

[KHADGAR NO]

[monolike]

Yes. [Somebody is a DANG TATTLETALE.] I guess Eizen or Zaveid warned you about me already? [Because he can't think of any other reason they'd tell her about him except to let her know that hahaha two people who are in roles usually reserved for mortal enemies now have to coexist in the same Fleet.]

[searingedgelord]

Both of them mentioned you.

[Though only Eizen mentioned his name. Neither of them went into much detail.]

Eizen asked me to play nice.

[Her tone is a little bored, but she honestly doesn't seem that bothered.]

[morphitudinous]

...I might be a little better at that. There's a certain rhythm that I'm finally starting to learn.

I'll look forward to it!

[morphitudinous]

No kidding. I'm surprisingly used to the atmospheric controls already, but nothing can replace a real planetary atmosphere and open space.

Thanks.

[morphitudinous]

The shrines of the gods, maybe? They're usually safe, and they might give us important clues.

My only worry is not knowing the proper code of conduct.

[morphitudinous]

I think I'd like that.

And...actually, I'm not familiar with the term?

[monolike]

[That- is an honest surprise, and it shows on his face. Eizen did? And he asked her to-] 'Play nice?' You mean- As in with me, or he meant the whole Fleet...?

[Because if she promised Eizen she wouldn't cause trouble in the Fleet, then there go half of Sorey's reservations about this entire mess.]

[musicalhost]

Klingonese is a little strange but it's a pretty decent meditative and defensive technique. We'd have to do hand-to-hand, of course. I doubt anyone here has a bat'leth or mek'leth.

[searingedgelord]

[She raises an eyebrow at that. Her reputation must have endured well into the future, if he's worried about the entire Fleet.]

Just you.

[luxoraculi]

[ Fortunately for Ignis, it's rare that she ever lets anyone really know just how she's feeling. Which is a good thing for her, too, because as amusing as this is she really doesn't want him to be annoyed. She peers at the items in question, but then he has to go and say that and he'll never realize just how hard it is to not start giggling.

She's good, though, and keeps it in and to herself. ]

Well, I'm sure that your crew mates will not complain. Noctis tells me that at home you are practically a master chef. I've all the faith in the world that you will be able to put together something that you can be proud of.

[scanninggaydis]

Oh, Earth. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'll find someone who could tell you, in that case. A surprising number of people seem to be taken from there.

[Notably, Felix doesn't offer up any information on US history...and the way he's talking doesn't sound like he's part of that "number".]

[tempredmental]

[Keith considered it, definitely weighing the options.]

What about just in the atmosphere? There's gotta be a clear space with no traffic. We won't be getting too far from the fleet, and we won't be bothering any of the water life below.

[Best of both worlds?]

[servantnotserving]

[KHADGAR THAT'S RACIST.

Nah, it's cool. Lumiére beams up happily, nodding enthusiastically.]

If you do not mind, monsieur! I could use some help getting the plates in place.

[servantnotserving]

[Why would anyone want to eat anything healthy? You're supposed to gorge yourself when you eat.

...At least when Lumiére comes from, anyway. ]

It will be delicious, my friend. [He starts picking up protein gels, squinting at the words on them.]

Of course, you will have to tell me if it is not, I can't taste test it for you I'm afraid.

A.

[runawayprince]

[If there was one thing to make Noctis glad to be here, it was seeing Ignis was safe.]

Hey- don't worry about it, I'm sure if anyone can come up with something it's you. If you want, I can taste test.

[Smiling a bit, Noctis claps Ignis on the shoulder.]

What is it anyway?

[He looks at the blocks of... whatever the hell they are... and frowns a bit. It didn't look like food, so maybe he was overestimating Ignis a little bit in this case.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith watched him with the gels... which reminded him really of just Altean food goo... and frowned a bit.]

Wait... you can't eat?

[Because, what else would that mean, right? Talking candlestick... probably didn't have a stomach... couldn't taste it... so...

That was kind of...

Well, Keith was pretty sure Hunk would be really sad for this guy.]

[maledictus_semper]

Of course. We barely know one another due to our lack of encounters with one another. Pity, really. We could learn to get on so well with one another. Who knows? Maybe this space environment will allow us to indulge in such a thing.

[He's wanting to get to know Ignis. Why not? Maybe the boy could lead him to Noctis.]

Not quite home cuisine I know. How do people put up with such dull food?

[servantnotserving]

[Lumiére lets out a forlorn sigh, shaking his 'head'. ]

Alas, I cannot. I couldn't even taste it if I could anyway. No taste buds. It has put a real dampener on my cooking.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

Your welcome.

If you think of any other questions, I can try to answer them.

[She then adds with a more wry note.]

And be careful what buttons you go about pressing on the ships.

I need more icons or keywords...

[nonightdriving]

[Of course Ignis was safe. And if a time ever arose that the opposite was true, it would be in service of Noctis, his oldest friend. He would be fulfilling his duty. Nonetheless, the presence of his friend is welcome.]


I've made meals out of gashyl greens that you and even Prompto enjoyed.

[He glares at the offending blocks once more.]

Supposedly, blocks of protein, but they smell worse than the greens. In fact, having some might actually make them worth experimenting with. Or spices.

[Something semi-familiar would help a great deal.]

[runawayprince]

[Noctis pulls a face at the mention of the Gysahl greens. Regardless of enjoyment - they were still a vegetable type... thing. And he hated them even if he enjoyed Ignis' cooking.]

So, maybe if you drown it in enough flavor it won't taste half bad? I'm willing to try it.

[He could do with some of Ignis' cooking, really. It was a welcome thing. The only thing he won't talk to Ignis about is events of the future. For now, at least. It seems they're from different points in time, that he can tell. The physical difference is welcome. An uninjured Ignis is welcome.]
