[Edna walks into the kitchen and pauses, wrinkling her pert nose up in disgust.]

Look, I might not be a savant on what humans eat, but I think if you feed that to the others on this ship, I'll have to cast healing artes so they don't die.

[Please, it smells so bad. How can you call that food?]

[liberame]

[Nia just blinks and cocks her head to one side with a genuine innocence that makes her seem somehow younger.]

I will admit I'm not familiar with some of the food this place keeps stocked, but I'm sure it can't be that bad. I was head chef of Dai-Gunzan and never had any complaints about the food.

[She smiles, taking a ladle of some kind of stew she was cooking and offers it to Edna.]

Here, try some!

[brothersboots]

[Edna's not buying it. There's poison in that pot, and she can smell it.]

Listen here. That smells noxious. And I'm sure it tastes worse. You might fool others with that innocent act, but I prefected that millennia ago.

[When she is offered the ladle of "food", Edna backs up with a scowl.]

Where's Kate? Where's the cook that normally is in this kitchen?

[liberame]

[Nia blinks before bringing the ladle to her lips and sipping on it.]

...It tastes fine to me. Are you sure you don't want any?

[She replaces the ladle in the stew before turning down the burner so that it comes to a slow bubble.]

Kate? There was nobody here, but since it was getting to be about time for a meal I thought maybe I could help out.

[brothersboots]

You! What's your augment?

[That's your name now, Nia, "You".]

[liberame]

[Edna is reminding her quite a bit of how Kittan was when they first met. As such she just smiles.]

Hm? I'm a pilot.

[brothersboots]

Pilots are not cooks. Get. Out. Of. This. Kitchen.

[She might be all of four-foot-six, but she is strong enough and adamant enough to prove her point.

In fact, she takes her parasol and holds it in the girl's face.]

Now.

[liberame]

[The orders and parasol don't seem to phase Nia. She just places a hand on the parasol to move the point away from her face.]

The stew is almost finished. But I refuse to let anyone go hungry.

[Nia that's not the point...]

[brothersboots]

[The attempt to thwart Edna's discipline only irritates her more and she jabs the girl in the side, a little rougher than she does Sorey.]

You'll be sending them all to the sick bay if they eat that crap.
