Arrakis - Sietch Tabr - Wednesday Morning & Afternoon

[atreideslioness]

It was around dawn when the scent of food began wafting up from the kitchens. Fresh baked bread, coffee, and the lilting tones of Fremen chattering in a mixture of Galach and Chakobsa as they went about their lives.

If they were a bit more outgoing and less-wary of the visitors than they had been the day before, well, going out into the desert to meet with Shai-Hulud had shown a certain daring and respect, and those were two traits that the Fremen held very dear.

The portal would arrive to pick them all up around three, but until then, the visitors from Fandom had the run of Tabr.

Although it still didn't make you safe from the Aunties.

That really didn't help with the giggles, but eventually she swallowed them. "It's just kind of like hearing --" Ohhh, man, she should not have reached for a comparision, because it was a zombie one that came floating up at her. "--Captain Algren singing Thriller. Wow, do I wish I didn't remember that."

"Captain Algren is a honorable man," Arthur said, fixing her with a look. "If he's gone and done something ridiculous..." Like with the gremlin bite and the crocodiles, "You may owe him some mercy."

Especially since she wasn't 'one of the guys', so to speak.

Francine waved a hand. Thankfully the fruit-holding one. "This was during the --" Eww. "--zombie thing. I just wish I didn't remember it because I kind of wish I didn't remember any of that."

"You recuperated well," Arthur offered her, graciously. Yes, more longing glances towards the bread.

Re: The Kitchens

Francine's trademark obliviousness did not extend to food; she cut off another slice and passed it - and the dish of jam - his way. "Nothing's falling off anymore, if that's what you mean." She laughed. "Anyway it's just weird to hear you use modern slang; I guess it means the culture shock class was a good idea, though."

Re: The Kitchens

[bitchprince]

"I can say what I want," Arthur retorted, idly, snagging the bread and dunking it in a rather egregious amount of jam.

God help them all if he ever caught on to modern insults beyond what Katchoo spouted on the radio.

"Have you seen Merlin at all?"

"Tall skinny guy, big ears, adorable smile, kind of pale?" Apparently something about Arthur brought out the five year old in her at times. Imagine that. "Not this morning."

Re: The Kitchens

[bitchprince]

"If you see him before I do, tell him to see me," Arthur said, waving the hand that wasn't busy stuffing his face at her.

Re: The Kitchens

[thatsamilkshake]

"Okay," Francine agreed, resisting - very, very hard - the urge to wipe jam from his nose. He'd figure it out.

Re: The Kitchens

[bitchprince]

Technically speaking, Arthur had servants for that kind of thing.

Having finished off the bread, he nodded. "Good."

Re: The Kitchens

[thatsamilkshake]

...He'd figure it out eventually. Right?
