Thanks. [ an honest to god smile, easy and grateful - nothing settles the soul like food. no space for table manners, John dives straight in with fingers and a hearty chomp... and groans out appreciation. polite enough, at least, to swallow before he speaks. ] God, that's good.
Do you need a moment alone with that? [ dutch's tone is thoroughly amused, though not mocking because of it, her grin tinged with warmth.
he isn't anything like pawter. that's both a good thing, and it isn't. dutch never liked pawter, but johnny loved her and she saved johnny's life. dutch knows what it's like to be orbiting johnny, even if her relationship with him is nothing but platonic. it made her understand at least some of pawter better. ]
[ a snicker. alright, alright. the answer is probably actually yes, if he's fully honest, but he'll try and contain himself and his appreciation of his meal. ]
I thought chefs were supposed to enjoy appreciative eaters.
[ but the next chomp is somewhat more sophisticated and not accompanied by sound effects. ]
Or you're just really hungry and anything would taste amazing.
[ but yeah, she does all right putting things over a fire. it's not rocket science, exactly, is it? ]
Managing just fine. It's not my first crash landing, you know. [ she barely even got scrapes in the crash, though that's more luck and a freakishly strong guy with just one arm catching her pod before it landed. else she'd be in worse shape. ]

[ honestly? she doesn't mind, but not minding doesn't mean that she won't tease. ]
But I'm not much of a chef.

[ right okay come on John, head back out of your stomach for thirty seconds ]
You've been alright, then? Since surviving an unholy plummet from space and pre- feeding the starving doctors?
