Temporarily occupied warehouse, Friday evening
Everyone was on the island and in one piece, even if their homes weren't. There were no classes to worry about, and Eliot had finally stopped ranting about whether or not he needed to hire contractors to fix up Luke's.
It was time for a family dinner night.
"Okay," Eliot announced as he wiped his hands dry on a dish towel. "We've got spaghetti and farfalle -- bowtie pasta, Parker -- marinara and alfredo, both meatless, and meatballs for the carnivores. Everyone has to take at least a little salad, and there's wine or soda to drink. Please tell me someone remembered to set the table."
The "table" in question was some leftover counter top from rebuilding Luke's kitchen, propped on two saw horses, but that was okay. It matched the "kitchen". Which was several camp stoves arranged on a salvaged desk.
They really maybe needed to think about getting an actual house to live in again.
[for thems what know, up early to be nice to scheduling!]

He set it down with a flourish, showing he'd lined the edges with gummy frogs. "Even got a garnish. Y'all are welcome."

It reminded her of setting the table with Sarah, years ago, and for once the reminder was as sweet as it was bitter.

And tweak Eliot's nose at the same time. Bwaha.

Seriously, she would be fine with living out of a warehouse indefinitely, but she kind of got the impression that Kathy wasn't completely happy about it, and she and Raven deserved somewhere more comfortable with fewer mutant dust-bunnies.

And the three of them needed more space than an apartment.

"Ain't gonna say I'd like to get outta here," Hardison admitted. "This is kinda fun, but it ain't...long term."

"Something with chocolate. Maybe. Something with meat? I like meat. Well, I'd make something without meat for you." She smiled at Kathy and sniffed at the marinara, which looked delicious. "Chocolate toast? Is that a thing? It should be a thing."

God, she craved a good steak. Or a hearty plateful of Korean barbecue. Or even that bowlful of meatballs. But she wasn't entirely sure if she were the one craving meat or if it was...something else. Better to deny, then, than to give in.

"Can you cook at all?" she asked, curious. "Not that you have to. 'Cause we have Eliot." Who lived for that stuff.

"I'm pretty good at roasting things," Raven said. "But that mostly just involves sticking it in the oven and turning the heat way up. Or putting it on a spit over fire. I can't do anything more complicated than that, though."
no subject
As Raven knew already, considering they lived together. Not that Kathy bestirred herself to cook much anymore.

She smiled down at the table, eyes swimming with old memories. "Fall fair food. K-town has a bunch of fairs over the year to celebrate."
