Flavors, Food Choices, and Menu Planning - Friday, 4th period

[sharp_as_knives]

All the students in the class were getting e-mail that morning:

From: Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Subject: Today's class
Importance: High

Due to the increasingly lethal population of the island, class today will be optional, and held in the gourmet suite of the Arms Hotel. If you choose not to attend, it will not affect your grade; should you choose to show, you will obtain extra credit and be given the opportunity to taste dinosaur meat.

Hannibal wasn't going anywhere today, but if you wanted to, he would feed you.

Emma had been more than eager enough to break out her armour and sword to fight her way to class today, even if the only thing she'd ended up encountering was one of the smaller feathery not-dragons (and she'd thought swans were bad tempered).

Which meant she spent half the time watching Hannibal for ideas on how to prepare her own kill and half surreptitiously neatening up, because you didn't actually need an etiquette teacher to know it was rude to show up to dinner dishevelled and gore streaked.

Hannibal eyed her curiously, but first things first. "There is a restroom just there," he pointed, "where you can clean up if you like."

Blood and gore everywhere were such a hassle.

Emma wasn't entirely sure why he was eyeing her, sure she didn't usually wear leather armour to class, but under the circumstances. She decided it was probably just the not-dragon blood.

"Thanks," she said, inclining her head. Because you didn't curtsey in armour, it looked ridiculous.

Actually, it was more the, "who are you and what did you do with the snarky street rat". But if she was anything like the others who'd been changed, Hannibal didn't think asking would get very far.

"You're very welcome." He bowed his head back at her. "We wouldn't want to get blood on the furniture."

Well, technically it was more a case of what her parents and step-grandmother didn't do.

But she was still plenty capable of snark. "Yeah," she said with a smile, even as she carefully avoided brushing against anything. "That would be about the worst thing that could happen this week."

Hannibal laughed. "Well, the hotel might think so. Also, I can't imagine it's comfortable."
