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

"I hope you all are well-rested and well-prepared for this dinner," Hannibal started without preamble. "If you have any questions or encounter any problems, please ask for help - problems happen; it's how you deal with them that's important."

He smiled and held out a hand to indicate the man next to him. "For those of you who haven't yet met him, this is Mr. Wayne, the sponsor of the dinner, which will benefit his charity foundation." Bruce nodded and smiled. "I hope you will be pleased with the results," Hannibal told him. "Right now, we are readying everything we can ahead of time, to lighten the process later."

"Not next semester," Hannibal agreed. "Music Appreciation. After that...well, perhaps art. Never fear - I will never abandon food," he said, smiling. "But I couldn't have a cooking class when my prize pupil might not be there for it."

Sparkle twitched a little smile at that.

"What, Zhari?" Yeah, he knew Hannibal was talking about him. "She's leaving, after all."

It was on the radio, and all. Though, he supposed, the broadcast note was about Sholeh.

"Not Zhari, though I will miss her as well." Hannibal patted Sparkle on the shoulder. "Have you decided yet about the workshop?"

"I've been thinking about it," Sparkle admitted. "Even had a talk with the school counsellor about it, you know? She figures it's a good idea, too."

Er. Paraphrased. A lot. They were talking about Electroclash, after all.

"Not really like I have anything to lose."

"I'm glad she agrees. Have you spoken to your caretaker yet?"

Sparkle nodded a little, eyes on the flowers again.

"Yeah, he likes it, too. He's glad I gave him the heads-up, gives him a chance to look at the program, get an idea of what I'd be doing there. At first he was kind of iffy about letting me lose a summer term here, like he thinks the school has been good for me, you know? But I pointed out that the workshops here are kind of just glorified summer camp anyway."

"Good." If Lewis had refused to allow Sparkle to attend, it would have been much more difficult. "It would seem it's unanimous, then. With one abstention so far," Hannibal teased him.

"Yeah, yeah," Sparkle replied, and he couldn't help but smile a little. "I'll do it. Not even to prove everyone wrong, either. I'll do it because it sounds like a good time."

So... there?

"The very best reason." Hannibal squeezed Sparkle's shoulder again. "Let me know if you'd like a coach or assistance before the audition, though I'm certain Count Dracula or Mr. Starsmore would be willing to help, if you'd rather."

"Pretty sure the Count is expecting, like, theatrical greatness from me already," Sparkle sighed, running his hand through his hair. "I auditioned for that thing back when I was going by Sparks and talking about how awesome my family was. I don't want to ask someone for help who expects... that."

If that made any sense at all. For Sparks, the theatre had been a passion. For Sparkle, something that piqued his interest. Something that held promise, maybe, but he was approaching it from a completely different place.

Hannibal nodded. "He would probably understand, but it might be somewhat awkward. Well, as I said - let me know. I'm willing to be a supportive audience, too, but I doubt I have the right sorts of experience to help much."

Unless you needed to act harmless and congenial; he was good at that.

Well, it was good that Hannibal was, at least. Because Sparkle sucked at it.

"Yeah? Because I'd take a supportive audience with opinions over acting at myself in the mirror, and all my cat does when I perform for him is yawn and beg me for food."

Hannibal chuckled. "That sounds very like a cat. Of course; one thing I have in abundance is opinions."

Also money. And bad habits.

Sparkle had two out of three. That was a good start, right?

"And you're way less likely to trip me up and demand I feed you," Sparkle replied, smiling a little. "See, you're a way better audience."

A very good start. Hannibal would be happy to help with all three.

"On the contrary, I'm more likely to feed you," Hannibal pointed out.

Feed him to who?

"Really, that still means I win," Sparkle decided. "Are there, like, any scenarios where this doesn't work in my favour?"

That probably included ones where he ended up eating people. Sorry.

"None that I can think of."

Except the eating people one. Details.
