Hannibal was smiling in a way that should probably worry people, and yet was somehow very cheerful. Or maybe because it was very cheerful, people should worry.

The mistletoe should definitely worry; he had two knives close to hand.

"Today is your final," he informed the students, in case they had somehow forgotten. "I hope you have all enjoyed the opportunity to cook some of Earth's foods and learn about what you can do to turn raw ingredients into delicious edibles. Today, you'll be starting with very raw ingredients, and transforming them into a delicacy - tête de veau. It is a traditional Christmas food in some countries."

He presented his own beautifully presented plate of delicate pieces of meat surrounded by lovely vegetables, beautiful slices of tongue surrounding the brain, garnished with greenery. "Please, enjoy mine, and then make your own."

From the calves' heads sitting at each station. They'd had the hair removed; you were welcome. They were also deboned enough you could finish the job yourself, and the tongue had been partially separated. Hannibal was being nice here.

Sort of.

Happy final!

Faced with your exam.

Prompto Argentum

Vette

Sabine Wren

It's delicious!

Vette had never in her life been in any position to turn down food, and she wasn't about to start now. So it was after only a brief, thoughtful look toward the unprepared heads that she shrugged and sampled the food that was before her.

"... Ooooh."

"This meets with your approval, then?" Hannibal asked, smiling.

Vette smiled faintly and nodded.

"I don't see why it wouldn't. Everything's been excellent so far," she pointed out. "... But yeah, I like this, too."

She was easily pleased with food. She was not going to mention that.

"I'm pleased to hear it," Hannibal said. "Even if it isn't spicy."

Prompto was...much more hesitant to get into this one today. Funny, really, how much he'd gotten into it when you made your food look like other things, but when your food still looked like what it actually was...

....yeah, not so much. This was going to be rough. He just kept looking at those calf heads and wanting to apologize to the poor little guys.

Make your food! You can do it!

Vette was occasionally known to get a little squicked out by icky things.

Apparently a hairless, partially butchered calf's head was not something she considered to be an icky thing. With a shrug and almost clinical attention to detail, she rolled up her sleeves and set to work preparing the meat dish. It kinda looked like nerf! That was encouraging!

A hairless, partially butchered calf's head was something that Prompto definitely considered to be an icky thing, but maybe there was a silver lining here, because he was pretty sure he wasn't going to be eating after this for at least a week. Definitely not anything with meat in it. He could totally be a vegetarian, his diet had gone way out of whack since coming here, anyway...

...this was a resolve that would last exactly however long it took for him to get his first next whiff of a Mooby burger, of course, but it felt a lot stronger now as he worked through the recipe with the dedication of someone working through an unpleasant slog not out of enjoyment but out of sheer necessity.

Yup. Definitely letting Iggy stick to all the cooking. Your job was totally safe there, Glasses.

"Remember," Hannibal prompted him, "food is an art, not a chore."

Prompto wasn't going to ask what the hell kind of art was going to involve a hairless boneless head of an animal, but he probably didn't have to. His dubious expression probably said it well enough on its own.

Some food could be art, sure, like last week. This...Prompto wasn't quite so convinced.

But, still, he said, "Right, art," and nodded, throwing a few more...uh...hand flourishes into it as worked? At least he tried, right?

He's here!

Why am I up at this hour?

Why did I just drop melted marshmallow in my hair?

Are these two things connected?
