xp_logs | Dani & Rahne - Cooking up a conspiracy

Rahne and Dani comspire a little to make sure people - especially Nathan - eat regularly. Lorna is also discussed and Dani is mildly confused.

Gingerly Dani lifted the last piece of fry bread out of the skillet and patted it dry, before placing in the stack on the tray. As usual, she was making Mr. Dayspring his lunch for the day. Today was frybread tacos with iced tea.

Rahne checked the time and decided to stop by the kitchen -- probably just for a sandwich, this time, before her next class. Roast beef sounded good. When she got there, she found it occupied. "Morning, Dani." Very *late* morning, but technically....

"Oh, hey Rahne," Dani waved an elbow as she carried the skillet she had been using to the sink, "Want some? I can make more frybread, if you want. There's plenty of fixin's left from the kids though."

"I had a sandwich planned...." Rahne got a plate and started assembling her lunch. "I ken Lorna's very glad for yuir help," she added softly. She still felt a bit guilty about having mostly stopped trying to help Lorna herself -- it hadn't lasted long.

Pausing for a moment to translate what Rahne had said from Scottish-English to American-English, Dani smiled. It was sometimes difficult to understand the other girls accent, but she was learning. "I like it," she didn't mention that it was a way she could help pay back the professor, "And it's not that hard, Lorna plans most of the menus and buys everything. I just make lunch."

"Even so... the rest of us who cook, it tends to be more haphazard. Anyhow...." On a lighter note, Rahne added, "I wonder if ye have a title from Lockheed yet, or will soon? I hear Nathan discovered he calls Lorna the Green-Haired Queen of the Kitchen and All the Food in the World."

Laughing, Dani assembled the cutlery and other utensils on the tray with the food, "Not yet...but Catseye insists my name is PregnantGirl. She's going to have name problems later, I can tell. What's he call you?"

"Lockheed? 'RahneWolfGirl,' I think. Fair enough."

Nodding in agreement, it was a very accurate name for her after all, since she had the wolf spirit, Dani made sure the tray was ready. "Do you know if Mr. Dayspring's in his office? I need to take his lunch."

"I think he is." Rahne blinked and frowned a bit, temporarily forgetting her own sandwich. "Has he been forgetting to eat again? I try to take something when things have been madder than usual, but...."

"Not again, at least according to Dr. McCoy, still," Danielle corrected gently, sitting down at the table and re-tying her hair back, "I've started making him eat lunch. He gets a treat if he eats it all."

"Och." Rahne sighed and buried her face in her hands for a moment. "Should hae noticed," she muttered. "Well." She raised her head again, shaking it. "'Tis a good thing yui're doing something about it, then. Honestly. Nathan, Lorna, all the doctors, I've never seen so many people who with plenty of food around willna bother themselves to eat it!"

"Agreed. If you're hungry, eat. But Lorna? Not eat?" Dani was confused, Lorna was the cook and the cook always ate. At least, Lorna always did.

"Well... she's improving, I think."

Shaking her head in confusion, Dani tried to start again, "Okay...I didn't get here until just before New Years. I think I missed something."

"Aah... I'm nae sure how much I ought to say. Lorna had some trouble and didna eat well for a while. Likely I shouldna have brought it up."

That explained some, Dani thought, "She's eating now, okay?" she tried to reassure the younger girl, "Well, I better go make sure Mr. Dayspring eats at least one meal. Don't tell but today's surprise is lemon squares."

Rahne smiled. "I'll think be quiet."
