"In some ways, artistry could be seen as serving. I have great respect for artists. Exposing your heart to the harsh light of the sun and the volatile minds of the world is a dangerous and daring thing to do. The world is better for it."
"Indeed." He begins to dissect the creatures, tasting pieces frequently.
These fresh organisms are soaked in the strong flavors of the sea as might be expected, but each one has a unique flavor. Certain crabs and fishes have hints of the rotten whale flesh they feed upon, while other seaslugs and such have a tangy poison that provides a sharp spiciness that would kill a normal mortal. The few that have been dredged up from the ocean depths have a thick flavor of murk that comes from a lack of love from the sun. Almost all of the creatures are spiced with the sweet taste of fear and confusion.
*Wow, I didn't actually expect you to come up with flavor profiles. Nice job!*
He eventually determines which ones are worth trying to prepare, which is most of them. He begins to try out methods of preparation: steaming, grilling, boiling, frying, the works. He lets the Pelican try everything he makes.

"How would Bun like to help?" He looks around to see if he can find the plushie. "I don't think rabbits like fire or water very much, and paws aren't good for holding sharp things... perhaps he could sort berries?"
She chuckles "He likes to hold sharp things all the time! He's good at that." The stuffed animal, in question, is sitting to the very far right of the cart, now holding a coring knife. "He'll help with berries though! He likes them!"
"Well, then, if he's good with knives, it would be best to employ that before giving him a less skilled task." He places an onion and a kitchen knife on a cutting board before the stuffed animal. "Bun, would you like to dice some onions for me?"
It doesn't move and Luci tugs at his sleeve. "He doesn't like being watched when he works. He gets real self-conscious." She explained.
"Ah, I understand completely. I used to be the same way. I still am sometimes." He turns and begins to heat up some oil in a frying pan.
When he turns, he hears scuffling and then the sound of a 'Thunk!'. Once he turns, he sees the onions have been finely diced and the knife has been firmly planted in the table. Luci continues to wash the vegetables and smiles "Sounds like he is done!"

"Forgive the mess, I am trying to regain my sanity again."
"Fair enough. I apologize for the rough treatment. Our crew has been through a lot lately, and tensions have been running high. We're not a bunch of savages, just trying to navigate through rough waters. You seem to have some stories of your own. Care to share a bit about how you ended up here?"

She thinks for a moment, then a moment more. She seems more confused the more she thinks. "I don't know... I remember mama and papa but I don't know where i came from or where I was.."
The Pelican lets out a sigh like that of the wind surfing along the waves of the sea, "Lost memory is tragic, for memory is the building block of a life. I am deeply sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry over. I can't remember who I am somedays nor can I remember faces and places."
He shakes his head slightly, "How can one live without remembering who one is and what one has done? So much life lost!"
"I am fine with it. it lets me live in the present without feeling of hurt from the past." She explained.
"The pain of the past is the water by which we grow, however the present is the best time to live. I admire you for making the most of your circumstances."
She beams at the praise and sits on the deck "How many friends do you have?"
The Pelican blinks and pulls his beak into his feathery breast to think, "Hmm, I don't believe I know the exact number. I have many brothers and sisters of the surf and air, as well as companions upon this ship. I do try to be a friend to all I meet, for we all breathe the same air and are warmed by the same sun. Why do you ask?"

“Well it would all be offensive to you. But I just joined the Crusader, and got into that fight up there. Nearly killed one of the crew, but they set that Dark Knight thing on me. It injured me badly, so I surrendered.”

*That means a lot coming from you, thanks! I thought I'd give it a shot even though I don't really know any fancy chefs terms.*
The Pelican happily swallows anything you toss to him as well as the few unusable scraps you discard. The bird's hunger never seems to be sated.
Flynn nods, understanding the situation. "Well, I won't pry if you're not comfortable sharing. You're safe down here for now. If you need anything, feel free to ask. We might be a motley crew, but we're not all heartless." He takes a moment to glance around, making sure no one else is eavesdropping before continuing. "I've got my fair share of grievances with the Empire, so I'm not exactly thrilled to see someone from the Crusader on board. But, I won't hold it against you personally, unless, of course, you think their methods are sound. We're all just trying to find our way in these turbulent seas, aren't we?"

"Thank you very much, Bun. You've done an excellent job, but I would like to suggest that you do not stab the table. Wood is very dulling to metal, and these knives of mine are very expensive. I already sharpen them more than I probably should." He places a fish before Bun, along with a clean boning knife and cutting board moves to saute the onions. "Would you please fillet that fish for me? Given your displayed speed and precision, I assume you need no instruction on how to do so."
He turns to Luci. "You weren't exaggerating when you said he was good."
