#VVApartment – December 30, 2020

Uvena sighs. "You think I'll enjoy the night more sitting on my ass watching you do all the work?" she says with a grin as she heads for the table to place the plates and utensils, and she quickly returns to go get the glasses.

Va'ynna frowns. "Because she can," she says. "They have more staff, but... not enough. The temporary manager wants to do something about it, though, and she has already hired someone."

Victoria gives a chuckle "Hey, it will be a rare chance to see me work on my feet instead of working from the pilot's seat." She keeps her focus on stirring the gravy, making sure it comes out at the right consistency.

Sarah frowns at first and then her expression goes neutral. "Well, hopefully the actual manager does not get rid of any new hires when she gets back."

Uvena pulls out four glasses and heads for the table. "So, you're saying your kitchen work is more impressive than your piloting?" she teases. "The dinner will be judged accordingly, Victoria Steels." She puts them down on the table, and then starts on her way towards the fridge to search for drinks.

Va'ynna nods. "I can hope," she says. "As I understand it, there's... some animosity between her and the actual manager, but I hope I can stay out of that... conflict."

Victoria continues stirring the gravy, she looks at Uvena for a moment and grins. "How many pilots or mercs you met that can actually cook good? Because you are gonna know at least one after tonight." She turns her focus back to the gravy, smiling that it is almost ready.

Sarah nods back at Va'ynna. "Yeah, hopefully you are able to stay out of it, if it comes to blow."

Uvena shrugs. "When you get as old as I am, a merc that can cook well is no novelty," she says. "What are we drinking? Anything specific that goes well with this roast?"

Va'ynna shakes her head. "I don't think it'll come to a physical fight," she says. "I think Enila will have the upper hand in that case, since I don't think D'Inea has much formal combat training, which Enila does. I could be wrong, though, because she does not like speaking about her past much."

Victoria shakes her head. "I don't really have any suggestion about what to drink. So whatever you want really." Happy with the consistency of the gravy, she takes the saucepan off the stove and puts the lid on top of it. She quickly checks on the roast dinner.

Sarah nods at Va'ynna. "Well let's just hope that does not happen." She stops for a second and looks over to the kitchen. "Anyway, are you looking forward for this roast we are about to have?"

Uvena pulls out a few beers, and a bottle of some dark-red soda and carries it over to the table. "I don't suppose you have any wine?" she asks. "Or is it just beer and strong stuff in this house?"

Va'ynna nods, and a rumble of her stomach follows shortly after to underscore her answer. She is more than happy to let the topic of work go. "Yeah," she says. "I haven't had anything proper since breakfast, so I'm... definitely looking forward to it."

Victoria pulls out the roast pork of the oven, grabbing a knife to cut into the pork slightly checking the texture of the meat. Happy that it is cooked probably and ready to cut up for serving. She turns her attention to Uvena. "Yeah, beer and rum are the only heavy stuff in this house. I'm not much of a wine drinker."

Sarah gives a slight chuckle at the sound of Va'ynna's stomach rumble. "Yeah, it sounds like you are looking forward to it."

Uvena shrugs. "I figured as much," she says as she sets the drinks down near the edges of the table to leave room for any hot dishes. "It's no big deal, though. I think I'll survive without." She chuckles, and makes her way back to the kitchen.

Va'ynna nods again and makes her way over to the table to take a seat. "What about you?" she asks, glancing towards Sarah.

Victoria moves the roast pork over to a chopping board and begins to cut the pork into slices. "Well now I know that I need to grab some wine for you next Christmas."

Sarah follows Va'ynna over to the table and takes a seat across from her. "I am looking for to this meal, I had a light lunch to avoid any chances of ruining this dinner."

Uvena moves up beside her, watching her cut the roast. "It looks and smells good," she says. "Is there anything else that needs to be brought to the table?"

Va'ynna nods and looks past her at Victoria. "No pressure," she says with a tight-lipped smile. The smile grows more genuine as she sniffs the air that is being filled with the smell of the roasted meat.

Victoria continues cutting the roast, she stops for a moment. "If you want to take the gravy with a spoon over to the table. Then I'll just need a plate to move the meat onto." Vicky goes back to cutting the pork.

Sarah sniffs the air and a smiles appears on her face. "It is smelling great, Victoria."

Uvena nods and brings the saucepan over, grabbing a spoon from the drawer on her way there. "Copy that," she says. After putting it on the table, she takes the seat next to Sarah to not get in between two lovers.

Va'ynna continues to watch Victoria work, and another rumble of her stomach follows as she impatiently awaits the main dish. "Mhm," she hums in agreement with Sarah.

Victoria finishes cutting the pork, she moves over to grab a plate from the cupboard and moves the cut pork and some of the pork crackle onto the plate as well. She takes the plate over to the table and places in the centre of the table. "Grab what you need, I just gotta get the veggies." She moves back to the kitchen to collect the veggies and put them on a large enough plate to contain

them.

Sarah expects the meat and gives a smile. "It looks great as well, Victoria."

Va'ynna has her knife and fork ready, and grabs a piece very shortly after the plate is set down, and moved it over to her own plate.

Uvena nods, and waits patiently for the host to return before going for a portion. She has had a decent lunch before she arrived here, and a cookie or two during the afternoon.

Victoria comes back to the table with the veggies, the vegetables are potatos, carrots, pumpkins and sweet potato pieces. She places the veggies down next to the pork and then takes a seat next to Va'ynna. "Time to dig in."

Sarah uses her fork to grab a piece of pork and the crackle to place on her plate.

Uvena gives a mock salute. "Copy that, captain," she says, and begins with the vegetables to not get in the way of the others. A few pieces of each for now.

Va'ynna sneaks a quick peck on Victoria's cheek after she takes the seat next to her. "You did good," she says, and begins to fill her plate with vegetables.

Victoria gives a smile at the peck. "Thanks." She begins to grab pork with her fork to load onto her plate.

Sarah finishes with the pork and waits for a chance to get some vegetables, waiting for the others to take what they need first.

Va'ynna is quick to begin cutting into the piece as soon as she has at least something of all vegetables on her plate. She takes a bite out of it that is a little bit more than tentative, though she spends some time absorbing the taste of it.

Uvena smiles at the affection on display across the table, but she doesn't comment on it. She finishes grabbing vegetables and moves on to take a piece of the pork, using her knife and the crackle to move it to her plate.

Victoria uses her fork to collect some veggies, she then uses the gravy spoon to put gravy on the pork and potatos.

Sarah moves some vegetables to her plate, waits for Victoria to be done with the gravy before applying gravy to all of her food.
