Third Floor Common Room [evening]

Kaylee honestly didn't understand this whole Thanksgiving thing beyond 'there'll be lots of food.' It was fairly archaic in her time, after all, and it wasn't like she'd been formally educated in history.

She was trying to do some research, as best she could, but rather than do something intelligent like either asking someone who might know something more about the holiday or, you know, cracking a book, she'd found something on television.

She didn't know how something could be semi-homemade, and why that woman was so...terrifying, but for some reason, she couldn't look away. Well, mostly. She could look down at her lap to check that Popples wasn't getting ready to run away or anything, since she'd figured this was as good an opportunity as any to get her new pet out to visit places other than her room.

[I've been meaning to do this post for like three days, dude. open!]

Firekeeper snorted. "Why?" Because Kaylee would know. Or something.

Well, she'd meant why is she being scary about it. But that answer worked too. "Thanks for what?"

"We is not having such, where I am from," Firekeeper said. Well, wolves didn't. And as far as she knew, the humans didn't either. Though it was entirely possible they did and she just didn't pay attention.

"Learning is good," Firekeeper nodded approvingly. And then elbowed Blind Seer sharply before he could make a crack about how she still hadn't learned to read. "This country was started with feasting?" she asked curiously, looking at the television and the various kinds of things being prepared. "On sugar?" That didn't make much sense.

"They conquer land from turkeys?" Firekeeper pondered out loud.

"Is not bad meat," Firekeeper admitted. "Deer is tasting better, though."

"Where I am from, humans, wolves, both is eating deer." The difference of course being the whole 'cooking' step that wolves pretty much ignored.

Firekeeper frowned. "Grains is important for humans," she said. "But meat is also. You should have," she said sternly.

"I not buy meat, just hunt," Firekeeper said. Because that was totally possible in space, of course. "Is good that you eat here, though," she added approvingly.

"Them is stupid beasts, mostly," Firekeeper snorted. "Horses is smart enough, but not for eating." Well, unless you were being held prisoner on a boat and it was the only thing offered. But that was totally different.

"Is probably wise," Firekeeper said diplomatically, even though she had no such problems. Food was food.
