Third Floor Common Room [evening]

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

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.

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

"We eat cows an' chickens an' pigs," she told her. "When we can get 'em. Mostly we just eat protein an' grains."

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

"We're real poor," she explained. "Meat's expensive. I eat more here!"

"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.

"My boyfriend cooks so I gotta eat," she assured her. "I ain't never hunted. We prolly could at home, 'cause we're terraformed, but mostly we just got domesticated animals."

"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.

"Nooo, I couldn't never eat a horse," Kaylee said fretfully. "But we got cows an' all that! I try not t'play with them or nothin' so I don't feel sad later."

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