The queen quietly asked her commander questions about what was going on as they watched. Why not eat the vegetables as they were? What did frying the food do? Why must so many herbs and spices be used?

He answered to the best of his ability, which, being one of the first to be taught all this, was quite good. Still, in between Rogue's work, he sometimes repeated a question to her as she was able to elaborate where he couldn't.

The crew seem to be rather...obedient around her

The kitchen is a dangerous place at times my queen he answered, figuring she might wish to speak to him without Rogue knowing. Sharp knives, hot pans and ingredients, and when you're serving a group, there's a lot of it and thus more hands and a leader is needed Everyone must work in unison lest someone get hurt. When you get your chance to learn, I'm sure you'll appreciate how smoothly things run when there's someone in charge in the kitchen.

Me? Learn how to cook?

Of course. You see, humans come to us pre-made in every form. Taste, build, looks, and so on. With food, the array of choices is as wide as our pantry is. And if you don't like how something tastes, you can change it. Believe me, once you've begun on the new diet, you'll want to try new things all the time, and even create your own. Working in the kitchen and getting a hands-on feel of it all helps one enjoy the meal more than just a meal.

She cocked her head at him and then nodded once before turning her gaze and mind back on the work of their underlings.
