Itadakimasu~! [OPEN PARTY]
If the Mess Hall normally smelled like anything, it was the bland, flavorless glop that the crew was accustomed to eating. But if you were to pass by the room today, you might notice a different smell. A good smell - the smell of actual food.
Nanoha Takamachi and Miku Hinasaki have been hard at work cooking up a feast of authentic homemade Japanese cuisine, and the entire ship is invited. Have at it!
(ooc: Thread amongst yourselves; Nanoha and Miku will be tagging around and making sure everyone's having a good time, but it's a party!
There's pretty much every type of Japanese cuisine here that they thought non-Japanese would enjoy/be familiar with: Hand-rolled sushi, some gyoza potstickers, udon bowls, agedashi tofu, and a variety of other dishes. If you're familiar with it, they probably made some.)

Dean's nose was already on full alert as he walked into the mess. Ok, so it was a bit more exotic than his typical fare, but he wasn't going to turn down the chance to eat something better than slop. And those potstickers looked really tasty. He loaded up with those, some udon, also some teriyaki skewers. (One of which he happily munched on his way to a table.)

—delicately sampling a slice of salmon sashimi at his place by the table. His tail twitched complacently as the subtle flavors of this mysterious Earth meat formed upon his sensitive palate, savoring the texture and reveling in the sudden kick of wasabi as the bit of food melted away. Each ingredient seemed to provide a completely different element to the experience—which, of course, Aeneas found absolutely fascinating. Who knew humans could be so particular about taste? This creature was beginning to think he was the only one.
He was curious, however, and didn’t want to disturb the hosts from making all these wonderful dishes; thus Aeneas decided to inquire to a male that was not only approaching but also heavily enjoying his sustenance, and therefore probably knew something about what he had acquired. Or so he hoped.
“Excuse me,” came the delayed purr, mouth unmoving apart from the occasional grinding of his lower jaw, “Would you…happen to know what animal this comes from?”
no subject
"That? It's raw fish dude..."
no subject
“Is it?” Aeneas trilled, nostrils flared to gather the faint scent of this meat, “Pardon my ignorance, but—what are ’fish’?”
This writer apologizes ahead of time, Dean.

He did eye him a little, "They don't have animals that breathe in water where you come from? Because that's what they are. Swim around, and uh got gills."
Dammit why is he being asked for the science lecture, this was more Sam's bag? He could probably go on and on about the species and other stupid facts.
no subject
Unfortunately this human was slightly less…astute than the ones Aeneas usually found himself conversing with, and thus he was left rather confused and a little skeptical himself.
“Erm…” the creature gave a thoughtful blink and, in nervous amusement, ruffled his feathers, “…Well, yes, it did—I assume. That would…essentially include my species.”
Because, yes, those feathers are actually casings for external gills, therefore he did indeed breathe underwater; this would also imply that Aeneas was no stranger to ‘swimming around’, as it were. And though the thought of humans hunting his species for this delicacy briefly crossed his mind, the concept was so utterly audacious that Aeneas immediately dismissed it.
So it made sense that he would want to clear things up before this conversation progressed into something less pleasant. “—I mean—what do these ‘fish’ creatures look like?”
no subject
He's done it on occasion himself. Just kicking back with a few beers and a rod in hand over a lake.
Dean then studied the creature further, "Wait, you're usually in the water. Then how come you're walking around?"
no subject
He would have to stop by the Media Library later.
The next statement proved odder still, even managing to elicit a confused cock of the head from the creature being interrogated. Aeneas fumbled about for some sort of human parallel. “…Well…You swim for entertainment sometimes, correct?”
