[Gwendolyn is wandering around the kitchen investigating, and opens the refrigerator door.] Oh, this is for storing food. [She closes the door and circles around it. Then she opens it again, searching.] I wonder how it is kept cold. There is not enough snow nor ice to warrant such frigid temperatures... I'm sure father would enjoy a home cooked meal. But there is not much that I know how to cook. Certainly nothing befitting our king.

[She closes the door and sighs.] Griselda would laugh at the thought. I am a warrior, not a homemaker. I should not be thinking such things. There are people on the field to make our food. I need only be concerned with the next battle...

[Despite this, she continues exploring the kitchen.]

And who is to say a Warrior may not cook?

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Oh. It is a distraction. I know enough to get by if I must, but a grand feast... It is beyond my capabilities.

[lamb_of_gold]

Grand cooking is beyond the capabilities of many, but it is the simple meals that most subsist on.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Would father notice a simple meal?

[lamb_of_gold]

I think he would if his daughter was the one who made it.

Oh, jeez, that thing - I don't get how that thing works, either. [Shrug. Strange technology is strange.]

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Perhaps dwarves have built it, though what power they have borrowed to keep it chilled is a mystery to me.

Who might you be?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Dwarves - right, I don't know if those exist where I'm from. If they do, they're darn good at not letting folks know. Magic, though - hm. [Ponders this for a bit.] I guess that's as good an explanation as any.

Haseo. Welcome to the Plane, by the way.

You do not know of the dwarves? The people of Titania are quite oblivious.

[She nods.] I am Princess Gwendolyn of the Valkyrie. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am afraid I do not know much of this place.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

"Titania"? I'm not from there.

Apparently it's some kind of place where folks from a bunch of different worlds can meet and talk and so on. You go and come back just by thinking it...Sometimes, there are different versions of the worlds, to boot.

Well, you can always learn to cook! It's not too hard.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

It is not? ... Do you know how to cook?

[remare.livejournal.com]

I do! A little, anyways. I'm not as good as Alicia-san, but she's been teaching me.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Would you recognize the foods in here? I am not familiar with some of these.

[remare.livejournal.com]

{She looks inside}

Well, most of them, at least! Since there are all kinds of people here, I guess there are all kinds of food too.

[was here to grab herself something to eat, because the TARDIS is completely out of food. Again.]

It's a coolant system. It takes the heat from inside it and moves it outside, lowering the temperature inside. If it works anything like the refrigerators back home.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

[Derp.] That is a unique magic. Do you know who could cast such a spell?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[smiles] It's not magic, it's science.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

I am afraid I do not understand.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Isn't there science in your world?

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

If you want good food, pick something with meat. Or like a cake or something.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

I have no experience with baking. What sort of meat would father enjoy?

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

Beef, I guess. Cows and stuff. Maybe ham? Nice Christmas ham's pretty good.

Strange and unexpected are the many talents, useful or otherwise, one may discover.

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Thank you sir, but even talents require training and refining. I doubt I have so much time before I am to see my father again.
