[Taako makes the facial equivalent of fair point at that remark because yeah, liches are very creepy.]
In their defense, not something I do a lot cause Lup deserves all the shit anyone can give her - [he loves her] - they were more going for like, not dying, rather than intimidating.
[Is this the first time something he's said has made sense to Finn?
Will Finn be saved from having to answer that question by the waffles arriving? All these questions and more will be answered after a message from our sponsors.]
[ Okay look that's rude as hell because Taako has a good smile and Finn ends up reflexively smiling back a little. Everything's ruined. ]
I'll pass. When you make a big deal out of it, it sounds like it won't happen again.
[ i literally forgot what waffles taako ordered but its safe to assume if theyre monstrosities finn will look suitably impressed and vaguely concerned about them. ]
[ Hey man, he lives with Rey. Some people roll like that when it comes to food.
Not Finn, usually. Efficient and fastidious have been the name of the game since... basically forever. It's still kind of wild mixing meals and conversation instead of having to wolf everything down within a strict time limit.
In a good way. He guesses he'll also just sort of. Go for it. ]
But it could happen again. [ Everyone has to make sense at some point, right? A frozen chrono's still right at least once a day.
Also, are waffles magic. What the fuck. Finn could probably say something like "oh wow, this is actually really good." Maybe a little on the sweet side, but good. Instead, he opts for: ]
[It's not fair to meme at Finn when he doesn't know what memes are.
Still, he's sort of curious about how Finn is going to react to those waffles and is a bit underwhelmed at that response, which is he sort of - vaguely brandishes his fork at Finn.]
[ He will study memes viciously in an inadvertent parallel to Kylo Ren and come back swinging after like.
idk. He'll get a degree.
Also don't brandish your fork at him WOW. ]
Yeah, of course I do. [ Finn raises his eyebrows and takes another bite like he's proving a distinct point, because why would he stop at just confirming it like a normal fucking person, I guess. ]
If I didn't, I'd just take it back for Rey or get this over with faster.
[ what's the point of getting raised on mess hall meal rules if you can't slam a plate full of food you don't care for and move on with your life? ]
[ The world is a different place at 5am. Rules don't apply to reality anymore. Bring Rey a food gift instead of forcing down something less than ideal, aka, one of the all-around better plans that Finn could apply to his lifestyle. ]
Can you like, cook? Rey's a fucking disaster and Poe also seems kind of like a disaster? The kinda dude who eats a spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar and calls it a meal, you know?
[ Who knows if Finn has seen Poe do exactly that by this point. He probably has. Everyone Finn is friends with is at least partly a disaster, that's why they get along with him so great. ]
I've... done kitchen duty rotations. Mess halls. [ Interesting line of questioning. ] Not sure I'd say it's the same as cooking. At least, not the way they do it out here.
[Taako, who knows that Poe is in some kind of rebel military, assumes that Finn is in the same situation. Not entirely, obviously, since Poe is some kind of fancy pilot and Finn is getting kitchen duty, but - still.]
I gave Rey a recipe book for Cand-- Hygge, whatever, in the hopes that she wouldn't like, die of malnutrition cause no one in this fucking place can cook.
[That's an exaggeration but he's a little bit drunk let him have this.]
Also, that's a nice thing for Taako to have done. That's probably exactly the kind of thing that Rey would be really touched by. To quote many a Telltale game, Finn will remember that. ]
Oh. It's just about following instructions, right?
Yup! I mean, I could give you some bullshit about real cooks not needing recipes and it being like, about knowing in your heart how much flour or whatever to use but if you're at the beginning level there's nothing wrong with following a fucking recipe.
[Taako doesn't use recipes a lot, he sort of glances at them to get a rough idea of what's required and then makes shit up, but he's a chef, not someone who's just figuring out this whole 'cooking' business.]
I wouldn't buy into it anyway. [ Beginner level is fine if he's not trying to really get anywhere with it. Like. "Not actively on fire" level. "Teach Poe how to not catch a marshmallow on fire when he roasts it" level. It sounds nice. ]
I figure if someone needs the extra help, they need the extra help. I'm definitely a someone.

[ What... the actual fuck. Taako, why are your sister and her boyfriend just robes surrounding voids? ]
Not a lot of options for emptiness back home. If someone wants to look intimidating, they make do with a helmet or a holo.

I mean, it's a rare occurrence, kinda ruins the whole unknowable and outrageous vibe I've got going on.
[There was like at least three ingredients on each stack so Finn better be looking impressed.
Rather than claim a single plate for himself Taako is just gonna leave them in the middle of the table and eat from both, like an animal.]

Can we like, make it the first one if you ever find shit you don't like? Life is way to short to eat crap food.
