Congrats! Video

[Tony's counted up the ballots and finished up with lunch. He's still in the dining carriage looking relaxed and pleased with the news he's giving.]

Congratulations to the new Council Members!

Those voted in are Sarai, Lightning, Feanor, Manabu, Dread, and Ignis! Ash is going to be an alternate.

So if you have any issues you'd like us to address, please contact one of the members and they can bring it up at our first meeting.

[Renee levels a look at Ignis, brows furrowing slightly. She can get that he's...a bit confused, and her expression is meant to be an invitation, really. Even as she's plopping salmon teriyaki on a plate. It's difficult not to be greedy, but they were supposed to be sharing, she reminds herself.]

Oh, I plan to. [Threat and promise, all in one. And with the way she digs in, it's got to be gratifying to see--she barely waits until she's seated back at the table. She tried, at least.]

Sorry about the crappy manners, but this is literally the best thing I've ever tasted!!

[No, she didn't get out that much before the train, either...so this is definitely pretty exotic, to her.]

[He'd just finished getting his plate together when he heard Renee's apology.]

I don't mind..

[Ignis was about to say more when she said it was the best thing she'd ever tasted.]

Eat up then, there's plenty. And if I need to, I can make another round.

[Cooking is his pride Renee, good job on complimenting him on it.]

[Renee has some manners. Not that many, but some, and the fact that she's forgone them in the name of food is...back to the teenaged embarrassment, really. Again. Maybe she just ought to give up and realize that she's just going to live there. At least until she turns twenty. And probably even then.]

Don't other people need to eat too, though? And you do too! Besides, I don't have a crazy metabolism like some Peters and Gwens on this train, I actually have to work out to not get fat.

[Not that she's exactly fat anyway, really, but she does have a workout routine. Most of it is doing laps in the gym with Ash, since there's not really anything on the train that she can lift that would constitute actual exercise.]

Also I wouldn't mind other people learning the magic that's your cooking... [She pauses at that.] Though didn't you make some of the food for the party too? I didn't see you there, though...not your scene, I guess?

[Not that it had been hers, either. She probably should've skipped it.]

I am going to eat.

[Old habit is to let others go first, the chef goes last.]

[At her question about the party he nods as he sits down across from her.]

Of course, Tony has asked for my help, so I made some of the food.

[He grabbed a napkin and cut some of the meat off of some of the skewers. Ignis had almost taken Tony up on the dance offer to see if the other man knew how. But he figured it would be awkward and he was only asked to contribute to food, not dancing.]

I..stayed in the background.

[That's what he's used to.]

[Yeah, he better, or Renee would literally make faces at Ignis 'til he did eat! Sure, there might be other scavengers coming to pick over any leftover bounty, but it wasn't like it was his team's job to cook, not at the moment. Though after she scarfed down her share--and she did--Renee went to the sink and ran hot water and dish soap into it.]

You don't mind if I start dishes, do you? I mean I probably shouldn't do them with my cast and all, but I mean, I can at least help, it's Purple's job to clean, anyhow...

[Renee just looked over at Ignis, arching a brow.] Yeah, stay in the background and be unobtrusive, right? I didn't see you there at all...I doubt you saw me, either, though.

[She'd been sitting in a corner tossing a ping-pong ball against the wall, mostly. Other than teasing Manabu, getting the hell confused out of her by Edge, and then trying to mitigate Pete's getting himself drunk. She was glad she missed Pete puking, though, that would've been no good.]

I would've said hello, at least, if I saw you. And thanked you for the food! It was really good! Not what I'm used to, sure, but good.

[It seemed to him like he'd just sat down to eat but she was up.]

I'll get the dishes, you have more if you want. You shouldn't be doing dishes with your cast.

[Seriously don't make him adult at you Renee. Still, he smiled at the part about being unobtrusive]

It's a skill that I've acquired. I'm sorry I didn't see you, but I'm glad you enjoyed the food.

I'm not gonna do the dishes, Iggy! I'm just gonna set them to soak so they don't get all gross and crusty!

[Yes, she's protesting. Renee gets enough dadding from other people, she neither needs nor particularly wants it from him, honestly.] You just sat down and I've already been stuffing my face. I'll get more to eat, but I can slide the stuff that's empty and dirty in the hot water.

[And really, this isn't her first rodeo with a cast, either. She's not going to make a mess of it, so he really doesn't need to worry, touching as it is.]

Yeah, I did. I didn't think to thank anyone though. I kinda feel bad about that. [As much as she likes to troll, Renee doesn't like to be rude, really.] I'm sorry I didn't see you, either.

[Renee couldn't see it but Ignis smiled when she was getting wound up about the dishes and let her go on. Dinner was up to his own cooking standards of course and as long as she was talking everything was alright.]

No one took offense at not everyone thanking them.

[He took a sip of coffee before continuing.]

We were thanked by Tony who had asked us to help, and that was thank you enough.

Well, I hope not. I troll people to shake them up. I tell Emperor Tony he's not wearing any underpants. That's from a story from my world, how all the emperor's sycophants told him he was wearing this awesome new outfit, when he was naked 'cause he'd been swindled.

[Renee wasn't sure that Ignis had any stories like that back in his world, so she explained it. She nodded when he said that Tony had thanked them.] That's good, then.

Since I'm up, do you need more coffee? I'm bringing the pot over anyhow, because I do! [Along with her plate that she'd put a few more skewers on, too. She wasn't as fastidious about cutting the salmon off--she just picked up the skewer and stripped it off with her teeth. But if they were at something like a dinner party, she wouldn't be such a damn heathen.]
