Mandie noticed Leo's glance and slinked farther away from Nate to join Leo and Calliope. [color=orangered]"Sorry to leave you, Calliope,"[/color] Mandie began. [color=orangered]"And it's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Mandie, by the way. Would you guys like any help? I actually smuggled some baking supplies in my duffel, but those could be for now or later, whichever you two would prefer. It seems like everyone else is looking for alcohol, anyway, and I've never been its fan."[/color] She glanced over her shoulder at some of the others and pursed her lips judgmentally. 

As Mandie spoke, she was not idle. She knelt down to the counter's level and opened each cabinet, examining the contents. Pretty porcelain plates and crystalline glasses lined one. Another held packaged snacks, like dried fruit and chips, in an airtight container. A third hid away canned goods, including tomato sauce, which she withdrew from the cabinet and tossed in Calliope's general direction. It was a comfort, having things to do and a given task in mind. "Chilling out" and finding things to talk about had never been her strong suit, and having a job - creating the ship's first dinner - was relieving.
