[Dinner is over and it's time to fully comprehend everything that's been said. You're stuck in this school whether you like it or not, but that doesn't mean you can't... try to enjoy yourself while you're here.
[Sonia takes the fork she was offered and the can she had opened to demonstrate -- mushrooms -- and takes a good look inside]
Can mushrooms just...be eaten like this?
[She's not entirely certain. It's unlikely she'll get food poisoning or anything, but something about eating mushrooms out of a can just seems so off. On the fork there's some unappetizing-looking mush]
Yes, that can work! [She takes the carrots and salmon. These look much better...
...hm! She's hit with inspiration]
Wait, this should work!
[She takes a frying pan, pouring what's left of the salmon and carrots in]
This all should go well together, right? Salmon goes well with mushrooms!
[Or at least she vaguely remembers seeing salmon with mushrooms at some point. She's not experienced in the kitchen and it shows, she doesn't have the slightest idea what seasonings would be good for this]

[Let's find a can! Sonia takes one, manages to put the can opener correctly, and starts cutting the tin]
See? These are easy to use. I think injury is unlikely, too.
no subject
Whoa! That's amazing. You're a life saver, miss!
no subject
Please, give it a try. When you learn something new, you should try it right away.
no subject
[ He has the opener in hand. Let's grab another can... canned salmon?
Okay giving it a try. It takes a moment to get it in the right place before he starts turning it. ]
Look, I'm doing it. Pretty soon I'll be a pro at this.
no subject
[Okay, laying it a little too thick there, Sonia]
no subject
Right? I tend to pick up things pretty fast.
[ What is modesty. The can is opened. Time to open another one. This one is canned carrots. ]
no subject
[And can they really afford to be wasting food?]
no subject
[ Grabbing a couple of forks and offering her one. ]
Let's sample to see if we can figure something out!
[ Just going to go for the canned salmon first. ]

[ And hmm. The mushrooms look unappetizing. ]
Do it! It looks like they braise them or boil them before sealing them up? It probably won't be bad.
[ Just a little funny or fungi. ]

...]
...what a time to be alive!
[She says to avoid saying what she thinks. The mushrooms taste incredibly salty, it takes all her politeness not to go spit them in the sink]
no subject
Let me try.
[ Already sticking his fork in there to get some. He'll offer over some of the carrots or salmon in turn.
Let's try. ]
Whoa! That's not what I was expecting at all. Maybe if we rinse them and add something spicy?
[ Maybe there's dried peppers or something here ]
