[Chuckling, Jacky led her down to the mess. Taking a moment, she tucked the Lady Gay away under the bar before guiding Lara over to the serve-yourself section of the mess hall.]

Here we are! Got some sort of green lasagne, some 'stir fry' with greens and peppers and some good hearty root vegetables, some potatoes au gratin, over here are curried chicken sandwiches, and some macaroni and cheddar with scallions and ham.

[Grabbing two plates, she handed one to Lara and started grabbing some grub herself. No burgoo or weevils in the rolls; definitely an improvement over some ships she'd been pressed on. And, yes, she's taking one of everything.]
