Odin felt the strange feeling too but wrote it off as static electricity. "Better than being on your back with your legs spread." He gruffed. "Just stay in here or my room. Please, don't wander around, alright?" He told Xander seriously. If the male was going to cook he would have to listen to his Captain.

Xander pouted, he wanted to explore, but he nodded. "I'll listen this time," he promised. "But don't you think I could explore in my pixie form?"

Odin sighed, yielding to that cute pout. "Alright. But be careful." He answered, patting the boy on the head. "And don't get caught." He warned. "I have some more work to do, but dinner is in about four hours. Make sure its enough to feed six hungry givers." At that, Odin left Xander to it. heading back to the deck.

Xander smiled happily and hugged him, he couldn't help it, "Thank you," he told him happily. He moved away from him to let him leave then shifted. He started to dart around the ship exploring, he had never been on ship before;

Odin had made a face at the hug and it had taken all he had not to push the kid away. What the hell had he gotten himself into?
The Captain threw himself into work for the next couple of hours. He wondered if Xander had got the cooking thing down or if the kid was running about wasting time. Odin prayed for the latter, knowing his crew got a little testy when meals were late.

Xander went back to the kitchen about two hours later to get the food ready. He made a big batch of lasagna hoping no one was allergic to anything. He had everything ready and plates of food on the table right on time. He hoped the crew and Odin would like it.

Slowly, the crew started to trickle in, their noses being tickled by the scent of good food. A few were moaning at the sight of the food while looking at Xander curiously. Styx came in with Zeta, the mistress, and everyone sat down to wait for Odin.
Of course the captain was the last to show up. "Wow, seems you did okay kid." He told Xander when he spotted the lasagna. "Everyone, this is Xander the new cook and Xander, this is everyone." There was a general chorus of hellos before the inhaling of the food was started.

Xander smiled at the praise then sat next to Odin. He ate slowly mostly because that was how he was raised but also because he kept looking around at everyone curious. He kept quiet though knowing they probably would not want to talk, and thinking Odin would get mad if he tried to speak with them.

There was much talking and laughing at the table and a few of the men stirred up some conversation with Xander...or tried to at least.
"So Xan, Odin get in your pants get?" A male with white hair asked. He was on Xander's left and nudged the boy with his elbow teasingly.
"Oh shut up Roth. We're not all manwhores like you." Odin quiped, shoving lasagna into his moth and making Roth laugh.

Xander blushed a bit at his question and was glad Odin answered for him. "I'm just the cook," he told him softly. "Nothing more."

Xander's comment made all the men howl with laughter. "I bet he'll be on his back with his legs spread by the time the night it out." Zeta chirped rather snidely from his place beside Styx.

Xander looked to him surprised, "Just cause your easy doesn't mean I am," he spat back angry.

"Ooh ouch. Kitten has claws." Zeta pouted before cuddling up with Styx.
"Alright, that's enough children." Odin sighed, ruffling Xander hair and hoping he wasn't too angry with Zeta. "Hurry up and finish eating. Lights out in an hour." This was followed by a groan of protest and a growl from Odin.

Xander liked the hand in his hair and shyly leaned into him. "An hour?" he asked curious, he wasn't protesting just curious. "Why?"

"Down time for everyone." Odin replied, ignoring the way the boy seemed to lean into him. "Otherwise some of use would never lay down." He gave Roth a pointed look and the young, white haired mail just grinned again.
