[She looks over the stove and takes a few moments to familiarize herself with the settings. Thankfully, they seem fairly simple: turn knob, adjust flame. She sees where the fire pops out from the pilot to light up the gas. (It's hard to miss the smell of the gas, especially since she's been around cities for a while now.) Once she's certain, she heats a little butter, pours in the egg mixture and then turns her head around to look at Percy.]
It's a shame he never got around to teaching them to cook anything else, despite Grog asking. I'm pretty sure my brother was willing to burn it down if we'd gone longer with only that as our source of food.
