With a sigh escaping his lips, Jaime set down his utensils and lamented, "Too bad we don't have any meat." As he savored the lingering flavors on his palate, his mind wandered back to the dusty pages of the weathered tome he had stumbled upon two years ago, a culinary treasure trove that had ignited his passion for the art of cooking. Although he had meticulously gathered all the necessary ingredients, the absence of meat, an essential component according to both the book's guidance and his own culinary expertise, left him yearning for the tantalizing depth and richness it would have bestowed upon his creation.

With a tilt of her head, a mischievous glint in her eye, and a wrinkled nose, Annie couldn't help but remark, "Why, it's already much better than the piss we eat every day!" The mere mention of the word "food" made her shudder, for what they called nourishment in this desolate place was nothing short of horrendous. Even back in the Marley, where culinary pleasures were a rarity, the meals managed to surpass the abomination before her. Yet, in all fairness, Annie had to admit that Jaime's creations were a delightful surprise, bursting with an array of flavors that tantalized her taste buds and awakened her senses.

With a mischievous grin, Jaime exclaimed, "Wow, Annie, I always knew beneath that cold heart is a soft, warm heart!" Annie responded with a playful roll of her eyes, a hint of amusement dancing in her gaze, secretly relishing the banter. Deep down, though, she couldn't fathom why she chose to invest her precious time in the company of this utter imbecile.

With a swift and graceful movement, Jaime pivoted on his heels, his eyes fixated upon the simmering dish that lay before him, the wooden spoon clutched firmly in his grasp as he deftly mixed the carefully measured ingredients. As the tantalizing aroma wafted through the air, teasing his senses, he couldn't help but inhale deeply, savoring the irresistible scent that filled the room. Although the dish was undeniably delightful, a small, nagging thought gnawed at the corners of Jaime's mind - the absence of meat.

A mischievous glint danced in his eyes as he placed his hand beneath his chin, deep in thought. Slowly, a devilish smirk spread across his face, like a secret he couldn't wait to share. Without a moment's hesitation, Jaime turned on his heels once more, his gaze locking with Annie's startled eyes. A shiver ran down her spine as she caught a glimpse of the wicked grin that adorned Jaime's face.

With a perplexed expression etched on her face and a furrowed brow, Annie couldn't help but question the intense scrutiny directed toward her. The curiosity danced in her eyes as she mustered the courage to ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you finally lose it?" Her voice carried a mix of concern and skepticism, leaving a lingering hint of sarcasm in the air.

With a mischievous grin dancing across his face, Jaime leaned in closer, his voice laced with curiosity and excitement. "You know the storage room near the kitchen?" he inquired, his thumb confidently gesturing towards the unassuming door that quietly guarded the secrets within.

Annie's weary sigh escaped her lips as she questioned Jaime's remark, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and sarcasm. "Yeh, what about it?" she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as she braced herself for what she suspected was coming. Deep down, she had a feeling that Jaime's words hinted at something far more peculiar than his usual antics.

"I know there's meat there. Believe it or not, the job of the instructor is actually very well paid. I know there's some meat in there," Jaime said convincingly. Already imagining how much better his dish would taste if it had meat on it.
