[Yeah no, Kotori just... gives her a quick glare back before being distracted by her meal coming out. A massive, steaming three-pound bowl, a big pot of black tea and a tall pitcher of cream, and a whole lemon cut into wedges. Okay yeah, the wriggling is a bit intimidating, but... time to walk the walk. And really, she IS famished; rations on the ship were tight as they got closer to port, and with so many random people showing up. As long as the spice doesn't upset her stomach, she can probably get it all.

A clap of her hands, a firm "itadakimasu," and she picks up her chopsticks. The first bite will be unseasoned, to show proper respect and to get a feel for the spice levels. And she actually gives a soft, closed-mouth chirp!]

Mm! That's really good~!

[And she actually has to force herself to shut up, because oxygen will make the already-blooming heat worse. But the stir-fry is super flavorful past the heat, the hood piece she picked up has a great texture, and the rice underneath is cooked perfectly! Just pace yourself, Kotori. And maybe see if a couple of whacks will help still the tentacles, and chew thoroughly.]
