The waiter came to ask for his order but he declined to order his food before the rest of the group arrived, that would be rude. This was likely their last meal on the ship, the next one will be in Voryhrm.
"By the way can I see the kitchen? I have nothing to do before my friends arrive."
"...certainly, sir. It's just that the cooks are a bit busy around this time."
"It's fine I'll be so quiet and quick they won't even notice me. Ah! By the way can I meet to the chef that's been cooking for us?"
"I don't really think tha—"
"Lead the way."
The waiter took him in such pathways and turns that for a moment Aldrich thought it was some kind of maze like in the ship.
But eventually he was taken to a huge kitchen. The cooks and staff moving about in this kitchen made it look like a street market. The smells of cooking foods stimulated his hunger.
