Work Text:
Nile: "So, this duck cassoulet, is it an old family recipe?"
Booker: "Yes, my grandmother's."
Booker tries to hide his grin behind the glass.
Nile: "Why are you grinning like that, Book?"
Nicky: "Maybe it has to do with that Book once played a trick on Joe with the recipe."
Joe: "It's still not funny."
Nile looks at Joe.
Nile: "Why isn't it funny?"
Joe: "I don't want to talk about it."
Joe crosses his arms with a grumble.
Booker: "Let me tell you why it is funny. Once, Joe kept on nagging me because he wanted to recite some poetry perfectly in French."
Nile: "Let me guess, you taught Joe the recipe instead of the poem."
Nicky: "Yes, you should have seen the look on Joe's face when he found out what he had been reciting."
Booker: "That look alone made it worth being chased through the entire Madrid by an angry man with a scimitar."
Everyone but Joe laughs.
Joe: "It's still not funny."
