Belle just smirked at the kid, waiting to see if she was worth the trouble. When she finally wound down, Bell nodded. "Taz, huh? Like the loony toons character. That kinda suits you. You're a whirl wind that zooms around trying to cause trouble and getting outsmarted by the Wasklie Wabbit!" She smiled, then added in a light tone, "My name's Belle, but you can call me Belle. And just so you know, Taz, I'm not a gimp or a crip, I fell off my Harley doing sixty around a bend that some jackass had spilled oil on, and I expect to be back on it again in a couple more weeks. You, however,<i>are</i>a crook, or you wouldn't be here." She paused a moment to let that sink in, then added, still smiling and using a light tone, "And if you did call me one of those things, I'd kick your fuckin' ass across the room, broken leg or no broken leg, and then claim it was self defence! Who d'ya think they'd believe?"<br/><br/>She giggled a little as she hobbled over to the fridge. "Let's see... Onion, peppers, mushroom... Hmm, no, their still okay. Look in that cupboard there, Taz. Should be a couple of potatoes, with a bit of luck. Eggs? Mmhmm. How does a nice thick Spanish omelette sound to you?"<br/><br/>She was taking things out of the refrigerator as she named them, placing them on the table behind her. "Look in the next cupboard along, there should be a tin of tomatoes in there somewhere. Hmmm. No fresh garlic. I think I've got some frozen here somewhere... Ah, here we are! Right. In that drawer there, you'll find a potato peeler, and in the cupboard under it there's a big plastic bowl. You know how to peel potatoes? Just scrape the blade along the surface all over, that's it."<br/><br/>As Taz began peeling and chopping the veg, Belle cracked the eggs one handed into another bowl that she retrieved from the dishwasher, then used a fork to beat them. "Oh, could you grind some salt and pepper into the eggs for me? I can't use the grinders one handed."<br/><br/>Belle was pretty sure that somewhere on the list of things not to do that she had destroyed was letting the kid near sharp knives. But she was reasonably confident that she could take the girl, even with one hand and one leg. Kid was nothing but skin and bones after all. Pretty soon the bowl was filled with the chopped veg, the smell making Belle's mouth water as well as her eyes - the onions were rather strong. Belle instructed Taz on putting the largest frying pan she had on the stove, and adding a little olive oil to it. then pouring in the bowl of vegetables. "Keep stirring it all the time so it doesn't burn and gets cooked evenly," she instructed. The smell was soon even more appetizing. Belle poured the eggs over and found the pan's lid, popped it on top.
