"A Swing and Miss Doesn't Mean it's Game Over"
[Well… All of that sure happened. And while Maya is visibly shaken Sissi's literal dance with death, she’d meant what she’d said to the others -- she would protect them. At that moment, it meant voting and making the “right” decision. Now, though? It means ensuring that no one feels alone, and that everyone has a good meal in them.
She’s not Nana Daiba, however, she certainly can’t do this alone. But she does have the resourcefulness and authoritative disposition to to recruit allies. Discord is sure to be… mostly unbothered by everything that’s happened, and Spongebob will likely be eager to help. She approaches both men: one is asked nicely; The other is grabbed by the collar and dragged from whatever hole he’s locked himself in. Sorry Discord.
For Maya's part, several potato dishes are prepared (can you tell someone has a bias). And while she doesn’t have the resources to make baumkuchen, Maya does manage to produce a cake, as well as… muffins? They’re not… quite how she remembers Nana making them, but she can at least recall how hearty the food had felt, and how it had restored her energy on long days.
It’s a pleasant memory, even if it does make her a touch melancholy.
Nevertheless, the food is laid out in the kitchen, as are a number of pies that Maya has uncovered. She even tucks a few bottles of wine in a corner for the adults that might like it. This is in addition to the mead apparently brought by Salieri. Look she’s not a fan of having alcohol but… she can’t tell the adults no.
But hey, courtesy of Benjamin, there is even some cocoa. It doesn’t start off spiked but… you know. Thanks to Spongebob there are, well… Angry Patties? It’s fine. Even Discord managed to contribute some pies and tea, as well as being bossed around to do the grunt work in the kitchen. There’s also that inexplicable pizza? Huh, that’s weird.
Eventually the group goes around extending invitations to the dorms, knocking on doors and explaining what’s been set up. No one will be forced to go, just… strongly encouraged. Maya herself will even duck into the principal’s office and, if she’s there, invite Hester.
She seemed just as upset as the rest of them.]

I will, I promise. ...but only if you promise you'll take care of yourself, too.

[We could mean anyone, really. Himself, Salieri, Maya...there are a lot of people out there much stronger than Varian, a lot more capable of being pillars of strength when times get tough.
The scritches are much appreciated, and Farrah will be immediately rewarded for her efforts as Ruddiger turns his head this way and that to get the best angle, much like a cat might.]
If there's anything I can ever do, or like...if you ever want to talk, I'm always around. I'm not really the best at that sort of thing, but...I can be a good distraction, if nothing else.
no subject
Yeah? You think? Well-- same. I'm older, after all. [...According to him. For now.] You can rely on me.
no subject
[He's MOSTLY joking to try to lighten the mood, but also...that is a legitimate concern, so.]

[He can do without the rest of it, even if he's a pretty well-learned individual.]
And I mean...I'd be surprised if this place doesn't have enough to furnish something like that. We keep getting Absinthe from the vending machine, and wine too.
