Sometimes, yes. He prefers jams on his bread rather than simply bread and berries, but he has been known to pilfer bread from the kitchen before going on a ride, and has from time to time simply sat himself in the wilderness and eaten berries he found himself while enjoying the loaf and a quiet moment of relaxation.
Generally speaking if a drink is paired with his food it is done for him, as he notoriously forgets to order one. When he does remember, it is generally tea.
Successfully being the key word there, along with no combat training – we have the following options:
☼ – DAYSTAR – a secret they don’t want coming to light
The depths to which he values the loyalty of others not to him but rather to the causes that he represents and fights for. Whether they understand why he has recruited them or not – whether they recognize themselves as recruited or not – so long as their motives remain aligned with his, there is nothing he will not do for them.
What secrets Mr. Darcy holds affect not only himself, but the lives of his sister and all those who reside and benefit from Pemberley estates being in good repute. For that reason, he is hardly likely to share them so easily.
Mr. Sparrow has but one inquiry about this and that is why in the devil’s name he ought to be putting out his private business for all the world to see just because a bunny bloody asked it of him. And furthermore, he would like to express his utmost astonishment in Vane, whom he believed to be a respectable pirate and therefore wiley enough to avoid such traps, for being so open with matters. As to the dandy, well it is no wonder he held his tongue – there are, after all, no greater cruelties in this world than the lengths those purportedly good men will go to in order to achieve their ends, aye?

It was thus due to this particular adventure that an eighteen year old Fitzwilliam and his then six year old sister somehow managed to cause the single most disastrous flour explosion ever known to the Pemberley kitchens, and amid stifled giggles of the staff, he gathered up his dignity and declared he would never set foot there again, so help him all merciful saints.
( It should be noted, for further visual, that he also picked up his little sister like one might a cat, leaving her arms and legs to dangle toward the floor as he held her about her quavering middle thanks to the sheer fits of laughter she was in. He then marched his flour coated self and sibling to their personal servants to be cleaned off, and had to do his very best not to laugh himself upon the looks he received from his father and the steward Wickham! Not to mention the shrill horror of his sister’s nurse at the sight of her lovely dress ruined, and the woman’s attempts to scold him for carrying Georgianna so indignantly! )

{ Unusual Questions }
🎐- Does your muse like to collect/hoard anything?
Despite being a pirate, Charles is actually not attached to material objects. These sorts of things can be taken and destroyed, and he has enough going on in his life to find the idea of getting torn up over things to be a waste of his resources and energy.
To this end then, it is safe to say that what Charles Vane collects is in fact people – individuals who he believes he can trust to uphold the ideals that matter to him, and prove themselves to be loyal to those ideas even if it means crossing lines that the civilized would balk before.
Mr. Darcy has benefited greatly from the natures of his ancestors who collected great works of art – from sculptures to portraits of the most grand design. His life has always been couched in luxury, which has in turn instilled upon him a rather marked lack of interest in collecting more. When he does go out of his way to gather items, it is usually gifts for his sister and those few who can count themselves among his friends.
Jane collects letters – from all over the world, from friends and benefactors, from allies and enemies. Most important to her are letters intercepted from her family back home – it has allowed her to thwart the Beckett sons again and again – but there is one among them she cannot bear, and one day she seeks to correct the lie it has told – the story of her own death, a blatant lie delivered to her brother Cutler, the only man in the Beckett line whom she adores.
Jack would like to collect fine things, but he has a terrible habit of losing them, or trading them, or exchanging them to save someone who won’t even say thank you. So while he certainly has the desire and the drive to be a hoarder, he simply does not possess the means to keep what he acquires, for one reason or another.
Whittled figures from the men. He has a small collection of pieces, and when a man dies in battle, storm, or illness, he carves their name on the piece to immortalize a memory of them. Those who cannot whittle, or have never gifted him a piece, he purchases a small figure to represent in the wake of their death – or in some cases, so they are represented among the crowd.
