Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

A'tay nodded at the directions, still savoring that first bite and happy that Zelana would potentially make a full meal some time. He would have to think of something as a gift for sharing her skills with him. Maybe working on his fear would be enough to start with. Since she brought up only days earlier, he kept thinking about it and how it would be nice to swim with Xyxyth if nothing else.
But for now, he was focused on the food before him and A'tay took the next bite that was supposed to be medium in intensity according to Zelly's scale. A quick sniff was given first and he could tell it was different from the first bite but he didn't know anything about spices and wouldn't have been able to point out what it was if asked. This bite also earned a mean of approval as his eyes lit up from the explosion of flavour. They really had been living a bland life! Even years in the North hadn't shown him all the ways food could be prepared. He wondered if spices were expensive and imagined a lot would be needed to cook for a Weyr
With orders to only eat one bite, A'tay eyed the next level cautiously. He was getting into the hotter zone now and maybe he was a bit worried. If he couldn't handle this one, then he was definitely doomed to fail the last and start lessons likely that evening if Zelly got her way.
A sniff had his nose tickling a bit. Definitely stronger than the last. He wouldn't know until he tried it if he liked it or could handle it so in his mouth it went. Immediately he could taste the difference but it didn't set his mouth on fire. Or, it did by the time he swallowed but it wasn't unpleasant. He could see how this was something to eat slowly and enjoy with a drink nearby after a few bites. But it was tasty and his tongue was only tingling a little bit.
"That's not bad either! I'd probably have to eat a full plate a bit slower than I normally would if the heat can build up but that was good." He paused, eyeing the pieces that remained of that level of heat and considered it again. "I think I can handle another bite. I've never had anything like it and I'm really intrigued by it."
After having that second bite, A'tay thought he would be fine, but then he realised his mouth was burning a bit more and he caught himself fanning it with his hand. Laughing, he looked to Zelly. "Still delicious and I think I'd still eat a full fish but it does have more kick as you go." Maybe he was a bit worried about the last level now.
