Zelly couldn't help but giggle as she watched A'tay take yet another bite. She was already going through a mental checklist of all her favorite spice blends and spiciest recipes that she knew how to make, ones that tasted good and weren't just a silly grasp at spiciness for heat's sake alone. She gave him a sly grin when he finally took a break for bread. "I'm sure I can find ways to make the half that hates me change its mind."
There was definitely a temptation to take advantage of A'tay's good mood, see if she could perhaps kiss him again or drag him immediately to a swimming lesson, but Zelly paused when he asked her to teach him. Teaching was not something she'd ever really considered doing, outside of convincing people to go swim with her. She nibbled on another bite of the spiciest fish, her eyes beginning to water as she sniffled. The rush of heat helped clear her head along with her sinuses. If she taught A'tay and he could make the same spicy things, then she wouldn't have to cook so much for herself! This was a brilliant idea, and she was both disappointed in herself and pleased with her friend that he'd thought of it first.
"Here, I'll write down how to make my favorite spice blend." There was no better time than the present after all. "I can show you how I cook with them... well whenever you would like really." Zelly grabbed a piece of paper and began to scribble down the different seasonings and spices, pointing out their little jars as she named them aloud and explaining roughly what their flavors were like. "This one, is a bit smokier than this one over here, and this one is hotter, but a bit bitter so you want to balance it out with a little salt." It was, perhaps, not the most accurate recipe, when she was done, since some of the ingredients were listed in vague measurements of dashes and even one note where she said to use enough, but it would hopefully get the idea across. She smiled up at A'tay once she was done with the recipe. "What's the first thing you would want to try to cook? We can make anything spicy, not just fish."
