"Some people don't like too much garlic, and sometimes it just overpowers other flavors. You also have to be careful to not let it burn or it can become quite bitter. We can always add a little bit more if you want. Sometimes you can roast a clove by itself and just have it as a snack too. Or you can pickle them!" Zelly was quite pleased that the cooking lesson was going so well. Just having so much of A'tay's attention was wonderful, the way he watched the food, the look in his eyes when he tasted something, how he hung on to every word she said and noted every little action she did. Normally she'd have to be naked to get that much attention. Not that she only took her clothes off for the attention, that was just one of the many pluses of nudity.
Zelana decided to give him the same consideration as she set their food onto plates and then perched on a chair to listen to him talk. It was interesting that the exile had been the result of plague and not some sort of scandal. It sounded nice though, to have a lake nearby and nice places to walk. It didn't sound like it had any of the dreary boring parts attached to being part of a merchant family at least. "It sounds nice. Maybe I can see it sometime. It sounds like a nice place to be exiled too. It's not bad here either though! My parents could have sent me somewhere much worse, full of boring people and no swimming holes."
She took a bites of the food and nodded in approval. "We did a good job. Do you think you want to try doing all of the seasoning on your own next time? Or do you want me to lead again?" On the one hand, it felt a little soon to encourage A'tay to run off with all the seasoning, but on the other, if he messed it up she could just make something else and he could learn from his mistake. Either way, she could make sure that good food was had.
