"Oh." Zelly frowned. "That sounds awful. I'm glad you and your brother made it out." She wondered if T'ryn was as cute as A'tay was, but even she knew not to ask that aloud. She wasn't sure how she'd feel if a disaster had struck her family and home. There had been big storms on occasion, but nothing that had ever frightened her too much. Even with her own current situation she'd be upset if her parents died. Or worse, if anything happened to her brother.
She readily latched onto the change of topic and let herself smile again. "I can walk you through more seasoning, maybe next time we can do something with poultry so that you can practice with a different blend of spices. And yes! Pickled garlic. It's not that hard. We'll just need jars, vinegar, salt, and some herbs or other seasoning. And time. I don't make pickle anything very much because they need to sit for so long before you can enjoy them."
Zelly cooked so that she could enjoy the fruits of the single labor she enjoyed. Not to sit and wait while nothing exciting happened! Though she supposed they could distract themselves with other things while they waited on the garlic. She twirled a finger through her hair thoughtfully. "If we make them then you have to hide them somewhere here so they can't taunt me with how long they're taking. We could add a few peppers to it for some added spice. Pickled peppers can also taste delightful, they just have the same problem with time. They don't even do anything interesting while they sit in their jars. We will just have to work on teaching you other meals while we wait." She paused for a moment as an idea popped into her head. "Can Xy eat spicy things?"
