"Some people are afraid of anything different and new when it comes to food. Or they think something just looks plain gross. I have a food like that, I just don't want to try it because it looks like a bug and has tiny little beady black eyes. My brother likes them and teases me about it, but nope." Zelly frowned and shivered at the thought. She was sure they tasted just fine, otherwise why would the other members of her family eat them, but it was still something she hadn't been able to bring herself to do.
She was glad to move on to more pleasant food topics, like spice. "There are different levels of spiciness. Mild is usually pretty safe for everyone. Then there's medium, hot, extra hot, but none of those really mean anything because what I'd say was a very medium level of spice someone else would think could set their mouth on fire. We will have to experiment while we're at the Gather, browse the food stalls and have tiny samples of food."
Zelly eyed shadow curiously once he landed and decided to risk reaching out to let the creature sniff at her hand a moment before she tried giving him a pat on the head. "We'll have to get snacks for him too. Wouldn't want him to feel left out."
"As for what day..." she leaned back as she twirled her hair around a finger, thinking about her schedule. The sixteenth or seventeenth should work, but I think I can arrange to go another time if it would be better. I would just have to let them know and promise to make up whatever assignment or class they wanted me to take afterwards." Odds were though, they'd forget she was supposed to do any sort of makeup, so she could try for a nice fresh day of freedom from class. "Actually maybe sooner than that would be nice since now I'm excited about feeding you strange new things. Whenever works for you and I'm sure I can make it happen."
