Like every interaction with Zelana, A'tay didn't know how he got there. He had offered up his rarely used cooking area when she mentioned cooking for him and testing spiciness when it was brought up and next thing he knew, he was answering the door to find her loaded down with various ingredients. He watched her prepare the fish for a bit and then set to working on a new chess piece as they chatted. He was getting used to her but she could still make him blush without much effort.
His first instinct was to say no when she caught his attention and offered to make a bet--especially when the terms were set. Instead his stupid mouth said, "my tub is far too small for that. Though, some of the public baths might work for some things." He was far too kind and offered up an alternative way to torment him. Well done!
"I'm more interested in the different spices than a bet but sure, sounds like a deal." He was trapped in the swim lessons anyway so what did it matter about where they started?
"I guess we start with mild and work our way up?" A'tay took the piece Zelly pointed to and popped it in his mouth, taking a moment to enjoy the flavour. She was right, it was mild but not bland. "This is amazing, Zelly!" She said she liked to cook and now he knew for certain she definitely had skill. "I could enjoy a full meal of this."
