The Phoenix Queen
What was with that way of talking? Was he pretending to be sophisticated or barbaric, throwing food around like that? And what was he insisting she taste his food for? It didn't have anything to do with her. She wasn't some kind of poison-tester.Who was he, again? It started with a C, she just knew it, he was.... Carter? Cameron? No wait, it was something that sounded Japanese like Nagato, or Katagi. Oh, whatever. She'd ask his name if it became relevant. As his hand extended towards hers to hand her the spoon, she snatched it from him carefully, making sure she didn't touch him, or get too close, just touching the spoon. Metal, not plastic, thank goodness. Metal spoons bent, plastics broke. The pot though.... Megaera gripped her piece of bread as she considered it, then dropped the spoon, letting it clatter on the wooden table, rather than risk breaking it. Taking her piece of bread, she dipped it in and sucked on it. It tasted... well... oily, but was plenty flavorful. No ginger, thankfully, and some garlic, a lot of spices, but there was definitely a slightly burnt aftertaste to it. "It's good." She said quietly, looking back at him with uninterested, purple eyes, and went back to munching on her piece of bread.
