A delicious smell

by **Kal'ai** on January 8th, 2013, 12:03 pm

The other Konti didn't hit her with something (like that stick she was using to cook), like she had expected. Instead, she kindly repeated what she had said before. Now that she thought about it, it was pretty obvious that the direction she had to follow was the one the other woman had pointed for her, but that didn't matter because...Dinner! Dinnerdinnerdinner...wait a minute, stop. Her stomach was cheering and her legs wanted to get away as soon as possible, but she wasn't done here. It would have been rude to leave like that without thanking first.
"Oh, that's right! I'd like to thank you for your kindness...Wait a second, it should be somewhere..."
She started to search frantically in the internal pockets of her cloak, trying to find something. Ah-ah, there it was. She stretched her arm, offering the other Konti something in her palm. It was a little brown sachet, that smelled faintly of basil.
"There! It's not much, actually. I don't think it's more than a spoon, but...It's basil. I think it's from...actually, I don't remember. I bought it today, but I fear it won't be enough to make my "special" charred fish taste any better, so...you'll probably find for it a better use than me."
She smiled, hoping that her offer wouldn't have been rejected. It was the only way she could find to amend to her clumsiness, afterall.

Blythe reached for the sachet, and soon let it fall into her palm. Lazily, she pinched the rough fabric open with the help of her thumb, and dug her nail into the leaves. Some of them seemed to have dried, while the others seemed pretty fresh. "Thank you," the Konti said with a smile. "The little ones should love this on their fish," she added while her mind spoke only to her. No they won't. They don't like anything green. But there's no need to tell her as much.

Gingerly, she pulled a leaf from the sachet, and broke it in half with the weight of her palm. Slowly, she sprinkled the leaves over the fish filets, one leaf for each. "Would you like a bite before I bring this inside?" Blythe asked. "Just to see if it's any good?"

After she asked she'd close the sachet and place it in her pocket.

"Thank you. The little ones should love this on their fish"
Kal'ai was extremely relived when the other Konti accepted the brown sachet. She would have sighed for the relief, if it wasn't...well, rude. She thought so, at least. Ah, who cares. She smiled back, displaying one of her best smiles while the erbs were sprinkled on the fish.
"I'm glad it's useful!" she said, with a little nod. Kal was going to say farewell and doing what her stomach was suggesting, when the other Konti talked again.
"Would you like a bite before I bring this inside? Just to see if it's any good?" she said, putting away the little bag, at this point almost empty. The young Konti freezed, while her brain started to work fast. Okay, she was offering her a little bite of fish...the same fish that smelled so wonderfully. And she was hungry...soooo hungry! But should have she accepted? Well, she decided, just a tiny bit. Only a minuscule bite of that delicious fish...Yeah, she decided, just a little to not reject the offer.
"Uh! Oh, thanks for the offer! Although I suspect it's good, if the smell means something. But just a little...I don't want to steal your dinner. Even if that would be tempting." she added, shrugging her shoulders with a little smile on her lips. Then she remembered something she hadn't done yet.
"Oh, and my name is Kal'ai. Nice to meet you!"

Blythe smiled as she shrugged her shoulders, "as you wish Kal'lai," she commented as she lifted the plate up. "It's nice to meet you too, I'm Blythe." Her smiled broadened as she moved towards her family's cottage.

"You're welcome to come in and warm up if you'd like. If not, I hope you enjoy your own dinner," Blythe added as she strode towards the door, left ajar. She nudged it open with her foot, as she had done many a time before, before making her way inside. Gliding down the hall before turning into the kitchen and setting the plate down at the center of the table.

"Dinner!" Blythe would call, before waiting for the others to arrive.

OOCI don't know if you wanted to end here or not, so I left it open.

"As you wish Kal'lai. It's nice to meet you too, I'm Blythe."
Blythe, Kal'ai memorized. She was rather good at remembering people's faces, but names always slipped from her mind. But she was improving, and remembering faces and names together was becoming easier and easier. And now...celebrations! She took a little piece of fish on the border of the plate, obviously fallen when Blythe had put it on the dish. It was, as expected, delicious. She was still wondering how a piece so minuscule of food could taste so good when the other Konti lifted the plate and started to go inside.
"You're welcome to come in and warm up if you'd like. If not, I hope you enjoy your own dinner."
Kal made a vague gesture into the air, before smiling.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll be on my way soon...but, if I return in this zone of the city I'll be sure to stop and say "hello!". Of course if you're not busy when I do..."
She stopped, before starting to ramble again. One, and two, and three...there. Counting was relaxing...she should have done it more often, when she panicked.
"Have a nice evening! Goodbye!"
Blythe returned into her house, holding the plate with her dinner. Kal stretched her arms in the air, before starting to walk again. This time, she thought with a little smile, nobody would have stopped her on the perilious...well, not so much, but that word made the whole thing sound great...road towards her dinner!

OOCIt has been a pleasure to role with you

Thanks!
