Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Solenis (Jan 29, 2005 05:26 p.m.):[/b] She knew that Devona would wish her to say no, but Devona was not here, and this woman was the first in many days to smile at her in a friendly way. She nodded and followed Malorik to a level section of dirt big enough for the woman to lay out her little cooking tarp. Onto this Malorik placed a clay pot with a latched lid. At Malorik's direction, Raspeth poured a measured amount of grain into the pot, followed by a small amount of water and a handful of dried berries. Malorik latched the top and shook it thoroughly, and then filled two large drinking cups with the mixture. "Want some?" Malorik asked. Raspeth looked at the brownish mass with interest and nodded, and Malorik poured the small amount left into a little bowl and handed it over. Raspeth thanked her and took it and was about to taste it when Malorik stopped her by tossing what appeared to be a very small amount of fine-ground yellow sand in the middle of it. Raspeth looked at her doubtfully and then sampled it. It was bland but satisfying and crunchy, and the sand added a pleasing honeyed taste to it. The man Reno came and joined them. He nodded to Raspeth and she nodded back, and together the three of them took their breakfast. When they were done, Malorik used another small amount of water to catch the last of the grain from the inside of the clay jar and pour it into a drinking flask to be consumed during the day's journey. Nothing was wasted. "Thank you," Raspeth said again. The rest of the camp was beginning to wake, and the smells of the meat roasting began to reach them. Malorik and Reno did not rise to join the others, and so Raspeth went to get her share on her own. She met Devona on the way back, and though her escort looked hard at her she did not keep Raspeth from rejoining Reno and Malorik as they cleaned their breakfast dishes. "Would you like some?" she asked in return, offering the small portion of fragrant roasted meat to the other two.[/quote]
