[ it is occurring to her only now that this sounds... really weird, probably. oh no. ]
Messere Orlov has been teaching me Nevarran, and I wanted to do something kind for him in return, but he refuses to ask me for anything. I've decided to cook for him, in want of anything better to do, and I just wondered what he might like, what he might miss from home.
Flatbread, mostly. That's different. Lotta fish β but even rich folks, not all them eat meat. Uh. Spicier than Kirkwall. Stronger flavours. But reckon 's a kindness anyway, man's been eating out of a mess half his life.
[ she flushes, pleased, at the approbation, at understanding it, at cedric being the one giving it. oh, knots, what is her thing for nevarrans? ]
We can't call it a kindness til I've done it, I'm only a passable cook.
[ she probably won't fuck this up too bad. probably. ]
Fish, more spice, stronger flavours.... I can work with that, I think. Is there a... a meal that's usually reserved for special occasions? Something expensive, or seasonal? In Candlekeep we had boar on feast days, something like that?
The Abbey'd do cabbage rolls for Wintersend. Ferment the leaves and tuck it 'round mince to boil. But y'might have more luck asking Gela β me and Vanya, we came up pretty different.
[ it's a testament to how seriously she's taking this that the boar comment blows right past her. she'll laugh when it's had time to settle, give her a few seconds. ]
Cabbage rolls... Alright, I'll ask Gela next.
Oh, andβis there anything you miss, Cedric? If I'm going to be cooking anyway, I couldβI'd like to make you something as well. As thanks for all you've done for me.
It's not a matter of owing, Cedric, it's a matter of appreciation. It's because you're a friend. You've done so many kind things for me, I'd like to do the same for you.
[ but fine, if you're not going to request something specific she'll just have to extrapolate from everything you've already told her. hmph!! ]
There's nothing much from FaerΓ»n that we don't already have here, or that wouldn't require some ingredients that don't seem to exist in Thedas, but... Well, how do you feel about mushrooms?
