"Hmm... good point," Tal agreed cheerfully, though he wasn't really sure how bad Alys's cooking really was. The lack of space for her to cook in her own place meant he hadn't gotten to try it out. His own was generally passable, but definitely leaned into the simple and hearty rather than anything fancy. Since he'd had to eat his own cooking on the trail before the skyships came along, however, he'd had excellent inspiration to learn enough of the basics to get by.
He set the dagger aside as Alys neared the potatoes, not wanting to cut her by accident. He kept stirring the soup base, tasting it occasionally and adding a dab more pepper or garlic now and again. Her suggestion of salad was met with an easy nod. "Sounds great," he agreed. A mix of heavy and light, hot and cool sounded good on a Halovian Longheat day.
Her questions brought a snort from the courier as he set a lid over the soup pot and went to rummage in her bags for the vegetables, figuring he could wash them up while they chatted. "Not havin' any luck," he admitted, grin falling into a faint grimace, though it wasn't truly a scowl. "Though I'm not lookin' all that hard right now. The kid's not the worst I could do. I just dunno if he'll stick around once he has t'fly with me for days on end, y'know? But I guess we'll find out in Leafchange. That's when he starts," he added, unsure if he'd mentioned that detail before. "How about you? How's the magic comin' along?"
