Alys

Whatever Alys had expected of her question, it was decidedly not the response she got. She'd been expecting perhaps a few sentences, a brief analysis of how the processing worked, but instead she ended up chopping her potatoes while listening to a rather lengthy lecture on the subject. Surprised, but not entirely upset about it - she had asked, after all - she listened, humming acknowledgement in what seemed like the right places. It was actually quite interesting, as Noah worked on the meat, showing her what he meant at each step, so much so that for a moment, she forgot her own task to watch as he sliced away.

"That's... a lot more complicated than I thought," Alys admitted as she turned back to her vegetables. She set her chopped potatoes aside to work on the onions, peeling off the outermost layer in preparation to dice them into chunky pieces. "How did you get started, anyway?"
