Responding with a cheerful grin, Maea watched with ever widening eyes as Alys dished up the treasures she'd brought. "So have you," she replied, duly impressed, "this is going to be a feast." As cooking wasn't a forte of hers, the selection of herbs and spices she chose was eclectic and somewhat random. Choosing a stew as she was more comfortable with boiling than baking things, it was fun to throw things into the pot and comment on the aromas that soon began to rise along with the smoke and contentment of being in friendly company.
Leaning back while the stew puttered along, a comfortable silence stretched out like a warm embrace. Over their heads, the sky darkened faster now, and stars began to emerge. "Do you ever get this feeling of unreality?" she asked after a while. "Like you can't be sure something is real, because it's so different from what you're used to?"
