“I gotta treat everyone who walks in here, getting killed isn’t on my bucket list.”
Nanachi never learned how to properly serve dishes, yet, he’d rather have something to eat than rely on taste. His hair and towering ears remained untouched, bare without that protective helmet. He walked over to his compact kitchen, picking up his ingredients and tossing them into the boiling pot.
Said ears turned at the mention of cured meat, he’s never had anything other than those wall bars sold exclusively by Bondrewd. Sounds way better than Abyss Stew, too. He’s running back to Ozen, placing his paws on his hips.
“Meat? O’ course, gimmie some of that, please! It’ll make an even healthier meal. Say, though, I’ve never seen you around here. You’re a white whistle, riiiiight?”
“Getting killed by a human in a world of fantastic beasts does seem rather anti-climactic.” Ozen stared at the Narehate, the urge to rub the soft, furry tummy tickling her digits to an instinctual twitch. When the small creature bounded into what she could only assume was its kitchen, she followed, shuffling to compensate for her leg span, and found herself peeking through the door, at a questionable concoction boiling in a pot.
It smelled and looked terrible. Perhaps rabbits had different standards for taste? Ozen was not going to stick any of that stew into her mouth, etiquette be damned. Walking the way she came, she knelt down beside her pack, and took out the cured meat she’d mentioned, as well as various pickled fruits and jars of seasoning.
“Why don’t I cook you something instead? It is my meat, so I know it best.” Ozen gathered the ingredients into her arms. “Indeed, I am a White Whistle.” She stood, and turned around. “I am Ozen the Immovable. I oversee operations at the Seeker Camp in the Inverted Forest, so I don’t travel in the deeper layers anymore. This delve is an exception, of course. There’s a place I wish to revisit here.”
She bowed, and gave the Narehate the slightest tap on his little nose.
“Will you be returning the favour with an introduction?”
