Having cast off the tyranny of shoes, Neric is curled up in a chair by the fire with a cup of tea, a plate of cookies and a book on first aid.

Reading has never come easily to him, so it's slow going. He had skimmed ahead, looking at the pictures, but they were unsettling and so he has gone back to the reading.

He wouldn't mind a distraction at all.

"You could," he agrees with a grin. "If you could cook food that doesn't involve animal flesh, it might help the Kindar get past their belief that cooking fires are evil. That's the biggest problem they have with cooking, the idea that it always involves killing animals."

"Keeping it vegetarian's not hard," Jamie says, though he says so a little wistfully; he is partial to a bit of meat, himself.

"As long as they don't start thinking I'm evil for setting one up, which would put a damper on things."

"They're a lot better about it than they used to be, but if you set up the cooking in one of the surface cities, instead of up in the trees, and made it clear there weren't any animals involved, they shouldn't mind."

A pause.

"And you could probably show the Erdlings new ways to roast the lapan they love so much, but you wouldn't want the Kindar to know about that."

Jamie taps his nose sagely.

"I know a thing or two about being sneaky."

He grins.

"They'd love you, then. They spent so long trying to make not-enough food last to feed all their people, I doubt they had the freedom and the leisure to make it really tasty. Just whatever they could get--what fruit fell down from the trees, a root now and then, some mushrooms, and lapan."
