Alastriona beamed after the Void Weaver tasted the dip and grabbed a piece of celery to dip into it. She made a light, delighted squeal after chomping on it, the tips of her hair curling in enjoyment. "So yummy!" the young foodie declared. "Thanks, Ms. Silva!" Aislinn scoffed as ...

Alastriona found the small bottle of turmeric in the spice rack and gave it a few good shakes into the dip. Once it would've been stirred in, the dryad gestured for their taste tester to give it another try. "How is it?" Meris smiled thoughtfully as her partner spoke of her qualities. &quo...

The McConmara siblings more or less raised their hands. Ciaran's was only partially raised, and he had a mildly sheepish expression. "I don't know if you could call it meditation, but I tend to go for walks outside or focus on a creative project, whittling or something like that." Aislinn ...
