With no apparent interest from Ahnasha, Fendros slowly took a bite from the wrap and hummed in approval at first. The second bite came with the onset of whatever fell spices were spread across it. It was bearable at first, but Fendros' attempts to hide weakness in this case were quickly foiled as he began to cough through his nose while he ate. After swallowing a third mouthful, he gave up on hiding it. "She's right, this is really spicy," he groaned. Sabine was already finished and was licking her fingers. She was doing a very good job of hiding her amusement. "How do you eat this Sabine?" Fendros asked, "How does anyone eat this?"

The corner of her mouth twitching, Sabine extended a hand towards the wrap, offering to finish it for Fendros. It was at that moment that Fendros read the subtle look Sabine held that indicated a sort of teasing at his reaction to the wrap. His response was to hold the last piece of the wrap closer towards his chest and replied "No, hold on," with a slightly insulted face. "I can finish it," He said as if he was accepting a dare. Sabine slowly withdrew her hand, her shoulders moving in little jolts as she silently chuckled through her nose. There was a real smile on her face at that moment, one that Fendros wasn't used to. While Fendros was surprised as ever to see Sabine this emotive, he was more focused on trying to ignore the burning pain on his tongue and his mouth. There wasn't much of the wrap left at this point, but by proceeding quickly he was able to eat the entire thing.

Ariel returned with a horn of dark ale and a relieved smile. Ale seemed an uncharacteristic drink for her, but she probably chose in a rush while in line. "I'll be sure to watch that I don't have anything that spicy again, I think." She said as she sat down, "How did you like it, Fendros?"

Fendros swallowed and found that no matter how long he waited, the burning of the spices didn't seem to go away. His eyes glanced between Ariel and her drink, unsure whether he wanted to admit again how difficult it was to eat. He knew that Ariel was not one to judge on such things, in fact he probably didn't have anything to worry about before someone inevitably told Lorag. Still, he couldn't quite think straight with the burning. "Hey Ahna," He said, quickly turning to Ahnasha, "How about we find something else to eat?" His words were fast and did not hide his state well.

The Argonian couple listened intently and continued the conversation. [i]"Hmm, a bit of both, I think?"[/i] The female said, glancing to the male for a moment before looking at Meesei again, [i]"The city does conduct a lot of trade, so interacting with all sorts of seafarers has brought many non-Argonian immigrants, but Argonians are still a majority. I think the reputation of the wine from this region is what brings so many from elsewhere to prove themselves. And of course to market to all of the wine lovers in the festival. The wine is the reason why many people visit the festival in the first place."[/i] The female smiled and properly introduced herself, [i]"I am Deesia, by the way. This is my husband, Saabo-ma. What is your name?"[/i]

Saabo-ma took out a small hempen bag, reached in and pulled out a smooth brown pointed nut. Before he ate it, he held the bag under his arm and started to removed the darker brown outer shell of the nut with his fingers to reveal a softer flesh inside. As he tried to remove the husk, he continued talking to Meesei, [i]"It is good to hear that you are helping a friend move in. Where is this friend of yours from? What does he, or she, do?"[/i] He held the bag forward and Deesia took one as well, shelling a nut for herself. Saabo-ma smiled to Meesei and nodded to the bag. [i]"Would you like a chestnut? They grow on trees far to the northwest and are roasted. They're my favourite discovery today."[/i]
