While Tarentek was describing the dish, Onyx couldn't help but notice the similarities between what he described and one of the dishes that her mother had liked to make before she left. "First of all, that sounds really yummy. Secondly, I think I've seen my mother make that, and third, If you want to look through my ingredients, you're more than welcome to." Onyx smiled at the smell that now filled the den, a mixture of spices and fish. "The meal is almost ready, I just have to make sure it doesn't burn now." 

As she watched the food, she continued her thoughts out loud. "You say that your people adopted traits and traditions that would improve your life? While we don't have much contact with outsiders, we have adopted some practices. It's kind of a necessity for us because we move around so much. One that we had to get used to when we moved here was hunting more at night than we do during the day, because it is cooler at night the creatures we hunt don't come out until after dark, which we figured out after watching a rival tribe of ours that lived in the area."
