"Then I shall try that, please." she said with a smile.

"Right, here's you sample then," she said, cutting a bit sized piece off and handing it to Goldenscale on a small paper plate.

"Samples are free, and so is your first serving," she said, sliding the rest of thepiece she had cut from to Goldenscale then tapping on the sign that read, 'Council members and newcommers get one free serving,', "Enjoy."

"Thank you." she said with a smile.  She then went over to Mayumi.  "You have to try some of this." she said.

"No thank you, mochi isn't my kind of food, and rice doesn't set well for me," Mayumi said, taking a bite from the piece of steak she had, "At least you found something you like, and we've only been here for a few minutes."

"I didn't know rice food have so many flavors..." she said as she ate her kochi.

"It's all in how it is prepared. Cooking is an art to be experimented with, and can never truly be mastered," she said, finishing her steak, "For every ingredient, there's millions of ways to prepare it."

(Then I shall experiment too!  XD  *brofists in the air.*

"I'll have to try that during my absense..." she said with a smile as she finished the mochi.

"Knowing how to cook is also a good survival skill as well. Cooked food is less likely to make you sick," she said, "Anyways, see anything else you'd like to try?"

"Ummm...." she said as she looked around.  "There." she said pointing to a booth and going over to it.

Layed out on the booth was a small collection of pipes, a small crystal ball that could pass through them, and diamond cut crystal the same color as the ball. Standing at the booth, was a soot covered dragon wearing what looked like a heavy apron. "This is not for the weak minded," he said, taking out a cryst the same color as the pipes, "It is free to try, but the task is a test of will. If you win, you get a custom object of you own design free of charge from my forge."

"What do you have to do?" she asked with a smile.

"Take the crystal the same color as the ball. You must you the pure energy of your will to guide the ball through the pipes while use my own will to hold them in place," he said, holding his crystal in both hands as the pipes began to float up to eye level, "The only rules are that the ball has to pass through all the pipes, and you can only win a prize once a day. The faster you finish, the better the selection of materials you can choose from."

"Alright.  Challenge accepted." she said as she grabbed the crystal.  She then made the crystal ball go through the pipes, not too fast, but not slow either.  Being in her weakened state, she couldn't make it go as fast as she would be able to, but she finished making it go through the pipes at an average speed.
