And they await Lornell.

They're back again after not terribly long, toting two large bags - closer to leather, flat-bottomed duffel bags than traditional suitcases, but they seem well-made.  "Hello - I got you a razor that flips closed but I don't know if that's the same as a safety one - I explained that the drugs weren't for me and got you some, one of them somebody said seemed to help their little kid who was too distressed to concentrate on copying off a broken collarbone, which is probably better than nothing - we don't have first aid kits; they just sell like, flares so someone else can come find you, and also I had to listen to a ten-minute lecture and repeatedly promise I wasn't considering going hiking alone - everything else was pretty straightforward, although I'll need to cut up the linen.  - And I haven't gotten more food yet since I thought it made sense to do that after we know more about what's safe and also so you can pick it out yourself and only get stuff you like."

"A razor that flips closed isn't the same but maybe we can figure out how to use it, or put a casing around it somehow. Where do we go grocery shopping?"

Permalink

" - I mean, there's a place for it?"

Permalink

"I guess we can just go see the place, I was sort of wondering if there were options like for clothing stores."

Permalink

"Sairai dropped by," Kyeo mentions.

Permalink

"Oh shoot I totally forgot to leave her a note; I'll have to go apologize later - did she have anything to say or was she just checking in?  And - there are, just not really for - buying enough to eat a lot, that keeps for a week, instead of getting one hot meal already made as a big treat, or a little snacky thing that's more for the taste than being filling."

"She was just checking in."

Permalink

"Okay.  - How are you guys doing on hunger; is it time for another meal?"

Permalink

"Yeah, maybe we could pick up lunch while we're out."

Permalink

" - Uh.  We can do what you want but I did already buy kind of a lot of food, overnight."

Permalink

"That works too, we didn't know what you had around. Can we see?"

Permalink

"Sure!"  There are more greens (some perhaps recognizable, some not); several types of unfamiliar fruits and vegetables but also apples, butternut squash, tomatoes, and zucchini; two types of cheese; some jerky; and what looks like a few ordinary chicken eggs.

Permalink

Sarham is much more used to picking and choosing food than Kyeo is and winds up munching an apple while scrambling cheese and eggs together and frying zucchini in a separate pan, all of which he tries to do the way they do on Perfect Dish which he has seen six episodes of. "I don't recognize those," he says, identifying the strange ones, "they might be worth taste-testing with the borrowed digestion."

Permalink

"Okay!  I already tried all the different types of greens I got and those seemed fine so you can use the extra ones if you want.  - I should make you a list of the kinds I bought so you know which we already think are be probably safe."  They do that while sampling the fruits and vegetables that can be eaten raw, putting down both the Cretari spelling and a Kularan pronunciation guide, as well as a parenthetical noting which one is chard.

Sarham throws some greens in with the zucchini and dishes up plates for him and Kyeo. It's not very good but Kyeo doesn't complain.

Permalink

Lornell cooks up the rest of the vegetables once the stove's free and then starts on those.

Permalink

Kyeo eats a majority of the greens and zucchini, being accustomed to that, and lets Sarham have more of the eggs.

Permalink

"So now what; do you want to, um, look at what I got and make sure it's all alright and see if it makes you think of anything else you need, or . . ?"

Permalink

"Sure, that sounds good."

Permalink

Here are the bags.  Lornell seems to have obtained the requested items with a reasonable degree of competency, minus the disclaimers they already made.  There are a couple unreadably-labeled bottles and jars which presumably contain the drugs.

Permalink

"Which are these, we might want to also label them in Kularan?"

Permalink

"Oh, right, probably.  Uh, this one's vodka," they say, holding up the largest bottle.  "This is the one that somebody had their kid take a bit of - these two smaller ones are in case that one doesn't do anything - um, gosh, you can't just copy being sober off someone, can you - probably don't mix them, wait till whatever you took first has worn off completely; I think it can be really dangerous otherwise.  The person I bought them from wrote down dosing information and stuff for me but I'll have to translate it."

There's a short and wide screw jar that remains unreferred to.

Kyeo writes VODKA on the vodka. "And that one?"

Permalink

"And the two little ones, what are they called, what should we know about them besides not to mix?"
