better off leaving than staying in it alone

She's glad Hecate approves of her cooking skills.

Does Fay only eat vegetables?

barefoot-in-the-snow

...More or less, yes.

Hecate thought you had to eat meat to be healthy, though. Is it a wizard thing?

barefoot-in-the-snow

Hum. "So... The thing food has that's good for you is 'nutrients.' One of those nutrients is protein, which you need for building muscles. One is iron, which you need so your body can make blood. Meat has a lot of protein and iron. So, if your food is otherwise potatoes, it's the cheapest way to get those nutrients."

"But there's other ways to get protein and iron in your diet, so people don't strictly need meat."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"One of the things I'll be teaching you is - more mundane knowledge like that. And how to take care of yourself."

be-the-armor

"I know how to take care of myself."

barefoot-in-the-snow

"There's some knowledge that will help, still."

be-the-armor

"I guess..."

She turns to finishing dinner with a contemplative silence - though welcoming, if Hecate wants to say something.

Hecate will eventually have more questions about what sorts of other mundane knowledge Fay was thinking of. Though not as in-depth as this afternoon's discussion. Whether this is because she's getting tired for the day or because mundane things are just inherently less interesting is not yet determined at this time.

She can give a very light overview, at least.

And soon Hecate is yawning too much to pretend anymore.

Time for bed?

be-the-armor

Mrrrrrrrr....

(Yes, it is.)

barefoot-in-the-snow

Fay would like to go to sleep, at least. She has a big day tomorrow.

be-the-armor

Okay... Bed it is.

barefoot-in-the-snow

"Goodnight, Hecate."

be-the-armor

"Good night, Miss Reynolds."

barefoot-in-the-snow

And to bed with them both.
