What I hadn't realised when I was cooking up the feast for my two companions was that a bit of a crowd had been drawn to the common area of the Initiate dorm room.
Aliens had been drawn in by the strange smells from the oven, and then upon learning what was about to happen had settled down to watch the two brave souls that dared think themselves able to consume the spicy human dish.
The two aliens took their first bites at the exact same time. Their spoons were full and loaded as Yr'Arl brought his up to his mouth and Akash slotted his own into a groove in the wood of his chest that ran along his abdomen.
For a moment it seemed as if they were both going to be fine, Yr'Arl was savouring the flavours of the dish, slowly chewing, and Akash was stock still as his body did whatever it did to break down and absorb the nutrients into his system.
