The spice is the nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves... all of that sort of thing are common flavorings. Why shouldn't it be consumed?

[What do you mean, none of this stuff is bad!! She's just confused, now, but is chalking it up to misunderstandings of... some kind.]

[seaoflight]

Spice shouldn't be put into food. It's a hallucinogen. And an addictive narcotic.

[None of those flavorings ring a bell...]

[achillesheels]

[So that's the misunderstanding...]

That's not what these are. Spice is a term for all kinds of flavorings we can use to make food taste better... none of them are addictive narcotics.

[seaoflight]

Oh. OH! So...alright. That makes a lot more sense.

[Eyes widening, she laughs lightly, at herself more than anything.]

I was very, very confused. Thank you for clearing that up.

[achillesheels]

Absolutely! I know that we're all from different worlds, so misunderstands are bound to happen.

I can promise you that this actually does taste very good.

God I'm so sorry, I thought I answered this!

[seaoflight]

Well. Let's give it a try then.

[Pouring a cup, she sips and...huh!]

You aren't wrong. This is rather nice. Something you'd want on a cold morning for sure.

it's okay don't worry! it happens!

[achillesheels]

Mhm. Now you see what I mean.

It's perfect for those kinds of situations, or when you just want to relax. It was one of my favorite flavors at home, so it's nice seeing it here, too.

[seaoflight]

And you're from Earth? Or some other planet?

[Since everyone seems to be an earthling...]

[achillesheels]

[She shakes her head.]

Remnant. I hadn't heard of a place called Earth before coming here.

[seaoflight]

Remnant? [That's new.] What sort of planet is it? Do your people travel like this? [She waves her hand, encompassing the ship.]

[achillesheels]

It's a lovely planet, and for the most part, extremely peaceful. I loved it.

We did not, however, have anything like this. We were very much grounded.
