When Kelly didn't take her hand, Jayani felt a little awkward. She cleared her throat and tried not to let it phase her, and was saved from total embarrasment when Oobie took her hand as well. "Oh! Oobie, that's a unique name," Jayani said, making pleasant conversation.
She wasn't entirely sure what all the boiling pot stuff was about, but it seemed to pass on. Oobie seemed more open to conversation, so Jayani turned her sapphire gaze onto him, her face pleasant and her body language relaxed. "What does becoming a man require?" She asked, clasping her hands lightly in front of her and trying not to rock on the heels of her boots. She was rather restless, used to moving around and always doing something.

(I didn't know you were offering your hand to me, I thought you were offering it to Oobie)

"I'm not too sure, but that's what I'm out here for. Through my travels I will learn what it means. Becoming stronger is also part of it for me."

"You know, from what I've seen becoming a man just means being successful in life. Taking on adult responsibilities like providing for a family and the like. If you're capable of magic you're already half way there."

Jayani nodded, then smiled. "well, I wish you good luck," she said. She looked over at Kelly as she spoke and nodded, agreeing with her. Then, she lifted her hands, gesturing mildly as she spoke. "I think I'll have to decline the dinner, although thank you very much for offering it to me. I've really got to get going. It was nice meeting both of you," Jayani said with a smile for both, then turned to make her way back to the road to continue on her journey.

"O-Oh, um....okay, bye..." Kelly said, frowning a little as Jayani left. She let out a sigh and turned back to Oobie.
"I think dinner's almost ready. You'll at least stay, right?" She asked, sounding somewhat lonely.

"Yes, I'll be here. Atleast until morning. What else is in the stew?" Oobie looks up from his book to see the other tall one was gone, strange. He then payed notice to her accent, "Where are you from? I don't hear people talk like you do."

"Gauldin, but I haven't been back in years." Kelly said as she got up to stir the pot. From the boiling contents Oobie could smell various herbs and spices, amplifying the air with a mouth-watering waft that only complimented the juicy pieces of tender meat in the brown, bubbling liquid.
"I kicked my accent after learning Common because I figured no one wants to lizen tew me tuk like zis" She said, switching to a French accent halfway through. "As for the stew contents...nothing special. Rabbit meat, potatoes, some herbs I found around here, mushrooms, onions, pepper and salt for flavor, nothing amazing. You're not allergic to anything, right? Wouldn't want my new friend dying from my lousy cooking."

"No, I don't have any allergies. I'm sure your cooking can't be worse than my mother's. She's a great hunter but she can't cook, she prefers to eat hearts of large animals as they are when she removes them. You could say she's a form of savage, the kind that does ritual sacrifice." While talking Oobie starts practicing with his powers again, placing Abney Park on a small rock.

Kelly stirred the pot a little as she talked.
"Heh, well eating someone's heart isn't as savage as you think. Even some humans believe eating their own kind is doing their spirit honor. I've known people to use hearts of animals as a delicacy. Livers, even." She said as she grabbed a couple of bowls and spoons. Kelly poured some of the meaty broth into the wooden bowl, steam rising from it and filling the air with the smells of a deliciously-cooked soup. She handed one of the bowls to Oobie with a spoon. If he were to eat, the soup would have a zesty flavor from the herbs and spices, but not overpowering. The broth would be hot due to Oobie's assistance in boiling the waters but blowing on it would be sufficient to cool it down. Over all it would be one of the tastier rabbit stews he's enjoyed.
"I'm not a fan of it myself. I think the craziest I got was eating head cheese. Do you know what that is? I'll give you a hint, only half that name is accurate."
She smiled and winked at him before joining him on the log. She took a few bites after blowing on the soup before swallowing and continuing to speak.
"What kinds of food do you like then?"

Oobie had managed to turn the rock he was touching red hot and it was starting to become soft like dough. He stopped now to take the bowl and spoon. "Thank you."
He inhales the aroma of the stew first then fishes around to get a scoop of everything to get a full taste of all the components together. "Mmm, I like the spice. I've never heard of head cheese, no."
Oobie blows on the soup a few times before taking another spoonfull into his mouth. "I like fish most actually, Salmon dipped in egg and bread crumbs then fried is my favorite."

"Ah, Caviar....never took you for a guy who likes the fancier things in life."
She took another sip of her soup before speaking again.
"That isn't to say you don't have good taste," She said, clarifying her statement, "but generally for humans things like goose liver and salmon eggs are seen as exotic and fancy foods. Personally, I'd kill for a burger. Ground beef molded into a giant wad, slathered with mayonaise, ketchup, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and all the cheese you can think of, and slammed between two pieces of toasted bread. Fucking delicious."
She made an "okay" sign with her hand before going back to her meal.
"Salmon in eggs and bread crumbs, is that a kobold dish? Or is that something you discovered elsewhere?"

"It's just something my dad does. He must have learned it in his travels. Burger sounds good, has a lot of different things in it." Oobie takes a few more sips. "Do you have siblings? For me it's nice to be away from my brother and sister, they can be annoying to be around. My sister Smoke always challenges me, and my brother Wah... he seems slow in the head."

She sighed wistfully, as if remember.
"I did have one. Deborah, she was about.....5 I believe? She died in the same dragon attack that took my parents' lives and destroyed my home 13 years ago. Cute kid, a little on the dumb side but she was just a child so it made sense. From what I remember we got along fine. We both lived on a turnip farm so it was always chores, chores, chores."
She chuckled and ate some of her meal. Although she smiled, it was a weak one barely recognizable from a straight face or even a frown. Her eyes seemed pained.
"My family were good people. Folks were kind and honest, kid sister was adorable...Pretty sure I was a handful but I did my job the same as anyone else."
Eventually she stopped and fell silent for a bit, taking another bite of the soup.
"....What's your opinion of dragons?" She blurted out suddenly.

"That's too bad. Dragons? I believe Kobold are related to dragons, but I don't have an opinion on them, I've never seen one. From what I've been told I know to steer clear of them." They both had different backgrounds but here they were sharing stew together. Oobie contemplated a bit and added, "Ms. Kelly, I wouldn't mind traveling with you for a certain amount of time to mutually benefit both of us. Teaming up should help us in our goals."

She snorted as Oobie spoke of dragons. After her run-in with Trogdor she didn't know what to think. The same dragon that killed her family is now her ally. The gods have a weird sense of humor. When Kelly died she's going to have a stern talking with them, even if it meant lock-picking Heaven's gate and sneaking into their homes. She cheered up when Oobie mentioned joining her on her travels but frowned soon after. Aw, crap.... She thought to herself, I'd kill to have this kid with me but I don't know if I should get him mixed up in my banditry. The last thing he needs is his face plastered on wanted posters....She finished her soup in silence before speaking up. "Um....well, I'd love for you to join me." She said with a smile, "But I got a question for you. You think you can handle it? I'm not exactly going around saving the world, you know. I'm either killing someone or taking something, usually both. It's not heroic work, it's pretty nitty and/or gritty. Think you're up for it?"

"Hmph, I had a feeling. Honestly I don't care, in fighting I will become more powerful in my abilities, whatever it takes it takes to make your way in the world. I do believe I can handle myself, you may find my talents useful." Oobie crosses his arms with a smug look. Killing people? Just a test of his abilities. While his siblings may be going down different paths, Oobie would now be going to the path once walked by his father during his adolescent days. "Back in the day when my father was a few years older than me, he used to threaten to burn people's houses down if they didn't pay him tribute, hehe. But then he found out it was his friend's house and they went on an adventure together. After that I don't remember him saying about doing that again, maybe he got bored of it or didn't need to do it anymore."

"Typical kobold behavior, then." She blurted out. "Sadly most of my knowledge of kobolds would sound racist to you. They're seen as arrogant, prideful, cowardly creatures who believe they're the descendants of dragons. They believe because of that kobolds are superior to all life except dragons. Thankfully exceptions exist, including yourself, so it's only a stereotype."

An itty, bitty, stalking creature would creep along. Creep, creep, creep~ A small lanky-looking animal would try to scoot around the tent - more so, tuck his head underneath a wall and squeeze his way in that way!
