<div class="floatleft">(http://americablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kili-203x300.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Sitting by the fire at the cooking hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>It was good to hear they both had similar taste in food. Valko grabbed the last vegetable in the basket as she spoke and worked on it considerably slower than he had the others. He didn't want to end the talk either but he couldn't think of anything which might keep her there talking with him. He smiled and said, "Did I forget to mention I'm a great swimmer too? I can help you learn more if you like. I'll also teach you how to fish if you want. Maybe if we keep each other company you'll find you have the patience. My father and I used to go fishing together all the time. Talking and doing little projects together on the riverbank helped pass the time." He finished up the last vegetable, dropping it into the pot and continued, "Also, I don't mind being adventurous when it comes to new dishes so if you need someone to taste your experiments I don't mind. Even if it does involve that hot spice."<br/><br/>He grinned at her to show her he was telling the truth, not just something he thought she might want to hear. He always had loved tasting new things. It was one of his favorite parts of the Summer meetings. Valko looked at the empty basket then to Ayshia, "Looks like we're done with this. Is there anything else you need help with?" He hoped there was something so they could continue their conversation. Or maybe she would just want to sit and talk more. She seemed to be enjoying it just as much as he was which was helping put him more at ease.
