The princess quietly listened to the various explanation given regarding the food and the taste of the fish and nods slightly.  "I'm curious about that...you say that this is only from a certain area of your world?  Do foods vary greatly from one part of the world to another?  On Ælphera there is some variation, dependent on the local varieties available, but largely that is all...slightly different flavors, perhaps slightly different seasonings, but largely similar."<br/><br/>She considers for a few moments to herself before continuing, "our seas are mostly 'fresh', though there are some places with higher mineral content than others, of course.  For the most part though, our fish do not vary in flavor much from one sea to the next, at least not so...noticeably as this.  I admit to a predilection for the avian varieties myself, thought my parents have always tried to dissuade such as being unseemly for a lady."  She frowns slightly pondering her parents for a moment, "um...homecoming could be quite interesting at the very least...I suppose I should have sent a message as to what was going on before we left.  But we return safely and triumphantly, with a vessel in tow...they shouldn't be<em>too</em>upset..."  She fidgets slightly as she considers it more.  "Ah...might I ask how long it has been local time since we first left?"
