.: Hakkai looked at the fresh produce at the market stand, examining it. He was certain they were on the right path, but this area had many fruits and vegetables he was unfamiliar with. A small dragon who sat on his shoulder sniffed at the vegetable in his hand, unsure. Perhaps he could ask someone what sorts of things it was used for.
“Ah, excuse me, sir,” he asked a man nearby who was also deciding on what to buy. “Is this a sort of potato? I’m unfamiliar with the shape. It’s much different than what I’m accustomed to back home, you see.”
Glancing through the produce, Ignis was already debating on what to cook for the prince and the others. While most of the product was completely over priced, he still wished to make a wonderful meal, using inexpensive items if needed.
He is brought out of his thoughts at the question beside him. “Ah– No, that is not a potato. It is more of a radish as it has a bit of a tart taste to it.” He blinked a few times, tilting his head to the side, “If you wish, I could help sort you out– what ingredients are you needing to prepare a meal?”
“I was considering making a hot pot, so I would need cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, meat, tofu…” Hakkai listed the items off the top of his head. “I wasn’t sure what this region would have, but hot pots leave a lot of room for improvisation.” He wasn’t sure if it was a dish the other man was familiar with. The area did seem rather western in style, but Hakkai supposed that made sense. They had been heading in that direction after all.
He smiled politely to the man. “Thank you for offering to help. While I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t accidentally poison anyone with unfamiliar ingredients, I’d rather avoid killing my friends.”
