(@ex-atomos) โ-ย Forย one of the wrost mischief they did.
Random alt picker sez: Maayan
A smile curls Maayanโs red-painted lips.ย โMischief, is that what youโre asking after?โย
Her fingers tap against her upper arm as she thinks.ย โAs a child, I had a great distaste for leeks โ I think because our cook was often lax with washing them, and so they were unpleasantly gritty. But not to consume what was placed in front of me was the height of impropriety, of course โ gift of the elementals, and so on, you see.โ She snorts softly.ย
โNevertheless, at one point the idea entered my head that I would notย eat a single leek more. But when I raised this as a possibility, my mother would not hear of it โ and so leeks appeared on the table, midday and evening, for over a dozen suns in a row.โย
โI was determined, but not a fool โ if I could wait it through, the siege would inevitably end. So for over a dozen suns, leeks disappeared from the table, only to find themselves in the latrine โ albeit by a rather unorthodox route of delivery.โ
โThis prestidigitation might have continued indefinitely, had my armoire not begun to emanate a peculiar odor โ with my purse, which had secretly borne the loathsome vegetable from the dining table, being found to be the source of the stench.โย
โDespite the punishment I was given, the standoff would likely have persisted further, but for the fact that our cook disappeared in the night at the end of the moon.โย Maayan smiles slightly.ย โI quite like leeks, now.โ
(Thank you for the ask, @ex-atomos!)
