Shionne smiled at that, ".. I wouldn't mind that either." She paused, momentarily awkward. What else could she possibly talk to him about? Well she couldn't tell him she was thinking about asking Kisara to teach her to improve her cooking so she could make up for the first dish she and Alphen ate together. Speaking of...

She shifted to turn more towards him, inching a little closer, "Ah...actually... you mentioned once that one of the reasons you like spicy food so much is because you can feel it, right? That level of intensity.." She couldn't imagine it herself. Too bad everyone was resistent to the idea of spicy food or she'd suggest taste testing more peppers. She couldn't handle that level of spice that Alphen could yet though.
