Great Big Globs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

Caelia watched her brother carefully, noting that he seemed slightly surprised to see her - if she had to guess, at least. Likewise, he didn't answer her quickly at first, which made her wonder if he'd expected the question at all. The answer most definitely was not obvious, at least not to her, hence the way she was wrinkling her nose in faint disgust as she peered from the concoction to Geoffrey and back again. After a moment he finally answered, saying it was medicine for Cairo. Oh. That made sense... or, at least helped her make some sense of whatever weird mush that Geoff was making.

"Oh. That's nice," Caelia commented finally, though that didn't fully erase the slightly confused expression she'd been making, and her voice had a touch of wariness. After a moment, though, the slender girl finally sat down, maintaining a cautious distance away from her brother's puddle. Even if she thought it looked gross, it really was a quite nice gesture, and she hoped it might work, if he could be convinced to eat it at all. "Do, uh, you think it tastes good?" Squinting at the muck, she was fairly certain she saw something shiny that might be the shell of some kind of bug, and its leg - or, even worse, the leg of something else. Caelia tried to hold back a frown, not wanting to discourage him. He probably knew a lot more about this stuff than she did, anyway. "Or is it not medicine for eating?"
