*cool!*

"thank you so much for your hospitality. I really appreciate it"

'Nah, not a problem. Ya know, most people aren't willing to take me up on it'

"do you know why?"

'Why?'

"just curious. I like to pick up on things and if i can't pick them up I like to get the information from somebody."

'That makes sense. Though, to be honest, most surface dwellers gonna think ya gross, now ya live down here'

"i dont like people anyways. but only when i tell tales do they listen..."

'Same. Though not all surface-dwellers are bad. I used to think they were, but not any more'

"hmmm why dont you think all of them are bad anymore? what changed?"

'I got to know some of them as friends'

"thats good. so tell me something about yourself?"

'Um, well, I was raised by rats, I kinda was a drifter for a long time, then I settled down here. My favourite food is noodles, and i got a pet rat called Hiro, Hi for short'

"thats cute! I do like your rat. So if i told you i make some of the best noodles in the world... what would you do?"

'I'd faint with excitement. Why d'ya ask?'

"because i make some of the best noodles in the world." starts pulling out stuff from backpack. "what kind of stuff do you like in your noodles? do you like them spicy or not? they can be plain too."

Flint has now fainted with excitement. 

Yelena laughs and shakes flint.

'Huh? Oh yeah, the noodles. Mushroom and garlic, if ya can'

Rummages around in backpack and pulls out some mushrooms that are dried and some garlic cloves. She starts a small fire underneath a set up pot and warms up and boils some of the water in the jug she brought. putting in noodles she turns to flint. "how soft do you like your noodles?"
