Woe for Real-Eel, cont. [15 Chirreb 4261]

So, of course, I introduced Real-Eel to Vae.

Me:“Vae, this is Real-Eel, who is a friend of
mine from … from … “

Real-Eel:“Havune.”

Me:“Right, Havune. Real-Eel, this exceedingly
dangerous pig is Vae — that’s Vaisessasilmin, the
nendrai.”

Real-Eel:“How do you do?”

Vae:“It’s the tailtouch, mainly, though it’s
clawing and biting I’ll do for the little things, and for
practice, like. How do you do?”

Real-Eel:“Um … what?”

Me:“Tell her how you terrorize cities and
perform horrible wickednesses on great prime heroes!”

Real-Eel:“Oh — I do that with my cooking. My
piffish noodles, especially.”

Vae:“What are piffish noodles?”

Me:“What are piffish noodles?”

Real-Eel:“Round noodles, cooked with powdered
fish and powdered chilis and powdered sugar and powdered
biscuits and powdered cumin and powdered mushrooms and
powdered spice cookies and powdered apples.”

Me:“That sounds very dangerous. Why do
you make it?”

Real-Eel:“The first time? Everything powdered
that I had in the pantry, on noodles. It was good! Sort
of! So now I make it now and again.”

Vae said nothing, but looked very confused and a bit hurt.

Me:“What’s wrong?”

Vae:“Just the wish on me for things I can’t
have.”

Real-Eel:“Well, I can make you some, if you’d
like.”

Vae:“That’d be a kindness and a half!”

Me:“R-E!”
