The other kids at Cara's table were all staring at her in awe as she mixed condiments in a saucer, and then added spices from her own space.
"You should try this, it will put scales on your chest." She insisted.
The kids giggled at the dragon humour, but moving too close to the super spicy concoction made their eyes water.
Rue frowned, but didn't want her new best friend to be an outcast, so she took a careful bit on the end of her spoon.
Her eyes went wide the moment that it touched her tongue.
"What is that? The scent is so spicy my eyes water, but it tastes... sweet and sour at the same time?" She asked.
Cara nodded happily. "Perfect, isn't it? Hot, sweet and sour all at once. The perfect dipping sauce for meats of all sorts."
Rue tried again, taking a bit onto a bite of chicken.
"Oh, you're right. But the mana is making my head spin."
