Chop, chop, chop.

" 'Teyam, honey. You're gonna need to chop them into a very small piece so it would be easy to crush them down, okay? Don't let it be so big.'' Rasmei moved a head into her kitchen as she picked out her crusher.

''Yes. Mom.'' Neteyam held onto his knife carefully and put his affordance on what he was doing, chopping down Cybompongons (lemongrass) into very small pieces with his hair swung from left to right because of his movement. All of sudden little Tuk wanted to eat hot curry and she went around and asked for her mother to make it for her. So today, all the whole family was sitting around their pod and trying to make the paste so they could make Tuk her food.

Lo'ak was at the corner with his dad, as they were cleaning the fishes and cutting them down to be ready for Rasmei to be cooked. With Kiri have her fingers stained with Turmeric, she has already done peeling the garlic and red garlic neatly putted them on the plate.

''I have the stuff you want now, Mrs. Sully.'' Rasmei turned her head to the entrance of her maori seeing Tsireya carrying a basket of herbs that Rasmei had been asking for the girl to help.

''Thank you, sweet girl.'' Rasmei offered her a smile as she walked over and helped her to the basket and looked down to the ingredient she was having right now. A grin came to her face when Rasmei picked up the herb and put it up to her nose to sniff. ''This is great.''

''You got something for me to do? I can help. You all seem to be working around today, I might want to know what you'd cook for lunch too.'' Tsireya offered her help and Rasmei raised her brows at the same time she shifted her eyes to Lo'ak who suddenly had his ears perked up to the question. He was holding the knife, and hand was filled with fishes' blood but his ears did listen to the conversation between his mother and the girl. Jake might have acted like he didn't know because he clearly didn't want to embarrass his younger son about it either but as his eyes turned to Neteyam who already had a teasing grin on his face as he chopped what he was having in between his fingers.

''Well, yeah. If you want. I'd like you to see and teach you too. When I finish, I could have you bring the food to the Olo'eyktan and the Tsahik.'' Rasmei nodded and she has never been seeing someone this happy like Tsireya before as she had offered her to help. She was a kind girl that Rasmei was glad she didn't take her attitude as her mother but taking from Tonowari himself. It was somehow refreshing that Tsireya got along with the Sully well and taught them throughout their training, thanked to Rotxo too. But her brother wasn't really, Lo'ak and Neteyam almost got into a fight with him earlier that day if it weren't for Tuk to tug them back home.

''Come in, come, Tsireya.'' Rasmei picked up the dried lemon leaves, dried galanga, dried chillies and more likely she grabbed them over to clean again with the freshwater. Tsireya watched carefully as Rasmei moved around with the crasher before dropping her herbs into the bowl and crashing them down.
