[this is what happens when you give Myr things that food can be made out of, Melys. he will enlist Vandelin to make them edible, and then your secrets will be laid bare.

--of course, this now begs the question of what he was supposed to do with them otherwise, and the slight pause before he answers is the equivalent of deer-in-headlights panic from people who are not Vandelin.]

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about keeping them. They made damn good pie. The freshwater kind always do. I haven't gotten to make lamprey pie since-- [since the Hinterlands, where the traditional "boil them in their own blood" recipe was ideal for cutting down on ingredients. and there wasn't exactly pie crust to be had, or seasoning, or...anything but the blood.]

--Maker knows, but it's been a while. I missed it.
