Ma'am this is the body of a Hume. Please respect the cultural differences of the First.

But really whatever you call it, Hyur or Hume, there is a question of whether it is a case of duller senses than a Miqo'te possess or if it indifference to taste Elidibus is, in his own way, struggling against. Most times forgotten but often more concerned about nutritional value than the taste, this is the first time in a very long while he has ever sought to do more than acknowledge taste as a factor in an academic sense.

It shows too. Because after getting a glass of water to rinse out the taste of the previous bite, he copies Q'uila's sampling of the pate. Just like before there is not much reaction, although he does acknowledge a fact.

"Yes, this seems to suit bread better than the other spread." But he does also take a small second sample of the pate. Clear sign that it is preferred right?

She asks finally. He'd been expecting it and had prepared an answer.

"It seemed necessary to learn the basics, since it was inevitable the team I've been assigned to would be assigned to meal preparation."

And here they are at the beginning of the third month since Elidibus appeared, and it's Red Team's turn to cook.

"Perhaps you may not have thought much on the matter. But how long do you think it's been since I have had to nourish myself as mortals do?" Millennia perhaps? And Elidibus doesn't take corporeal bodies anywhere near as much as his brethren had. "Thus I'm having to relearn."

It seems reasonable enough an explanation sure. But it may leave some questions. Such as why not take advantage of the memories attached to the body he possessed from the times when Ardbert himself was still living.
