Farvardin stood up and reached into her money pouch. She put the coins counter by Shakuntala. "Thanks. That was ....... interesting." She said. She then turned around to leave so she could go play more games. Perhaps some that weren't so dangerous to her stomach and taste buds. ((You can totally say that Farvardin didn't pay enough and Tala's mom gunning for her. XD ))

"A Game sounds fun." Saoirse responded returning the smile. She liked the other girl, Shakuntala seemed very nice, although she seemed to have her hands full trying to take care of all the customers the booth was getting all by her self. It was starting to get crowded. "You can server the others first if you'd like I don't mind waiting since I've all ready eaten."

As she was addressed by Shakuntala, Lloren eyed the other customer's odd behaviors suspiciously. Jugs of water. Breaths on fire. Looks of profound regret. She took it all in and concluded that there must have been some powerful spice involved. May you rest in peace, tastebuds of the people. She turned back to the booth's keeper. "Uh... is that because of the game? Because if it is, I think I'll just be ordering the food, please... do you have anything mild?" She asked hopefully, moving her hands horizontally with her fingers spread as if flattening a sheet of paper to put emphasis on the 'mild' part.

(( Sorry for the wait, guysss! gonk ))
Shakuntala nodded her head at Saoirse. "I-I'll get to you in a... moment," she told the redhead before approaching Lloren.
The girl also gave a side-eye to some of the previous contestants. Her empathy went out to them -- she knew their pain when she had to be a taste tester for her mother's cooking. Concentrating her eyes back on Lloren, she responded, "Ah, y-yes... W-We do... I-I'll... I'll be right back with it..."
A quick trip to the back caused Shakuntala to procure Saoirse's six plates for the game and a balanced seventh plate of mild curry near the edge for Lloren. Returning, she slid the single plate before the customer and the rest to the contestant.
Trying to address the two at the same time, Shakuntala jumbled her words. "The curry's mild of the six plates... Please enjoy begin..." Catching herself, she shook her head with a small sputter and said at one to each of them, first the redhead than the other. "T-Take a bite of only one plate... Good luck... And, ah, p-please enjoy your meal..."

Saoirse was a bit nervous as the dishes where brought out, she hadn't really noticed the other contestant and looking around she came to the conclusion that the spicy dishes where very hot. She smiled politely at Shakuntala as the other set down the six warm dishes.
She looked at them debating which of them she should try. After a moment she decided to go for the third dish and grabbed a bit of it with the spoon. She hesitated for a moment before eating it and was quite pleased to find that she was greeted with the warm richness she had had in the previous dish and not the flaming disaster that had seemed to have befallen the others. She grinned happily as she finished the dish, it would be a waste not to and it tasted so good!

The days nearing the end of the festival began to lessen to the point the amount of customers that flocked to the booth had thinned. Some still came and went for Kamla's cooking, but after word spread around of how much of a literal pain the curry game was, most avoided it; even when offered. Shakuntala slumped down on the counter where she mostly planted her bum before and watched pedestrians pass by rather dully. She felt her eyelids grow heavy and she made an arduous effort to keep them open, but with each blink, they slid over her eyes lower and lower. It was only when she felt a hand on her shoulder did she jump up and shift her head around to her mother.
Kamla released her grip and replied, "M'dear, help me out. Some things needs to be packed."
Shakuntala rose her slumped head a few inches. "E-Eh?" she muttered softly.
Kamla began to walk away and, when her daughter didn't rise to her expectations, she turned on her heel and forwarded, "Well, are you going to help me or not?"
"W-We're... leaving?"
"Yes," Kamla confirmed. This answer prompted Shakuntala to rise. The stool she sat upon made a creaky scratch to the floor as the seventeen year old followed her parent to the kitchenette in the back.
Shakuntala nodded her head. As she began hefting up some of the pots to the barrel brimming with water in the back, the girl rolled up her sleeves a bit higher and got to work on scrubbing them clean. Water splashed about as she poured water from one of them and slid it to the counter beside her. She heard her mother get to work as well; scooping leftover bits of rice and curry into a bucket before setting the plates beside Shakuntala to wash.
Between her scrubbing, her actions noticeably slowed, and Shakuntala paused as a thought tiptoed into her mind. She recalled the promise she had made with Alec and how, after the festival, she was to go with him to sign-up for the military. It was only a few more days until the festival was fully over and this, matched with her exchange with the redhead, made her swallow thickly.
Soon... Soon, I'll have to tell her... And this... A time like this- This peacefulness... It'll be no more.
"-tala? Shakuntala?"
The copper-skinned girl blinked and turned her eyes over to her mother. The woman tilted her head.
"Are you okay? You blanked out there for a bit..."
"Ah..." Shakuntala nodded her head. "I-I'm fine, mum... J-Just thinking about things, aha..."
Satisfied with this answer, Kamla let her daughter continue her chore as she returned to hers. A few moments later, the woman pipped up again.
"By the way, thank you," Kamla said. Shakuntala wasn't regarding her, but she could hear the smile in her tone. "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do this."
Shakuntala bowed her head at this as water sloshed about, wetting the ends of her sleeves a bit. Gulping back her guilt, she nodded her head and replied, "R-Right... Y-You're welcome..."
