"Don't be so sure son. There are lots of those fearsome underwater creatures around and some of the famous one are in extinction. I hit at the right spot or the propellers getting to those animals could kill them and get me in serious trouble," Benjamin said.

"Come on son. Smell the spices. You're the chef of the house," Benjamin playfully pushed Alex towards the heaps of straw bags containing different types of herbs and spices. He carefully took a little bit of each and sniffed them before telling his father which one to purchase.

"Amazing sir. You have a very sensitive nose," a young Indian girl approached him with a smile. Alex sent her a smile of her own.

"Why, thank you. I was always the one who cooks in the family so I know how to differentiate ingredients from the smell. It seems like you are familiar with spices too, Miss?"

"Meena. Call me Meena," the girl said.
"Miss Meena," Alex said but stopped at the raised hand of Meena's.
"Meena, just Meena sir." She said.

"Meena, then. My name is Alexander Thornhilt. You can call me Alex since you allowed me to call you Meena," Alex said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

"You are a very charming person Alex. But I must justify something. I know spices because this spice stand here belongs to me," Meena said surprising Alex a lot.
