It does smell delicious, in fact, but in a way that's almost overwhelming; the richness of unaccustomed spices sets her stomach roiling like the cloud sea in a bad storm. He looks so proud of himself, though, and she would hate for him to think his cooking is the problem! So she takes the offered sip, trying to appreciate the flavor even as she can feel her body rebel against it the whole way down.

"Mm..." She closes her eyes in mock contemplation, though in truth she's waiting a moment for the nausea to settle before she dares to speak.

"Truly, you've missed your calling," she says at last. "Just think, you could have been the darling of the restaurant world."

(Inasmuch as Eorzea has a restaurant world outside Limsa, anyroad.)

"The recipe's fine. Don't change a thing. But..." A white lie about having eaten on the road offers itself up and she discards it. She means to tell him what's going on anyway, doesn't she? "I fear I didn't really bring my appetite," she admits, stepping away. "Save some for me, and I'll take dinner later?"
