Ev smiled and laughed just a little bit when she Nat started asking about sauces and marinara. "I'm sure you could ... but you'll probably get bored of it if you do that." She led Natalia over to the different side of the aisle. "Over here they have two different kinds of sauces. Bottled sauces that you just need to heat up or dried sauces that you would need to follow the instructions in order to make," she informed her. "Do you want to know which ones I like?" she asked, wondering if that might help Natalia make her decisions about the sauces. She inspected the bottles, trying to find the ones that her mother made for her when she was little. Sure, she cooked now and bought some of these, but she didn't come to this shop for her food, so she wasn't exactly sure where everything was.

Not only was pasta an adventure to be had, but apparently there was a plethora of sauces available for use, too. When Natalia got to the aisle, she studied the jars. Some of the names she recognized, and she picked up jars of those almost instantly just because of the familiarity. Evelyn had said that there were dried sauces, too, but Nat was just going to stick with the premade ones. She didn’t want to bite off more than she could chew when it came to making meals. When Ev asked if Nat wanted to know which ones she liked, Natalia regarded her basket. “Sure.” She decided. “Nothing wrong with expanding my palate, right?” Besides, Nat had a feeling that if she looked, the sauces she chose would have been on the more expensive side of the range, and she didn’t want to break the bank every time she ate. “Then I think I’m finished with the supermarket for now.” Natalia admitted. She didn’t get nearly enough food to survive the week, but the whole experience was more intimidating than she had thought, and she just wanted to eat dinner without being stressed.

Ev smiled as Natalia put more pasta sauce in her cart, listening to Ev's preferences. She didn't have to do that, but it made Ev feel validated. "It sounds like a good plan to me," she said, nodding when Natalia said she was done shopping for now. Ev followed her to the line at the front of the store and waited as Natalia got the groceries. She looked at her friend as they left the shop. "Do you want help putting your food away?" Ev asked, uncertain. She'd be willing to help Natalia, but didn't know if the girl would want it. If not, that was fine, Ev just thought she'd offer.

Nat smiled at Evelyn when she approved of the plan of trying more foods. Generally people weren’t opposed to getting more creative, but it was difficult to get a genuine response to that. So far, the other Ravenclaw had seemed nothing but genuine, which was nice after living a life that was built around masks and politesse at the expense of truth. When Evelyn asked if she wanted help putting away the groceries, Natalia paused a moment before nodding. “If you want to grab onto my arm, you can Side-Along to my residence?” Nat suggested. Even though her father was dead, and his threats had died with him, she still preferred not to give away her location. In any case, it would be nice to have someone else to help put away groceries and perhaps make dinner with.
@evelyn (end? or you can do one more)

They seemed to have created a tentative friendship, for now, and Ev was happy with that. After all, things got a little rocky after those letters so at least this time they were able to talk a little. It was just an added bonus that Evelyn was actually able to help Natalia out during her experience shopping for food. Ev wasn't the best cook in the world, but she knew how to do it and could follow recipes pretty well, so maybe this would be able to help her friend out more. She was a little surprised when Natalia nodded at her offer, agreeing to let Ev come and help out. She offered her arm, saying that she could apparate them so Ev reached out and took it. She was excited to spend the day getting to know Natalia a little better. --- the end --- @natalia
