[ A plain box arrives at Drummer's door one afternoon, addressed to her in Miller's handwriting. It's been hand-delivered, but he didn't knock when he dropped it off (or maybe Drummer had been out at the time).
It contains a mid-sized shaker bottle filled with a dark red spice mixture containing mostly cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. It's accompanied by another handwritten note, clearly torn from Miller's notebook: ]
"You can't tell me that the food here isn't bland lik pashang. I'm calling it 'Ceres Spice.' Goes good on most things.
-Miller"
[ If this is a thank you for checking up on him after he got the shit beaten out of him, it doesn't say. ]
[ Now this is a gift. One fit for a Belter from another Belter. She's never been much of a cook, but she doesn't need to be when she's got this on hand. ]
Oye. I find everything else I need, I make kibble for us sometime soon. Eat like real Belters for a night. You in?
Try the Styxmart in the West District. I'll be damned if they don't have everything you're looking for. Place is huge. A far cry from the markets on Ceres or Tycho.
Everything here is a far cry from what we know. I'll take a look at it. Definitely going to be better than the corner store outside my hole. Maybe they sell better alcohol, too.
I don't want to spoil the surprise too much, but yes. And they give out free samples. Free real cheese. Can you believe it? I recommend trying the Gruyère.
Not ruining anything if you only tell me the one kind.
I bring some of that to go with our kibble. More than just the samples. If I get something you not like, you'll have to give me better direction next time.

Just let me know when. I'll bring drinks.

Word of advice: Check out the cheese counter

[ They may be having cheese with their kibble if the answer is yes. ]
