The idea of the old Viking cookbook back at the Whittaker homestead, or simply purchasing one here or looking up the recipes through the net, excited Miles at the prospect of trying the new (old) foods. Miles honestly was more than ready for such an endeavor, but gladly focused on the here and now to enjoy what they were doing.
Not long after, the tour guide informed them of the available pod. Miles took Lina's gentle warning to heart as she spoke of the upcoming authenticity, to include the smell.
The way she spoke gave Miles the hint that the smells probably weren't going to be very pleasant. He understood that, of course, since the era of the old Viking city was well before a period of significant care for hygiene. But, authenticity was what he came for, and he was sure he had endured worse.
"It's part of the adventure, isn't it?" he winked to her as they made their way to the pod. They were quickly situated, and were soon on their way.
Miles could definitely agree the smells were...off-putting...to say the least. However, that didn't keep him from enjoying the aspects that came along with watching how this society lived so long ago. It was informative, for sure, but also full of such real, human, moments.
Whereas he was half-Haliian, most of his life was spent very much as part of a Human society. He learned what he needed to of his Haliian heritage to know how to control his touch empathy, as well as some of the traditions, to include the bonding of others with the "Canar". A thought he had considered speaking to Lina about, and he felt after all was said and done with today, he would broach the subject.
They seemed to get through the worst of the "bad-smelling" part rather quickly before they moved on to the next exhibit.
