A strange, smokey smell came wafting from her pot, prompting her to quickly add the water and mix everything together. Unfortunately, her taste buds confirmed her fears: it was too little too late. Everything was obviously overcooked, but the water didn't look or taste like a broth. Only mercy from Rise would give her a passing meal.
