"I'd love to try making it sometime," she said wistfully. "I never have to do any baking or cooking but it seems fun!"

“Yes ma’am.” Ky nodded. “…I mean… I don’t really like baking or cooking — I-I mean I don’t mind it— and I- I’m happy to be helpful however I can, that’s not what I was trying to say. But… I think the novelty of canning just made it more interesting to me.”

"There is something about jars that feels immensely satisfying," she mused. "They're nice and heavy, and smooth."

Ky nodded in agreement. "And I like the pop they make when you open them."

"They do!" Ky grinned, happy she got to tell Lady Constance about a simple joy of life she apparently hadn't heard before. "The lids get sealed on really tight so that nothing can get in or out -- air or dirt or sickness -- so you have to pry the lid off and it makes a really satisfying pop."

"Oh my gods I have to hear this," she said eagerly.

Ky grinned even more at that and nodded. "...I'm sure they probably have jars in the kitchen you could listen to?"

"I'll have to ask if I can pop some jars." She smiled. "They really pop, then?"

“I mean… I may be overstating the gratification of the pop. But I enjoy it.” Now she was worried she’d disappoint her.

"It sounds extremely satisfying. I've never had the opportunity to hear it; the jars always arrive at the table already open."

What an interesting life; never having made your own food before. She couldn’t imagine. “Ah. Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Meals are quite the event here.”

"Not always, just when there are a lot of people to cook for. My family usually just has small meals.

“Ah… that makes sense as well,” Ky said, dipping her head.

She nodded. "I've always preferred it over grand feasts."
