"Oh, I do," she says, cheerfully.

It doesn't always like her, but when has that ever stopped her before?

The food is spicy. It's also excellent. There's spiced rice studded with tomatoes and onions, some kind of savory, curried stew, lentils in a creamy sauce. There's a steaming dish of fresh-baked flat-bread to mop up the sauces with – and to try and save her burning mouth with after Shuri dares her to eat a tiny pepper, an act that leaves Shuri with tears of laughter and Sharon giggling helplessly, pink-faced with her eyes running from the heat.

Nakia takes pity and pushes a glass of some cold yogurt-based drink her way, and Sharon thanks her before downing half of it at once.

"Shuri," T'Challa chides, but it's already resigned, and Shuri's eyes dance at him.

"What? She could have said no."
