Perhaps there is a substitution we could make? After all, many civilizations have made bread during eras when salt was a rare commodity. There must be another way.
… I’d say we could serve it alongside something salty, like a fish but without salt the bread itself could be tricky to work with. That, and I have no idea how old the yeast here is so that could make things interesting. [ he looks over at susato. ] Any ideas?
…
Still. Bread’s bread, ultimately. We’re not looking for gourmet here, just… fuel.
Now it’s accessible, we could try. [ how hard is it to extract salt from the ocean anyway? ] Someone suggested pickling and smoking as other ways of keeping what we do have from going off, but we might as well try all options.
[ he takes a look at the amount of flour, and nods. ]
There’s enough here to allow for a couple of mediocre results.
Don’t knock the hand that’s making free food for you?
[ she’s not wrong. anyway, hold up, he’s gonna grab some of the kitchen equipment he’s found around here and line them up. might as well get started on this potential disaster bread, after all. ]
The most we need after this is a rolling pin, a clean surface and an oven, but we can work on that when get to it. [ with the bowl he’ll just set about doing the whole pour-flour-and-yeast-in, make-a-well-and-add-wet-ingredients for the dough part. ]
You think of someone you’d happily knock around for this next part?
Well, he was a very wealthy man. And she was a young pickpocket, so unlikely to be believed by the police. He threatened her and the other young children in her care if she did not tell his lies.

We’re missing salt, so who knows how this is gonna turn out but we should be able to eat it regardless.

But in the meantime, perhaps we try it without and see what we can do?

I suppose first things first is the dough. . .

[ he’s gonna get some of that flour and dig out a questionably old sachet of yeast that may or may not betray them. ]

Yes. I'm thinking about an awful man who forced a friend of mine to help him cover up a murder. I wouldn't mind pummeling him just a little.
no subject
That sounds like a story and a half. How did he twist your friend’s arm like that?
[ we’ll say the dough is done and the counter is floured so susato can start pummelling her piece of dough and get some stress relief. ]

So, someone with too much money used it to get himself out of trouble at someone else's expense. Where have I heard that before?

[Punching the dough even harder.]

I don't think you have to be charitable about someone just because they've died. Especially if they were the devil walking in life.

[Punching even harder!!]

[ he should probably start on his own dough. it's getting a good beating too. who needs therapy in a murdergame when you can punch bread instead? ]
no subject
. . . Well. I do not disagree, I suppose.
